1991 BMW 5 Series Reviews, Pricing & Specs






























































































What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1991 BMW 5 Series appreciate its performance, build quality, and fun driving experience, especially on highways. Many drivers noted its excellent durability and low-end torque, making it suitable for daily driving. However, some found it underwhelming in city traffic and noted that it can be costly to maintain if not properly cared for. While the driving experience is enjoyable, some drivers mentioned that it lacks modern efficiency compared to newer models."
the ultimate driving machine! the car responds to abuse with enthusiasm. loves to attack the corners and cant wait to go sideways. just a joy to rip around the streets in our eat up the freeway at triple digit speeds. this car has the best seats i have ever sat in, modern electronics that rival the standards of today's cars. i never wanted to leave the car once i was sitting. if this bimmer wasn't so dated i would buy another in a heart beat.
July 1, 2009I love this model of BMW. The 5 series is just the right size. Big enough to carry a family on vacation in comfort and small enough to still be fun to drive. Having just bought the car, I haven't needed to do anything major yet. The build quality of all the BMW that I have owned has been exceptional! No annoying squeaks or rattles. Exterior has some rust but can be fixed up. For the year it is in excellent shape.
December 30, 2011Typical high quality BMW. Bit of a slug around town, but superb on motorways. Best car I've owned in years - smooth and comfortable and above all very affordable...one million times the quality of my old Landrover! Will stick with BMW now.

June 20, 2010It's a tank and very reliable. There is a very strong following so it's easy to fix yourself with internet posted articles. The e34 up through 1995. It's a great car to tour in.
July 1, 2008It is cool car to drive, I prefer having lower profile tires on it rather than the stock. The Dinan gives it more of a kick. Manuel transmission is pretty responsive, other than then clutch being a little slow...Fun
April 30, 2010The performance is still OK by todays standards, but nothing special. New BMW's with the same kind of performance use half the petrol this uses. The engine is great for daily driving as it's got a lot of low-rpm torque. Quality is excellent and it's not too costly to maintain. However it needs to be looked after, if it hasn't been maintained well it can be a real handful to drive. I owned one for three years and not much went wrong with it, but it does require more care and service than your basic japanese car. But it's a lot more fun to drive than said japanese car and quite safe for it's age too. They are getting a bit old, so finding a good one can be challenging or costly.
July 29, 2008Great car inside and out. Durability, exceptional. I would, however, recommend the 535 in this year. It's just a bit faster with better performance.
May 7, 2008there isn't much i can complain about this car besides the cigarette lighter doesn't work and power seat options on the passenger sideet doesn't work properly, and a couple of interior easy fixable irregularities. other then that it is definatly an extremely reliable car with great gas milage and plenty of power.
June 3, 2012great car, love it to bits... love the looks, love the sound... awsome build quality - they don't make them like they used to... the type of car that would die before it left you stranded somewhere... fun to drive... attracts a lot of attention by the quiet strength it conveys...
May 30, 2011performance - accelerate good, brakes are hard, handling is excelent. Build quality- god engine, bad suspensions, many bad solutions under the car Apperance - okey interior, exterior is great except from a bad paint job Fun Factor- incredible fun to drive, rwd ;)
