2002 BMW 520i (E39) Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review

[@dr.karelis2198]

i am a mercedes fan but this BMW model is the most beautiful car ever made

[@vato6815]

Im more on the e34 side

[@magg93]

This car holds up so well with even the most modern vehicles of today. Engineering masterpiece!

[@E39Source]

I am beyond impressed with this car. I wish more BMWs could see care like this 520i and my 2000 M5 have received. This is absolutely mint and a diamond in the rough of today's existing E39s. It's also wonderful to see an E39 optioned so well. M Sport, 66 wheels, PDC, sunshade, heated seats, etc. Let alone the fact that this car looks show-room fresh.

[@BMWReviews]

Thank you, I absolutely agree with you. This car is gold. I know the owner, he is very thorough and responsible. He has an e30 325i as well.

[@TheKRVR]

What an immaculate E39! I am so incredibly happy that someone has taken the time to preserve an i6 M Tech car. The owner should be very proud, and you should be proud for putting this video together so well! Perfect blend of facts and humor, well done!

[@BMWReviews]

Thanks very much, i will do my best to upload quality materials.

[@WillThePlank]

Is no one else going to talk about 6:15 or is it down to me? Gahhh damn!

[@BMWReviews]

+WillThePlank Tralala chocolate. For ding ding dongs

[@The619orton]

+WillThePlank i laugh so hard

[@testagiuseppeable]

That’s an easter egg

[@Ian-ij4of]

Great video, I have an e39 530i in similar condition to this vehicle, my engine runs quietly. Like a sowing machine...and has 137,000 miles on the odometer, I've had my car for nearly 3 years...absolutely love it. .

[@janreznak881]

This is one of the most well presented E39's I have seen. Well done to the owner.

[@andreas7027]

Wow, the condition of this car is AMAZING! Very nice video my friend!

[@BMWReviews]

Indeed.

[@ianhand5006]

An excellent example! I used to own an E34 520i and I loved it! My present car is an f30 LCI 320d.

[@Cardudes]

OMG! This one looks exactly like my dad's old 1999 520i 5 speed. I miss it so much!!!!!!!!

[@pvherr]

Without a doubt, the most beautiful bimmer ever!

[@hondacrx0]

It looks like a brand new car!! very very nice

[@lewis72]

Stunning colour & condition. I love it. I had an E39 528i, which was 'only' 193 bhp compared to this 520i's 170bhp, so not so far ahead. I'd love a 530i E39 to compliment the rest of my fleet.

[@soundseeker63]

but 206 lb/ft compared to 155...

[@Emslaender_Jung]

I have a pre facelift 520i from 97, right hand drive. Great reliable old beamer. I hope i can keep it as long as i live

[@BMWReviews]

derneuschooer Amen that. Good cars indeed. E39 for life.

[@cvetomirkostov4647]

One of the best depth reviews i've ever seen ! Full specs of the car.. and everything else.. nice video man !!!

[@BMWReviews]

Thanks Kostov

[@samersun3066]

my dream to have this car

[@iionkingstar9829]

Tony Brehaut . Its cheap man..

[@purolanpastori]

me too

[@slasha86]

you dream is very little

[@alinalinu1709]

@@limited3502 Yes.. you can buy one for even 500 Euro in running condition, but it's nowhere near as nice as this one. One like this is around 4-5k Euro (with the steering wheel in the correct position like the one in the video)

[@lucaa1278]

My Grandpa had one

[@cinemagun]

Awesome review! I have a clean stock titanium silver 03 E39 530i M Sport 135km Michelin PSS that I bought from a retired CEO last year. Stability is outstanding. Understated balanced performance, simply a pleasure to drive. Thanks for sharing yours.

[@BMWReviews]

+cinemagun thanks very much, good luck with your mint 530i.

[@eriksmithdrummer]

Amazing looking car! I own a 2003 520i M Sport in Titanium Silver which is also in awesome condition. It has 235/17 wheels front and 255/17 rear as standard. Great video and enjoy your car!

[@kilogram7388]

Very nice review thank you for it. I hope when I start working I will be able to buy one of these

[@ctamas27]

egyből hallottam hogy magyar vagy, de nagyon szépen végig mondtad és mutogattad én jobban élveztem angolul mint magyarul, és tényleg gyönyörű autó!

[@BMWReviews]

+Czibere Tomi köszönöm szépen. Majd még lesznek ilyenek.

[@jimbobrust]

I have just bought one The parking sensors are a bit dodgy but apart from that it’s an amazing car Good video btw

[@Lanpenn]

Fantastic car! I think this will be my first car! If it can be manual... even better! Thank you for the good subtitles, because I still learning English and I need to get used to hearing and reading... You earn more one subscriber! Greetings from Brazil.

[@dErHaRd23]

WOW. You uploaded this video on my birthday lol. I think this would be an amazing gift haha. Lovely car

[@BMWReviews]

Daniel Erhard Happy Birthday!

[@dErHaRd23]

Thanks! :)

[@Szecu]

Great review man

[@e46M3_DakarYellow]

Perfect example of e39 m pack, but where are the m pack seats?

[@thomaswilson2351]

+ΗΛΙΑΣ ΜΟΥΡΟΥΤΣΟΣ its a 520i, doesn't really need them its gonna be slow af

[@bugsy791]

+ΗΛΙΑΣ ΜΟΥΡΟΥΤΣΟΣ it was changed to ordinary seats. he said that in the video

[@thomaswilson2351]

i know but no point changing them back it's a very slow car

[@NightshifterDj]

The Milka moment was so unexpected, I had to stop the video cause I was laughing so hard! The review is amazing by the way! :D

[@kasimgilani3520]

Very good review my friend. Keep it up :)

[@davidhenderson7433]

very clean example of the best BMW ever made, just watch the hydraulic lifters on the 2.0 AKA 2.2 block

[@sverkere]

E39 - one of the best bimmers!

[@jimmyjimmy7532]

This really is a fantastic video. Never knew all 4 doors opened. How informative! Can you please make another video about walking? Is it true you put one foot in front of the other?

[@nickpapadelias815]

The 530 i. Is the true one anything else no competition.

[@Mycarisslow]

Haha love the song istrumental Be My loWer Lol kinda perfect song for this video, love all your videos man keep up whit good work ! :)

[@COLOMBUSKRISTOF]

Attól függetlenül, hogy idős AUTÓ, ennek ellenére én MÉGIS IMÁDOM !

[@tanker513]

I didn't know that it was an inline 6,nice review!

[@cobyworrell9073]

Nice car dude

[@MrPapierkorb714]

that unexpected song from Günther :D

[@TheBlooomberg]

Nice BMW dude, love the color! One question: Is it the stock exhaust? Greetings :)

[@BMWReviews]

+TheBlooomberg I think it is

[@OwenN98]

Do a full review of your touring please!

[@BMWReviews]

Okay.

[@theylive8256]

You touched my tralala! I'm dying 😂😂😂

[@AdamAus85]

Cheers for the video. Always been curious about the 520i. I don't think Australia officially got this model, but you do see the odd Japanese or British import show up down here.

[@hrvojekotnik6343]

And thats how you make video presentation of car, maybe something more about driveing experience. Candy bar is something speciall ;-)

[@omarkaraga1428]

Perfection!

[@tarekhattani4980]

Love BMW E39

[@soundseeker63]

That car looks almost new but is from 2002! E39 is most beautiful 5-series ever made.....but what has he done with the front sports seats!?

[@BMWReviews]

He has swapped the M-sport seats to standard ones to spare their condition. Interesting habit.

[@soundseeker63]

Hmm, good job he didn't take the same approach with the engine lol. Personally I'd just get a nice set of seat covers.

[@BMWReviews]

Well said.

[@MATKEMPOWER]

What about 8 series? bmw had 3,5,7 and 8 series at the time

[@emmelighemmeligg4698]

I have an e39 I´m trying to fix, but it´s automatic. I don´t know how to fix things myself so everything time consuming and advanced has to be done by someone else, but the car still drives well. It has some corrodation-problems but that will be fixed during the summer. I really hate how it´s automatic.. If it was manuel it would be a great first car and maybe one I´d never let go.

[@KrabDrwal]

Fuel consumption = 11.8 l / 100km :O

[@tudorachecristi3921]

i will buy one

[@alllifematter327]

I never Knew they had a 520😲😲

[@elvinxelilov4118]

I wanna buy this handsome car

[@wojtek_sanitarnik]

fuel consumption 5,5l highway hahahahahahahahaaaaaahhahahahahahaha combined 7 ahahahaha!!!

[@QuattroRMT]

+Wojciech Kozłowski yeah, that's ridiculous

[@wojtek_sanitarnik]

+QuattroRMT I have 320i '04 m54b22 I'm regular driver never driving aggressive. My fuel consumption is: summer: Highway at 100kmh - 7,6l City high traffic (Warsaw) - 9.8l Winter Highway at 100kmh - 7,9l City high traffic - 12.3l If you are aggressive behind the wheel this numbers going up easily (2-3l) Car is amazing imo. He likes gasoline but other things are just... freude am fahren :)

[@QuattroRMT]

Wojciech Kozłowski It likes gasoline but it also has some good specs :) and is very very comfortable

[@Jay350iV12]

I had one of these cars 520i 2,2 2001 and i can only confirm those numbers. I mean you can make it drink tha double of these, but you ARE able to gain such low numbers with AC on and still not holding up traffic, just give a bit more attention to economic driving...

[@adelachaudh2416]

It will allways be like that with and old naturally aspirated six-sylinder engine, hehe. You could perhaps check up on the diesel-version? It won't sound as nice but the ride and comfort will be the same? If they are in good condition they still ride so well. I remember the first time I rode one, it was hard to believe the car was 15 years old then. It had better comfort than most of the newer cars I've driven.

[@iulianbudusan8707]

9,5 l 100 km fuel consumption? Only if you rolling down from the hill and with the wind blowing from your back! Realistic consumption is about 15 l 100 km

[@dominikszymczyk6613]

There is absolutely no way you can achieve these numbers of fuel consumption. For my 2003 car with the same engine but touring version it is 6.7 highway (hardly touching the gas pedal), 12.5/14(summer/winter) city/town, about 10 combined. Which does not change the fact that it is a great car, though. Your video is very good, too. Maybe just a bit too optimistic:)

[@wojtek_sanitarnik]

This is weird that car has normal mirrors from classic version. M-paket ones have different mirrors! More square shaped

[@AndyViv]

Facelift / chip and its beast

[@BMWReviews]

andy viveen It's already facelift.

[@AndyViv]

Yeah I know but just saying

[@aquaboy1650]

Is that the Biarritz blue colors? btw i own the 520i e39 too, with 50K miles.

[@soundseeker63]

Topaz Blue

[@matthewcoupe393]

thats wrong, as this was a 02 model year they had the E46, E39, E38, Z3 and the X5 was new to showrooms... I love the videos you do reviewing models over than the top of the range its good keep it up... 👍

[@Mazotheman]

No he is not wrong. He is not talking about that specific car, but about e39's in general.

[@mattsbeamer]

They also had the Z3 and E31 in 1995 :)

[@bevaewi6]

Not yet led but looks bitchn. Love it.

[@BMWReviews]

I took this phrase from Gale Anne Hurd, producer of Aliens (1986)They made an iconic all time favourite movie from relatively low-budget money.

'Well, fuel consumption is wrong. More like 7liters on highway and 12liters during rush hour. Tough it depends on your driving style.

[@Jay350iV12]

[@DiogoCDSousa]

Wasn't already out in 2002 the e65 ?

[@DiogoCDSousa]

The development for the BMW E65 7 Series began in early 1996, and production specifications were frozen in January 1999. The design of the BMW E65 7 Series was patented 16 November 2000. The development ended in mid-2001. The car was first launched in Europe 17 November 2001 and then appeared in US and other markets in the spring of 2002. I guess you're lacking a bit of information. Hope it was usefull to you. You're welcome.

[@ManiacOnline86]

12.5 liters is the city consumption,duuuh,without ac on
