1997 BMW 5-Series Description

Excellent condition. Well maintained, adult owned and driven vehicle. By far the best highway cruiser I have ever owned and returns 24 mpg consistently on the highway. I was a long time E36 M3 owner. When I sold my M3, I immediately regretted not having a BMW. I found this vehicle as a worthy replacement from that late 90's period.The car is fast and fun. Any time I plan to take a highway trip, this is the car I take. That said, I missed the M car suspension. My new 2017 M2 has arrived so it is time to pass this outstanding BMW to another enthusiast who will appreciate and care for it.I have all maintenance records since new. Clean New York title in my name. Cleancarfax.
