Product Overview

BMW 5 Series E39 is a premium executive sedan in production from 1995 to 2000, whereupon it receive a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-6 and V8 engines that displaced 2.0 to 4.4 liters.
Owners will probably be drawn to the M62 naturally-aspirated V8s, particularly the 4.4L variant found in the 540i. However, these were not the most reliable engines that BMW had ever made. In contrast, the M52 I6s tend to have a much better reputation.
As this was the beginning of diesel craze in the EU, BMW only offered the 525td and 525tds, which were lackluster.
The E39 is till this day loved by many for its classy yet sporty design, though some prefer the facelifted model without the black moldings better. Obviously, the M5 was the ultimate choice.
