BMW 5-Series Saloon 520i SE 4d (1994/L) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Bought mine at £4,500, eight years old. You get a car that is unbeatable for the money.
Costs
Tyres empty your wallet, but nothing else has gone wrong. Cheaper than you think to run.

On the road
Driving
I have not driven anything that loves to be driven as much a 5 series.
Performance
Not a sportscar, but quick enough around town and swift on motorways.

Living with it
Reliability
Nothing has gone wrong and it has done 122,000 miles. Perfect.
Image
In dark grey metallic it is subtle and has presence, even at the age of the car.
Comfort
Plenty of room and really comfortable. More so in the back.

Security and Service
Security
Fit an alarm... even at this age, it still attracts attention.
Service
They want to change everything and are expensive. Autotech much better and cheaper.
