BMW 5-Series Touring 525i SE 5d (1992/J) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Ten years old and 100,000 miles cost me £2800. Feels better than any new Ford, Toyota etc I have driven. Even as good as a new Range Rover.
Costs
Very cheap to service and repair, but less than 18mpg around town.

On the road
Driving
Fantastic, smooth, relaxing and silent, but no soul.
Performance
Brilliant motorway mileage eater. Enough power to safely overtake, but not a car to throw around.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Should be fine for another 50,000 miles at least. Hopefully!
Image
Even though my car is over ten years old, the comments I have got you would think I had paid £28,000, not £2,800. I am amazed how strong the badge is.
Comfort
It's a silent chill-out cruising machine with punch when you need it.

Security and Service
Security
Fully alarmed and hopefully of no interest to the kids and too cheap for the BOYS to bother with.
Service
Trying to stay away from all dealers/manufacturer.
