I had an 02 M5 as a daily driver for three years. It was a stunning combination of LeMans Blue over Caramel extended leather. Purchased it with 69k miles in it and put 45k miles on in three years. It did everything, daily drives, long trips, autocross, and winter beater. Absolutely an engaging drive and an intoxicating soundtrack with the perfect blend of luxury and sport. Being a young guy into autocross, I eventually turned to it's stablemate, the e36 M3. I love that even more as the inline 6 begs to be revved and it is still driveable in all situations. BMW was at the peak of their game in the 90s and early 00s.

@stuntvist19 күн бұрын
The 6 cyl ones have better steering too because they got rack and pinion unlike the V8's. Plus they're super reliable, especially the 530d with the iron block M57, million miles easy if you take care of it. Plus we euros got the alu block M52, which you can just slap reground M54 cams, M54 crank, M57 rods, and a turbo on to make some cheap reliable 500hp. You could take it to the extremes and make over a 1000 on them, probably on the stock cranks if you don't go past 7500 RPM to do it, but if you balance it for higher RPM it'll glady do that too. Super capable and reliable stuff in the right hands. Also the suspension is like anti-Ford for that era. Ford's then were super stiff and still had loads of body roll, E39's are super soft yet have almost no body roll in the same scenarios. Extremely comfortable while not becoming unpredictable when pushed. Very well engineered for something that's as big as a new 3 series and targeting roughly the same price class as a new 3 series.

i bought my E39 M5 5 years ago when i was 23 i felt in love with that car when i was playing Need For Speed High Stakes and Hot Pursuit 2 as a kid. Growing up with my dad owning an E30 325i and an E36 323i i had always the wish for going for a BMW. At the right time when i was in the position to buy one i pulled the trigger and got myself a 99` in Antrazit Grau. Luckily living in Germany i am able to have a blast with it on the Autobahn hitting top speed on unrestricted sections and i even took it on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. At that time it was my first BMW overkill for someone who has never driven a still high horsepower rwd car but it was always my childhood dream to own one and probably the only car i am never going to sell.

I was working at the dealership when these were introduced. They would have me take out prospective customer and "show them what it will do." Having Carte Blanche like that was wonderful so the first thing I would do would be to turn off the traction control. Yeehaaa! As these cars aged there were a ton of issues with clutch and vanos problems so many were sold needing help instead of getting fixed. Plus, people ran the crap out of them. They have the usual E39 problems like busted plastic seat surrounds and pixelated dash displays plus I always preferred the ones without nav display as they don't look so dated now. I sold my last BMW (93 M5) last year after 31 years of having one in the driveway. Just don't care for the new offerings and BMW has made it very expensive to maintain a "classic." The E39 M5 is a great car if it's been maintained properly and now is old enough that most of the early problems have already been addressed at some point.

Now, I know I shouldn't be saying this but it's TRUE, If you cannot afford an M5 that much, people would FLOCK to the 540i M sport, and covert it to manual too. Or look for a manual one. Because it's the 'near' M5. Even a channel called Prepetunal Radio Networks made a video with the EXACT same name, and its been up for some time, blame him for making prices go up on those too.

This was BMW’s era of absolute perfection. The styling and handling haven’t been replicated since. You say “inspires confidence”, and that’s an understatement… I had a 2001 325xi wagon, and it was so stable in turns at speed that I shredded sidewalls on Nokians (twice). If a curve sign said 35mph, I knew I could do almost 70. No complicated infotainment, no flash, analog gauges, no touch screens, no iDrive, a bump shift that actually worked, direct analog steering, a responsive slant six, and timeless styling… I should’ve never have sold it.

Well, Sabine said the e34 ring taxi drove more like a racecar than the others Of course the e39 has more power , torque, is more comfortable, or bmw would not have released it as an evolution of the previous model The feel of the car is a lot different. E34 is lighter, smaller, has to rev more, is better on twisties, fun at lower speeds. E39 bigger, heavier, more torque at lower revs, a train, and better on the open road, more fun at higher speeds. Both good, but twisties are e34/e30 territory

If I could have a brand new version any car released in my lifetime(49y/o), It would be an E39 BMW M5. I wouldn’t even have to think twice. It’s as perfect of a car one will ever find. It’s right at the tail end of great mechanical tech just before it got bogged down with electronic/computer tech for the most part. An absolutely gorgeous design without feeling it’s unnecessarily ostentatious. Perfect for a road trip. Perfect for track. Basically looks like an ordinary four-door sedan. But you can stomp the vast majority of cars which would pull up next to you at a light. Just absolute perfection.

Those BMW films were SO entertaining. Maybe you guys can do a special on the E39's competitor - the W210 E55. As classic but even more affordable.

@commentator2.03 жыл бұрын
@Mr Calcium I know you meant M5 but I don’t understand how you think the E60 V10 is flashy. The E46 M3 S54 screams vs the M54 by comparison. And by styling all M cars are sporty and classy. The E39 M5 is still easily distinguishable from other E39.

E39 M5 in alpine white with caramel interior 🔥 my favorite car I’ve ever owned or driven. There’s something magical about this formula - just the right amount of understated classic styling, practicality, and of course a torquey v8 w/ a six speed. Perfection.
