BMW 5 series reviews
Total 101 BMW 5 series owner reviews
Pros: A good dynamic, comfortable riding, enough space.
Cons: The car is not a bad case of taking care of her. Rectification of defects at time and relaxed driving style means that car will serve well. As she has good dynamics and quiet hanger then people with this car is moving quickly down pits and it novied at running for major repairs. The disease is air conditioning fans - on 90% don't work. Many do not alter crankcase ventilation filters and generally makes cheap Polish filters. In humid weather through cheap Polish filter difficult air flowing and if a person has a dynamic driving style that leads to turbines rapid slaughter. Always cool turbine after dynamic driving car for 2min. Engines and exhaust gas passing millions of good. If you don’ t have time to follow car that is not required to buy.
