Fan Belt, Central locking, air con needs re gassing. hard to start in the cold. cracked dash.
The car is slow unless really revved hard. comford it great. fuel consumption is average for a 6 cyc. looks good.

Great car for its time
Radiator leaks.
Water pump problems.
Poor fuel economy.
Dash stopped working- lights and odometer.
Engine wear quickly with frequent oil changes, and if poor quality products are used.
Transmission issues- seal converter.
A/C works poorly when thick motor oil is used e.g. above 15W40.
Great comfort and stable at 140 km/h.
Excellent for city driving.
Reliable, but many mechanics have poor understanding of these cars and can easily stuff up.
Would buy another E28 provided its in good condition and serviced on time.
Excellent performance when high quality products are used- revs like crazy.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I don't see any reason why the writer gave it a bad review. All the things you mention are normal wear and tear. They are very minor issues for a 25 plus yr old car!! Please be fair to the BMW.
