@@lukezi3952 not really. New cars are, faster, safer, but are not better. Why? Because they will never last nor age as good as old cars. Built quality is terrible and they are made out of cheap materials no matter how expensive the car is. That is why I am gave my wife g30 and both myself e39 :)
523i is not a 2.3 liter engine but old generation of 2.5 liter engine and it has 170hp. After facelift it was changed to 520i 2.2l engine m54b22 with the same 170hp. If i remember correctly, 525i after facelift has 192 hp and it was 2.5L engine
I have owned a 528i and I still have 3 540i ,for reliability it's definitely the 528i but I don't believe that for the price value you can't beat the 540i compared to any vehicle, I truly believe it is the best car for the money on the planet, so if you can pick one up asap they will only be going up in value, Msport low mileage with log book that's been serviced regularly, you won't regret it.

Text book example how to “save the best for last..!!” E39 M5 is beast..
They sound incredible in compared to nowadays cars. Even the 520i. I had 4 different E39:s myself, did not remember they sounded that great!!
That's not the original exhaust obviously
The "sound" is much to loud. Why? Because not a single E39 is equipped with a stock exhaust.
Very nice video, thanks for taking the time to find the right videos with sound comparison also :)
Thanks for the feedback mate! ❤️
straight 6 engines have a fantastic sound.
I think your 530i acceleration is actually an E34 with the M60B30 V8. Definitely doesn’t sound like an M54
Judging from the gauge cluster it looks like its an E39 because the fuel consumption meter goes to 30l's while the E39 one is blanc
It's a v8 e39 I dont know the model, but you can see the rev limiter starts at 5800 rpm and not at 6100 rpm that the i6 have.
youre right, however the video used in this compilation also said it was a 530i which is also wrong
It’s for an m62b44 e39 540i originally

Alpina b10 v8 would stomp on these, and maybe the m5 for comfort
They are fast but 347 hp and auto will not blow any M5's out of the water any time soon.
@@PowerslideSWE The alpina b10 v8s produces 375bhp at 5800rpm vs the 395bhp at 6600rpm of the m5, but the v8s makes 10nm more torque than the m5 at the same rpm. There's very little in it tbh, but the Alpina wins for pure comfort and exclusivity. Auto vs manual is the core of the argument 😅
@@b.eduardo5105 The M5 in this vid has a full exhaust, video claims 430 hp, against 2 B10s, never the less that's a paddling, BUT the Alpina is faster than a stock M5 which is limited, and the Alpina is not, 2 stock cars are more eveny matched, M5 is 2 seconds faster to 200, not much. . ruclips.net/video/5XdI8FQD8cY/видео.html zeperfs.com/en/duel110-2835.htm

e39 530 acceleration is incorrect , its 4.4 video.
видео не с 530i а с V8 так как тахометр с 535 или 540
525 и 528 тоже одинаковые)

So can you make a 2.8 from a 2.3
the 530i and 540i also have the same video
