I had like 6 5series from age 16-25... legendarily great and affordable. Every single one was a E39. I had 3 528i's, 2 540is and I still own my E39 M5 :) Its stored alongside a Jaguar E Type my Grandpa left me.
Hello! Im actually considering buying this Bmw with this particular diesel engine. now i have bmw f31 2.0 diesel 135 kw 2013 year. I mean its nice but i think E39 is more relaible and will make much more miles in the long run than my f31 from year 2013 wouldnt you think? Thanks for your answer 👍
I bought a e39 few months ago because I actually fell in love by the way it looks. I always wanted a v8 and the prices of v8 cars in Australia are expensive so I opted out on a 540i. Being a vw tech/ mechanic it’s a great learning curve to learn such amazing beast. Bought one really cheap but it puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel
Loved the video. I have an immaculatev1999 528I M sport auto. Drives and looks like new. Paid £1150 in 2015. 198000 miles now and no problems. Best car ever owned. Am 75 Christmas and am sure it will see me out. Great looking car with Angel lights. My son who is car savvy found it for me. I feel lucky every day. Suede interior and all specs work. Fitted LED interior lights and new battery. Nothing else. Son maintains it I pristine condition silver. He has placed top protection polish and it looks showroom. Feel so lucky. Interior as new.
I will concede that as a generation E39, E38, E46, E37 & E53 were the last of the best from BMW. Styling, engines, performance, handling and still fairly analog...
530d facelift here, sedan with m package and 5mt as well, 270k km, never broke down since i own it. reliable as hell and still a damn fast car, despite being 23 years old!
I’m 33 and have owned my e39 M since 2019, and driving it never gets old. A beast of a smooth saloon, symphonic speed, beauty… It has it all. I enjoyed watching your video + subbed. Thank you.
@@TrevorPhilips-q5h I haven't done DD on either of those models, but I have heard that the non-M trims of the E39 still make for very fine and fun cars to drive.
The E39 has also superior build quality which lasts very long and is very harmfull in servicing and repairing. Good engines, stable tech around this car, and last but not least his way how this car rises high speeds is legendary. That all are reasons why the E39 is so great and loved. Me too! 😊
About the 540i thing. The e34 already had a V8 with 286PS in 1992. So that doesnt make it special. The V8 was very reliable. The M5 truly is a good car
I have an update 535 M-Sport E39 (Dec 2000 build) which I purchase about 4 years ago here in Australia for A$7,500, in reasonable nick but needed a bit of work. It would have been nicer if I had been able to get my hands on a 540 but they still pull reasonable money in Oz. The 535 isn’t as quick but I understand you can work the 535 a little more. Main issues I’ve found so far have been 1) Light control Module has created some gremlins with lights (intermittent headlight and reverse light issues and remote locking). 2) Pixel issues with dash and radio (not an easy fix) 3) Some small oil leaks 4) Perished plastics which I have found hard or expensive to source I.E. MSport door sill plates - these are proving to be hugely expensive ($1,600 a set), windscreen Cowell panel (A$200), windscreen Cowell covers ($100). There are also a number of other plastic component I will need to replace moving forward but this is the price you pay for having an older classic vehicle. It’s worth noting most of the interior trim and plastics have held up well for a 24 year old car.😂
First car i bought, was 2014, got me a clean 03’ 530i 20% tint all the way around, 100k miles for 10k. Ever since i was a kid i wanted a bmw. I grew up as poor as they come. I own 5 vehicles, and still my beloved 530i. 170k miles, it’s going to be my son’s first car when he’s older. Less than 10 years and she still rips with the 3.0. My favorite car. It’s an auto trans, want to swap it with a 4.4 and manual trans
Been my daily since I turned 19, had a civic before. Nothing beats the e39. I see other cars. The e36,e46 and newer bimmers, however the e39 demands respect on the road. And they’re fairly uncommon to see. Underrated car that’s gonna go up in value.
I owned a BMW e39 3.0d 142kw A/T. Black mpacket with shiny orange angel eyes, black interior leather Big display android touch radio. Individual with double glass windows. What a beautiful and great car it was !!! I REGRET SELL THAT CAR TO THIS DAY !!!
Hey, may I ask how was the reliability of the auto tranny? I’m planning to get one, but I can’t find any MT only in tourings which I don’t really want because it’s too common in europe.
I am admittedly a BMW fanboy, and more of one when it comes to the E39 M5. This video does a fantastic job of representing how Juvenile ME would express my appreciation of the E39. Ive owned 3 E39 5 series, buut sadly never found the M5 that felt like it was worth the asking price.. I do currently own 3 5 series cars; a 2002 E39 540i 6MT, a 2010 E60 535i FBO (Est 400whp), and a 2016 FBO 535i (Et 400whp)... I might be the very definition of wut a fanboy is! FANTASTIC VOICEOVER @Mark Roden...
Drove an e39 540i Touring with manual(!!)) getrag6 transmission for a couple of years... best car I ever owned. Had to let it go when I got divorced ;) Fun fact: every e39 with 4.4 v8 actually made over 300hp on the dynamometer, had something to do with marketing (hp difference between the 840i and 850i)
My E39 M5 has over 200k kms, makes 440hp at the rears without forced induction. ANDDDD.... its on the original and stock timing chain. XD Truly, truly reliable. Electronics and interior buttons are fragile... but not the worst ive seen. And hoses in them wear out fast/split often. Vac lines included. Otherwise honestly very reliable.
I'm 26 and I just bought a 2003 E39 Touring MT with the diesel M47 motor, and I just keep loving it more every single day. The suspension is on par with any of today's S class or 7 series. Yes, it's not the fastest car on the road, but the torque of that motor is more than enough, and i'm averaging 4.5 - 5L/100km in this 21 year old car that weighs 1.7 tons (how crazy is that?????). It's the perfect car for road trips, the way the interior is designed (the seating, hand rest positions) is very well thought out. I put the 2nd row seats down, and I can easily sleep back there with a mattress. I'm gonna keep this car forever, and I intend to keep it on the road.
I have 530i and it’s my second “Sunday car” the ride, handling and quality is so unparalleled I’ll never sell it, even newer cars don’t feel as good and are much heavier and cheaper to touch
I clicked on this video to see my favourite car ever. Then saw people putting hydraulic drop kits on it and I'm done. How people find those good looking I'll never comprehend.
Was looking for this comment! All that "stance" and crazy camber shit looks freakin heinous!😖 Especially on one of the most beautiful automobiles ever made!😅
I have a 1 owner 525tds E39 with only 140k kilometers. Bought new by my grandparents in march 1999. One awesome car in the highway, not that much on road. The main problem is the 5 speed manual transmission, with a shorter range 6 speed would be great. Love the quality of the interior and the quietness.
Did you say the E39 has handling issues ? You gotta be kidding, handling is this car's best attributes, the M5 when it came out was putting to shame sports cars on the skidpad and on race tracks. The weight and wheelbase have nothing to do with it not entering any races, since BMW races the M6 Gt3, which is heavier and has a longer wheelbase than an E39 M5. They race Bentley Continentals that we know are very heavy. I can't think of reason on why it wasn't entered, but then again, I do not know the regulations of the day, in which class an M5 could've fit in order to race. There have been a few hot cars in history that could not race because there was no class for them to fit in.
Nice video bud. I am the lucky ovner of a near mint E39 M5, and i totally agree on it being one of the best (if not THE best) sedan ever. Even today, it feels fresh, tight and fast. Yet still analog and mechanically well connected to the driver.
I have a e39 touring. 2002 bmw 525i in titansilver metallic. If you are looking for something reliable, look into the e39. I beat on mine and put it through all this abuse at 217k miles and it still gets 25 mpg on the freeway. Trust me
I love the bricky old but newish oldschool look 😂 crazy how I gotta say that with the 39 even more the less its just a beautiful car even the headlights. Dont get me wrong youll have to change out almost everything but aye I love these cars
Slightly inaccurate information on weight. My 1997 528i has a curb weight of just 3450lb (1565kg) from factory. It’s actually very lightweight for a saloon car and handles quite well.
E39’s are excellent cars. Long time owner of M5’s I can say first hand they are perfect in original form, all you need is a pair of rear cans to better hear the engine. Sort of painful to watch the dropped and poked cars in this video bouncing along, you know the fenders are being damaged too. M5’s are not track cars, they are great GT cruisers. And recall it held the Cannonball run title for a while.
I’m happy you guys like the new editing style. I actually hired an editor for this vid and since the reception has been so good, I’ll most likely keep working w him for future “deep dives”. And yes I know I should try and get the other vids to this quality but it kinda cost a lot and I’m broke as hell man 😂 hopefully if his editing paired w my wonderfully handsome face and soothing voice brings up the views, I can start paying him to edit other vids. But in the meantime, lmk what other deep dives to do bc this one came out great imo. Thanks again guys, and pls don’t hit me a “I ain’t reading allat”
Great Job ! look man I dont want to be a dick or something but idk I kinda dont like this style of edtiting , just saying my opinion , if the others like it then stick with it but if not idk , I dont think you really have to pay for an editor , the old style isnt the best but it kinda fits the channel somehow, I reall enjoy your vids even tho the editing isnt the best lets be honest, I said my thing , do what you think is best dont just listen to one opinion
It's a solid look, for sure. But don't go broke, dude! 83K subs is great, and I bet you'll hit 100K before the end of the year, but pay yourself well. I love this deep dive, and will look into getting an old M5 for fun if I can trust it to be Reliable. But I also love when you talk about your cars and what you're doing with them, and that needs income. GL HF
I haven't watched you for about half a year now. You have improved much in editing and more, but 1 thing I would recommend you to improve is your Audio quality and volume, the music is more in the foreground and your voice is more in the backround, otherwise fantastic
I own a 1997 e39 540i, one of the funnest cars I have ever driven, I have it on coil overs and with a custom cat back exhaust, one of the best bmws ever made in my opinion. Would take another one of these over a newer gen m5 and day
As a 530i owner for 3 years, and over 300k km i did NOTHING past 3 years than oil changes. Just buy it and enjoy. The fact is its bit understeery and soft stock.
Does the e39 M5 handle poorly??? Not I'm my opinion. There's no easier care to predictably drift around a roundabout or any of the 90 degree turns on the way to my house. Simply the greatest car ever made!!!!
2 reasons why I disagree with the E39 being so great: 1) it had a porpoise influence, styled front-end (typical of late 90's/early 00's cars) 2) E38 being far cooler even to this day... The other thing for me is, placing emphasis on the performance model of a classic car is kinda like an oxymoron. i.e. its kinda embarrassing driving around in a car with 4 exhaust pipes when a modern hot-hatch can run circles around you... Cruising in a clean, all black E38 with hot wheels is just cool; and you don't need the performance model. You can pull-up at a club, Wall Street, girlfriend's house, a wedding in that and its respectable...
ive been privileged enough to have owned 2 of these dream machines, and i can hands down say that it does everything extremely well, no its not as fast as the e46 around a corner but it will destroy the m3 at every straight and its still as stable as the m3 in the corners, just not as fast. still though its still managing under 8 min around the nurburgring and its a fricking family saloon... do you really need that extra handling the m3 gives you? i can say with hands on experience from both the m3 and m5 that no. i would 100% choose the M5 every day of the week
Why did you not feature the 530i.? Arguably the best of the lesser models.!! The V8's showed themselves to be very costly maintenance wise whereas the M54 motor if maintained correctly was super reliable, handled better because of the rack & pinion steering & less weight over the front axle, and a top speed governed at 250 km/h.
Im 17 years old and i would absolutely love to have this car. In my opinion the E39 goes harder than 95% of modern bmws today
Send it dude it was my first car when i was 16 i still have it today
@@mikeonu1423 I wanted m5 e39 from back when i was kid(10-15years old) finnaly got mine before 5 days and im 24 now, best car ever...

Just make sure u know how to work on cars …
I think the M57D30 (the three liter diesel) deserved a mention among the engines they're really good and run forever if you take care of them
Best i6 diesels ever, maybe even better than om606
Correct me if am wrong but they never got them in the USA? , in e39's anyway

I just bought a 2003 e39 525i msport with 115k miles runs smooth . Going to enjoy building it .
My 540 handles pretty dam good! Granted it's not stock butt it doesn't take much for an e39 to be a hell of a corner carver.

Nice to see my movie with my car in someone material about the model! 😊 I really appreciate 😊 Greetings from Sweden 🫡
I’m happy you guys like the new editing style. I actually hired an editor for this vid and since the reception has been so good, I’ll most likely keep working w him for future “deep dives”. And yes I know I should try and get the other vids to this quality but it kinda cost a lot and I’m broke as hell man 😂 hopefully if his editing paired w my wonderfully handsome face and soothing voice brings up the views, I can start paying him to edit other vids. But in the meantime, lmk what other deep dives to do bc this one came out great imo. Thanks again guys, and pls don’t hit me a “I ain’t reading allat”
Great Job ! look man I dont want to be a dick or something but idk I kinda dont like this style of edtiting , just saying my opinion , if the others like it then stick with it but if not idk , I dont think you really have to pay for an editor , the old style isnt the best but it kinda fits the channel somehow, I reall enjoy your vids even tho the editing isnt the best lets be honest, I said my thing , do what you think is best dont just listen to one opinion
It's a solid look, for sure. But don't go broke, dude! 83K subs is great, and I bet you'll hit 100K before the end of the year, but pay yourself well. I love this deep dive, and will look into getting an old M5 for fun if I can trust it to be Reliable. But I also love when you talk about your cars and what you're doing with them, and that needs income. GL HF
nice intro mark legit 🔥👍
Thanks bro but an editor made it
Still love mine.
I haven't watched you for about half a year now. You have improved much in editing and more, but 1 thing I would recommend you to improve is your Audio quality and volume, the music is more in the foreground and your voice is more in the backround, otherwise fantastic
I didn't realise the American version was de limited as the M5 only did 155mph in Europe
I own a 1997 e39 540i, one of the funnest cars I have ever driven, I have it on coil overs and with a custom cat back exhaust, one of the best bmws ever made in my opinion. Would take another one of these over a newer gen m5 and day
Yes, your spot on right. I have a late model M5 and it does not even compare to the e39 I used to own.
I had the same. 540i
Fan rusted and ripped through the alu bonnet.
Living in Christchurch rotting away

BMW for life
Fire vid man 👌🤩
Ty bro
could you review the bmw 3 series 325ci m sport 1998-2005 model plss
Awesome video ! Thank you so much.. greetings from 🇸🇦
As a 530i owner for 3 years, and over 300k km i did NOTHING past 3 years than oil changes. Just buy it and enjoy. The fact is its bit understeery and soft stock.
Does the e39 M5 handle poorly??? Not I'm my opinion. There's no easier care to predictably drift around a roundabout or any of the 90 degree turns on the way to my house. Simply the greatest car ever made!!!!
You forgot to mention the canonball run in the e39 M5.
Very special car!
Great content
Do a similar video about the E38. Its a car worth doing.
2 reasons why I disagree with the E39 being so great:
1) it had a porpoise influence, styled front-end (typical of late 90's/early 00's cars)
2) E38 being far cooler even to this day...
The other thing for me is, placing emphasis on the performance model of a classic car is kinda like an oxymoron.
i.e. its kinda embarrassing driving around in a car with 4 exhaust pipes when a modern hot-hatch can run circles around you...
Cruising in a clean, all black E38 with hot wheels is just cool; and you don't need the performance model.
You can pull-up at a club, Wall Street, girlfriend's house, a wedding in that and its respectable...
ive been privileged enough to have owned 2 of these dream machines, and i can hands down say that it does everything extremely well, no its not as fast as the e46 around a corner but it will destroy the m3 at every straight and its still as stable as the m3 in the corners, just not as fast. still though its still managing under 8 min around the nurburgring and its a fricking family saloon... do you really need that extra handling the m3 gives you? i can say with hands on experience from both the m3 and m5 that no. i would 100% choose the M5 every day of the week
Why did you not feature the 530i.? Arguably the best of the lesser models.!! The V8's showed themselves to be very costly maintenance wise whereas the M54 motor if maintained correctly was super reliable, handled better because of the rack & pinion steering & less weight over the front axle, and a top speed governed at 250 km/h.
1:52 for the song
I wake up thinking I need an E39
dope car would love to have one but i can say from experience a honda accord can chop one on a twisty road
im thinking about getting a e39 523i with m kit and getting rid of my e90 n47
I love the E60 ❤
The greatest thing about it is I don't have to work on it.
