    E39 looks great, sounds great, only comes in a 6spd, and it’s actually pretty reliable (for a bmw) especially the 528i or 530i. Best bmw ever imo, I don’t think bmw will make another 5 series that looks as good as a e39

    I own a 2002 540i...fun to drive and handle on the road. Visibility eye to road ratio is amazing. You can see all around you. Got it in 2005 and still own it today 11/03/2020. I've done all the service myself without having to get it from any mechanic or dealer. They are fairly easy to work on if you are willing to buy the tools and learn how to fix it. If you want to take it to a mechanic or a dealer to fix it every time...this is not the car for you. If you do that you better be making at least 80k a year, cheap ass girlfriend, no kids, and no mortgage to worry about because this model will make you go broke AF faster than a speeding bullet. About $190 or more now an hour for labor plus parts. Because, just as fast as you made it to the party on it...it will start leaking as soon as you park because of the idiot driving you did on the way to the party...or wherever you go...cause they are fun to drive. Currently working on the chain tensioner since my chains started to rattle and if that does not fix the problem then the guides will need to be replaced and that is a fkn major fix I haven't done yet for an 18 year old car. Oh well fun times. Oh you can drive these in the rain at 90 miles an hour with good all weather tires and you can change lanes like nothing....not so well in the snow or ice....I went 147mph once at 3am. No cops no traffic. I got home in 5 minutes from downtown Dallas to Plano. While I was going that fast a black Murcielago out of nowhere passed me like nothing. BTW ...these cars are chick magnets. Post it Notes with telefone numbers will be thrown at you if you roll down the windows...maybe after this pandemic you get to experience that. BTW I am not selling mine since it is too easy to work on to give up for a super high tech full of problems new models.

    Kinda looks like a skyline with the headlights. That's my reason it looks so good from the front. I had a 02 540i and people always complimented me how well I made it look. It broke down at 210k with the timing chain rattling but got the kit for like 400 and once I replaced good as new again and ran up to 240k until I just sold it...BIG MISTAKE! I miss that damn car everyday and regret it. The exhaust note with a magnaflow shorty and the y resonator delete made it sound so good. I can't imagine how an m5 is.

It was owned by his dad since 2008 and he inherited it last year after his dad's passing. He needed some extra $ and when he mentioned that he was going to sell it I told him I'd buy it in a heart beat... Black on black, 14 year service history along with being in very good condition and at 114,XXX miles I paid $23,000 and didn't feel ripped off... at 6 months in, I'm $7,000 in but half of that is wheel and tires, the other half was mechanical...There's a short laundry list of things that need to be addressed but nothing major... Happy as a clam with my purchase.

    The “carbon build up” issue does not affect performance; it only means the catalytic converters don’t work as well on cold starts. It’s also improved in 01+ models.

      True, timing chain guides is a thing regardless of year of production but most likely to occur on VERY high milage cars, a friend of mine changed his at 180000 miles and they were prefect still. Vanos and to an extent rod bearings are the big ticket items.

      @@PowerslideSWE Vanos noises don’t cause performance issues, and it’s rare that it fails. Rod bearings are the killer. Change them every 150k or so.

      @@computiNATEor I didn't mean that Vanos is making noise, it does btw, they can however fail in quite alot of other ways and that will indeed cause issues , mine is currently stranded with as of yet un-diagnosed most likely vanos problems.

    I bought a used one of these with 20k on it in 2004, I ran it flat out until 2010 with nothing more than a couple of light bulb replacements. To this day it remains my favourite car ever. It was a beast, handled beautifully, seriously quick and gorgeous to look at, it's the only car I ever regret selling.

    I have been owning a E39 525i for 5 years now and i love it. Modified almost everything on it even to the point, that i fitted it with a M5 interior. But i still find myself looking for a M5 all the time... The thing is I am a student and cant afford an M, and i also know, that my M54B25 probably will last for ever...
    Maybe one day ill be able to afford both :)

    Anyone who doesn’t already own an E39. I own one and if you’re even a little picky with wheels and fitment, you’re going to need the hub bore custom drilled out to a 74.1mm so they fit on the E39! Just a heads up for anyone looking for one ❤️

    I owned one for 3 years. A beautiful LeMans Blue over Caramel extended leather example. It was a phenomenal car that performed up to the hype. Unfortunately it was also an expensive car to keep in pristine condition. Most of the expenses were replacement of every sensor that drives the ECU, chasing drive line vibrations and chasing what ended up being a bad throw out bearing. Once sorted it was a dream to drive, powerful, great sounding, comfortable, sharp, and classy. Almost every person that rode in the car stated that it had the nicest interior they had ever seen in a car.
    Ultimately the draw to a more nimble smaller car bit me. I bought a 2013 Mini S JCW. It was good but even more frighteningly expensive to maintain. The Naturally Aspirated engine called and I settled on the stellar e36 M3. Far more reliable and less expensive to maintain than either of the other two, with the added benefit of one of the best ballanced chassis any one has ever built.

    It amazes me how many people assume the timing chain guides are a problem on the S62 because it's a big problem on the M62. The timing chain setup is a far better dual row setup on the S62 compared to the M62. They do have plastic guides that wear, but far slower. There are very few reported cases of timing chain guide failure on S62s.
    Biggest key to owning an e39 M5, research the forums. M5board in particular is a great spot for info, good well researched info from people that actually own the cars.

    My second car 3+ years ownership with my second M5..... everything you said in the video is right for most part ☝️No guides and chains DOES NOT fail super early as to m62 engines, why ? We have a double chain, M5 e39 is worlds FIRST car to have angel eyes, Worlds fastest sedan at the time.... ☝️first V8 in the M car production car.... and the only car that came in stages from Dinan which is Stage 1,2,3........ ☝️also e39 M5 is most likely The most reliable car out of ALL M cars Ever built, No subframe issues, rod bearings, throttle actuators, vanos, chains and guides, smg pumps and clutch, valve seals, turbos and much more ! This is why people love it ! And if you want more more get a blower ( what I did) and done deal 650 hp e85 and your set!
