BMW 518
(1974 - 1984)
Car articles about BMW 518 by year
Instead of the technically possible upward expansion of the 520/525 model series (to a 528 or 530), the new BMW 518 appeared from June 1974 as a downward adjustment in response to the sharp rise in operating costs and car prices. This historical test report takes a close look at the economy model.
The BMW 518 as the basic model of the 5 Series was well received from mid-1974. The 1976 facelift, which included the switch from premium to regular fuel, was intended to make it even more attractive. How did the new '76 model differ from the original 518 and could the facelift even raise it to Mercedes 200 level? The test from back then provided answers to these questions.
