Considering early 5-series Touring

Hello all, I am looking for some feedback on early 5-series Touring (station
wagon) models. I am in the US, so I believe this would be 91-95 models? Either
525 or 530? I am looking to replace a 92 Volvo 740 Turbo wagon, which is a
great car but a bit of a truck to drive. Looking for something a bit more fun.
Better fuel economy would be a bonus as well, the Volvo only gets 20mpg when
driven with enthusiasm.

What are the things to watch out for with these cars? I would probably lean
toward the 525, though there is a very nice looking 530 on ebay at the moment.
I have noticed that a number of them advertsed for sale state that the dual
power sunroofs don't work - is this a common problem area? I would prefer no
sunroof but that seems quite rare. Also, where any manual transmission cars
sold in the US?

Thanks!
