What Owners are Saying About the 1993 BMW 5 Series
"The Best Used Car on the Market"
"If you are fortunate enough to find a well maintained 535i, get it!! I bought a 1990 with only 130k miles and it has been great! The only problem we've had in 15k miles is the crank sensor working itself loose. Other than that, we've done routine maintenance and upgraded the wheels/tires to 16". We get a lot of compliments; most people can't believe it is a 1990. The original BMW paint lasts a long time. When choosing a used car over 100k miles, I would choose this one first."
"IF YOU NEED A RELIABLE CAR!"
"This car is my high school sweetheart. This was the first car I bought when I first started driving in high school. Its been 6 years later and shes still the best! The frame is all steel so I feel really safe in it. Great on gas. All I suggest is maintain it and it will take care of you. I do my own oil and filter change with full synthetic oil every 3-4 months (Will make the engine last longer), brake pads, ect. One problem with these model I heard is the coolant/ radiator. Mine went bad so I replaced it and now its even better!"
"Great Story"
"I have a great story about this car. I was not supposed to own it, but the guy I bought it from tried to sell me a lemon car out of his lot. I looked at and put a deposit on a older model Mercedes. When I got it in for the first time, it would not start. I told him I wanted my money back, but he would not return my deposit. I argued with him for so long, that he finally said, I have another car you can have and as it turns out, it was a forest green, 1993 BMW 525i. It had 222,000. Now its ready to turn over a half a million miles. That should be all you need to know. I love this car, it has been amazing and its still with me."
