G'day people and thank you for letting me join your forum. At this stage I have not purchased my 525i but am looking forward to in the next week or so but this forum has helped me to buy the car since like a lot of people I had heard the bmw was expencive to maintain but thanks to you I see with a little help from you and if I am ready to get my hands dirty I could finally get one of the great drivers cars without having to empty my wallet. I am abut to get a 1995 525i with 190000km and in great condition ( small hole in the drivers side seat bolster and other than that like new inside) but I have tried the stomp test with no resault on the dash, the car is 11/95 biuld and I was wondering if this could be the newer version system that needs the reader to check the fault listing since the handbook does not show a check engine light on the dash but I might be wrong does anyone have a photo to shw me where it is. Pictures to come when I pick up the car.
