New and Used BMW 525i for Sale Philippines 2017
The BMW 525i was once the most popular third generation car in the BMW 5 Series in the world. Smooth, solid, and reliable, this car’s powerful built, adequate high end power, and good handling is a must for anyone who wants to own a used, classic car that performs just as well as any other car sold in the market today.
When the carmakers launched the BMW 5 Series, many complained that it had some performance hits and misses that needed some revamping. So when BMW introduced the 525i model as part of the third generation (E34 generation) of BMW’s 5 Series, they hit the jackpot – and it seemed that the third time was definitely a charm for this popular German luxury car maker. There were many firsts in the third generation models. The E34 line was the first of the 5 Series to offer the wagon (estate) body style to the public. It also introduced adjustable damping, 6-speed manual transmission, traction control, and stability control in the series. The 525iX model was also the first to have an all-wheel drive and V8 engine.
Sadly, it has been replaced by other BMW models in the 5 Series, which is now in its sixth generation. The BMW Series has also took off, with many car critics often touting it as a benchmark and undisputed car leader in the executive saloon market. However, those who would like to own a 525i model today can still buy a 2nd hand BMW 525i for sale in the Philippines. Today, the BMW 5 Series is rivalled by top car giants, such as the Mercedes-Benz E Class, Jaguar XF, Audi A6, and Maserati Quattroporte.
