1990-96 BMW 5-Series
Article Abstract:
Acceleration from Bayerische Motoren Werkes' (BMW) 1990-1996 535i models is brisk and passing power is impressive but the automatic transmission is not always responsive, changing gears too soon at times and being slow to downshift for passing. Handling is fluid and responsive, while stopping power is remarkable. Precise steering is accompanies by a sophisticated suspension system. These BMW models are thoughtfully designed and highly capable.

1992-98 BMW 325i/328i/323i
Article Abstract:
Acceleration is swift and smoother at higher engine speeds in Bayerische Motoren Werke's 1992-1998 325i, 328i and 323i models. However, earlier- year models suffered a shortage in low-end power until they revved past 3000 or more rpm. Performance is generally adequate with automatic transmission, but these cars are best enjoyed with the five-speed manual gearbox. Fuel economy averaged 20.4 mpg in a test of a 1992 model with manual shift.
