BMW 5-Series Saloon (2003 - 2010) 525d SE 4d Owner Review

Great to drive, firm suspension but comfortable. I have a spare set of winter wheels which make a huge difference in snowy weather. I had the inlet manifold Swirl Flaps removed by a BMW independent specialist (BMW franchise dealers are not allowed by BMW to do this) to ensure that they do not collapse a destroy the engine. The car runs just as well without them, no noticeable difference in performance. Hoping to do 250,000 miles before I change the car.
