BMW 5-Series Saloon 520i 4d (1995/M) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Lovely! Had extra wood pack, full electrics, on-board computer, rear spoiler with brake light, etc.
Costs
Just about acceptable, but BMW prices are high and breakdown service was disgusting. Had to use RAC.

Driving
Excellent grip.
Performance
Sound - 24v model gave good pick-up.

Living with it
Reliability
Apart from battery, perfect. If you have a poor battery, the management system disables certain electrical functions thus allowing you to continue with driving.
Image
Still got it.
Comfort
Good.

Security
