What things have gone wrong with the car?

Only a dead battery, but that caused the on board computer to say all sorts of things! When new battery was fitted, suddenly computer said all was okay again!

General comments?

BMW's and dealers are fantastic. Cheap to buy second hand, cheap to insure, service, with good fuel economy.

Auto means the car is swift rather than fast, but the 5 speed auto is one of motorings all time greats.

Super smooth motorway express with enough poise to hold it's own against sporty Fords and Vauxhalls through the bends.

Only thing better is M5...

I am looking to purchase a 1992 525i from a dealer. I have never seen a car in such excellent condition. I live in Ohio (United States) and I wanted to know what I should look closely at, before I decide to buy. Send responses to db_1984@yahoo.com. Thanks

I just bought a '91 525i auto. it is a wonderful car. On '91 and probably '92s as well - the main thing that goes wrong is the front control arm bushings need to be replaced - also check to see if the refrigerant system has been converted yet to R-134.

I'm from the Middle East and I have a 90' model 525i the air-condition is very good although it's extremely hot in here maintenance wise is very low and also the fuel consumption.
