A beautiful BMW 525i sedan, Spotted in China in the remote Dongba area in east Beijing, seen here on a muddy parking lot. The good Bimmer was in very fine shape. The rare ‘Oxford Green Metallic’ paint looked very fresh, chrome shiny, noting broken or missing, and not a spat of rust in sight.

Sporty alloys are a period option.

The BMW 525i sat straight in the middle of the E34 line-up, with the 518i far below and the M5 far on top. The 5252i is powered by a 2.5 liter straight-six engine with an output of 192hp and 245nm. The engine is  indestructible and won’t need much maintenance, which is very convenient in China where parts and expertise for and on the E34 are limited to the max.
