  525i classic - 1990 BMW 5-Series
  By bmw admirer - May 3 - 2:00 am

  Bought 1989 525i new. It was my 3rd BMW. It has been great. No problems in 117000 miles. Great drive. I am going to get a new car for improved safety (i.e. airbags). Unfortunately, the next car wont be a BMW because of weird style and i-drive of coming 530i similar to 745i.

  The 535i Still Looks Classy - 1990 BMW 5-Series
  By Silver Fox - February 25 - 2:00 am

  A blast to drive! It looks rich, even today, its comfortable and classy. The automatic transmission is fine after 123,000 miles. I had to replace a leaking head gasket at 123,000. Otherwise, it has only needed regular repairs. The black paint still shines up well. Friends think it is a newer car than it is.

  I LOVE IT - 1990 BMW 5-Series
  By rjs5689 - December 24 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car in 1990 and still today she runs strong. i love hitting the parkway entrance becuase i know i can just hit it and fly on with no problem. It is very comfortablt it is black on black so it does get kinda hit. the auto transmisison shifts like a charm even with the 90000 mile son it now.

  Amazing Teuton - 1990 BMW 5-Series
  By SemperUbi - November 21 - 2:00 am

  This is a great car. Despite its age, it holds up well. Ours is a 1990 Bronzit (BMW-speak for gold) auto the slushbox is perhaps the cars only fault. It is a crime to bipass the BMW stick. Anyway, it has 208 hp, but feels like much more. Roars back and forth between CT and NYC in 2 hours (we live on the eastern side of CT) easily. Has never had any major problems. May or may not require the timing chain done better to do it than face the risk. Reliability has been totally spotless. As Yuppies start to sell these in favor of more haute couture cars, these become great buys. Destined to be a classic.

  1990 BMW 525i - 1990 BMW 5-Series
  By W E Phillips - September 9 - 2:00 am

  One of the best BMWs ever made. I have owned three BMW and I have enjoyed every one, but my 1990 525i has been unbelievable. 140,000 miles on the brakes and 155,000 miles on the original clutch and still counting. This is with four different drivers and 50/50 city and highway driving. Great looks, functionality, and dependability. Now if it just had a little more horsepower.

  A pretty good car over the years - 1990 BMW 5-Series
  By wingnut - May 5 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned my 525I since new (11 years). The only thing I would comment over the years is the maintenance cost is expensive, however one should expect,you pay for the price of luxury, and outstanding performance...I have no regrets in my ownership!! A well built car
