1990 525i

Looking at a 1990 525i in great shape, with 200,500 miles and was looking for some input from any BMW owner's out there.

Thanks

Is it slow ? aye-aye
Is it reliable ? aye-aye

The thing that goes first is the suspension... thrust arm bushings and such. Other than that there is no major problems to be on the lookout for.

btw. the m20b25 engine produces very very little power under 3000 rpm.

by little power, he means no power. Plan on hitting the floor a lot

great car though, other than that I certainly have no complaints.

I take the fifth on 1/4 of a million miles unless you are good at DIY.

Wish you good luck either way

nertheless looks like those mofos selling the car want 3600 now... instead of 3100 they said earlier and that my dad gave them so now my dad awaits the money back or we can go rape them for real fucking gheys.
