Hi all Well yesterday i wrote off my E34 520 as i had a blow out as i was going around a roundabout in the wet, it shot off and hit the kerb at about 20mph so it it bend the susp, damaged 2 wheels and i guess a load of other things too.
I have been looking for another 5 series on ebay UK, i was due to drive to E Germany in a month so i need something quick, which gives me a week or so to make sure its upto the job
Anyway seen a auto 525 diesel. it says the gearbox is fine but with 'The automatic gearbox sometimes does not accelerate from rest/standstill if the transmission gets very hot.' He then says '
Q: is the auto box knackered???
11-Aug-06 A: No not at all. It accelerates and changes up and down plus kickdown etc fine. As I've stated, sometimes when things get very hot, it doesn't accelerate from rest in drive (when this happens, can creep along and build up speed, then it works fine again and will change and accelerate normally at speed etc).................... Never had a auto before, or a diesel, the car has full mot and owner says its drives perfect etc.Its a 95 525 M reg
BTW while i am still here
Can people tell me which versions to avoid, i was told (after i bought mine) to avoid a 520 but i was happy with it.
If anyone is wondering, the traffic cops saw a huge nail in the tyre that lost pressure quick, as it was the one underload going around the round about, they were fine as i wasnt speeding etc and all the tyres were like new etc.
many thanks
