1993 BMW 525i – The Perfect Blend of Luxury and Driving Pleasure

If there’s one thing BMW mastered in the 1990s, it was the art of blending sportiness with luxury. And that’s exactly what the 1993 BMW 525i embodies. A car that not only represented the very essence of "Sheer Driving Pleasure," but also came packed with just about every feature available at the time – and maybe even a few extras that only the BMW board of directors had on their wish list.


🛠️ A spec sheet that leaves nothing to be desired

This particular 525i was built on February 15, 1993, and delivered in March of the same year. And judging by the options list, it was arguably the king of the E34 lineup:

✅ Automatic Stability Control (ASC)
✅ Electric windows front and rear
✅ Electric sunroof – perfect for sunny days
✅ Leather steering wheel & fine wood trim – elegance at its best
✅ Sport seats for driver & passenger – excellent lateral support
✅ Heated front seats – perfect for cold winter days
✅ Ski bag – for alpine adventures
✅ Auxiliary heating – say goodbye to icy mornings
✅ Air conditioning & Automatic air recirculation (AUC)
✅ Cruise control – for effortless long-distance travel
✅ Headlight washer system & fog lights – visibility in all weather
✅ On-board computer IV with remote control – 90s tech at its finest
✅ BMW Bavaria Cassette III & antenna diversity – nostalgia meets functionality


🔧 The legendary inline-six

Under the hood purrs the iconic M50B25 inline-six, delivering 192 hp through an automatic transmission – the perfect balance of refinement and performance. Not an overpowered brute, but a sophisticated athlete. The James Bond of six-cylinders, if you will.


🔧 Restored by BMW Classic – redefining perfection

Here’s the kicker: this 525i was restored by BMW Classic themselves in 2016/2017. And when BMW Classic gets involved, you can be sure the result is better than when it first left the factory.

The current owner acquired the car directly from BMW Classic in April 2017 with 98,000 km – quite possibly the best used-car purchase imaginable. Today, the car proudly displays 129,774 km on the odometer and wears the H license plate – a badge of honor for automotive classics.


✅ Conclusion: A true classic with a future

What does this mean for its next owner? A true youngtimer that’s unmatched in equipment, performance, and provenance. A car that doesn’t just drive – it celebrates its passengers. A piece of Bavarian engineering that proves luxury and driving pleasure go hand in hand.

💡 In short: if you’ve been looking for a car that offers the comfort of a business jet, the charm of a classic BMW, and the performance of a true driver’s car – here it is.
