1991 BMW M5 review from United Arab Emirates
"Hidden monster"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gear started to make noise on the second. Dealer told me it cannot be repaired. It will need to be completely replaced Cost $7,000. The car was drivable.
Before this problem, the car was running perfect and it had no problems what so ever.
General comments?
The car was a dream come true for me. I got it at a special price $13,000. Loved every moment. Nice recaro seats. Maintenance was affordable. I once drove it from Riyadh Saudi Arabia to Beirut Lebanon in 18 hours. My average speed was 180 K/hr and top speed 260 K/ hr in Syria.
Best of all goind up the mountains in Lebanon.
Unfortunately two weeks after I sold the car, it was involved in a serious accident. It was totaled.
Now I am planning to buy a 2000 M5. Advices are welcome.
