Used 1992 BMW 5 Series 525i Sedan RWD for Sale near Chico, CA

I got this in february car as a temporary run about, not expecting much from it but it has exceeded all of my expectations. The ride, handling, steering, brakes and gearbox are all superb, only a tiny bit of clutch judder under light loads being the only noticeable (very minor) fault. The engine is very smooth and quiet and runs like clockwork...impressive considering its done 180000 miles!!! It goes well to, though needs 4000rpm to really shift and is not that quick off the mark at low revs, but makes a nice noise and 30mpg is a realistic figure in normal driving. The seat bases were worn, but otherwise the interior still feels solid and is very quiet. There is some rust to the wheel arches (BMW weak spot) but not much else, so better than most other 16 year old cars! Insurance is reasonable even at my age (21) and it has not needed anything fixing since I've had it. Great car!

Liked the sound of the engine, the cruise controle and the automatic gearbox. I disliked the reliability of the engine, the reliability of the gearbox, the failing aircon and high prices of parts. Fuel economy isn't influenced by the driver and how much he presses the throttle.

very reliable car (mine had 240k miles when i wrecked it), good gas mileage, fairly quick for a straight 6

The handling on the car is spot-on. Great feedback is given so you know what the car is doing and how far it is willing to go. The interior is spacious and holds up well over the years if taken care of well.

Even as an 15yr+ old car it can still out preform many modern day cars.
