★★★☆☆

Good Points
Excellent automatic gearbox and great engine.

Bad Points
Very poor electric installations. Disappointing quality in relation to image and price.

General Comments
I bought the BMW 525d brand new and had a lot of problems during the first 2 years: twice the central locking system did not open, 3 times the original navigation system broke down, had to change the headlghts almost every month, the oil cooler leaked, the airbag system showed a malfunctioning due to bad connectors, the alarm lights could not be switched off after disarm the alarms ystem, radio still needs to be replaced and the extra heating system makes a strange noise and needs to be replaced. Currently one diesel injector of the engine is sometimes not working properly and therefore the engine does not run good statonary.

This was all repaired during the manufacturer guarantee, but gives a very bad feeling about the reliability of the BMW's.
