The E39 in my opinion is the best looking and timeless 5 Series ever built by BMW. The built quality is top notch and second to none. It's amazing how 20+ years car still turn heads anytime a well kept one passes by. It's indeed a masterpiece and deserves a top podium position in the BMW hall of fame.

[@Kyokushin4]

Its showing how good video tutorials was in past and how gracefull people looked - you can see especially watching the fragments with the lady. E39 is a great car - i had 528i 13 years ago. Functional, good lookin, and created mostly by engineers, not accounts.
