ultimate driving machine goes down to mullet machine. Well BMW still has its qualities but the 2.5L I-6 drag ability isnt one of them.

The 2.5 it to honkin weak for the 5 series IMO. Now the 4.5 is a different story 🆒 I’ve driven both as well as 330ci and M3’s and the 525 has no place anywhere, it flat out stinks
