BMW - 5 Series - E39 - Video Handbook (2000) Video Handbook for the E39 BMW 5 series, for the North American market, but still relevant for the European models. "Enjoying your new 5 series, A guide to feautures and operation"
Greatest 5-series ever made, with lots of hidden features as I'm just finding out! Though I think this video was shot not in 2000 but 1998 or 99 the car has the M52 engine and earlier style lights.
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.
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.
@@swokestayconshus1329 wow, you sound nice, are you a teacher? Yes, it was a stupid thing to do watching this video at 1AM, but hoping he fails his exams?
its insane how much electronics and accessories there is in one of these i own one myself and did not now 75% of all that. :,), and they were extremely before their time, they still compete with some modern cars in comfort and such imo.
I love how true what the design director said about true beauty lasting for years. I parked my car and went to a shop today and when I came back, I saw it from across the road and I was like "Damn, that's a good looking car!".
I can remember when the E39 came out and you could hardly get one - my Dad bought a Calypso Red 523i SE in 1997 and it was easily the best car in its class - it even had the GSM car phone!
Got mine last month but travelled a few days later.. Cant wait to spend time with her. Meticulously maintained by the owner. Have done a bunch of maintenance stuff on her already. Drives like a dream.
Still driving my e39 530d from 2002, giving me joy each day. What a magnificent car BMW made back then, they never exceeded the Freude am Fahren after it.
Own a 1999 M sport auto 528i. 198000. Drives and looks like new. Everything works and stunning looking car. Best car I have ever owned, and I bought it in 2015. I love walking back to it when parked just so I get a good look. Never realised how all these buttons worked. Just amazing.
Hello, please tell me what is feeling when sit o New car in 99? How much change im driving feeli g after 20 years? Have problem with vibrations? Or feel maybe slover power engine? Best regards, owner 523i 99, buy as used in 2008.
I have a fully loaded 1998 e39 540i. Its original owner was a famous comedian and I'm only the second owner. Its the best car ever, had it for 12 years now and still haven't seen anything i'd replace it with. And this vid makes me wanna go out for a drive.............so see ya later!
I just got 1, although I've been wanting the Z4 for the longest time. In the end I'm so in love with my e39, that I'm no longer interested in the z4. I've never been in love with a car this much. I'm going to enjoy it for many years to come!
I know. She's wrong though I've had an E39 528i ('99 year) and have an E39 M5, (also '99 year), both of which could and can close all of the windows on the remote.
When he mentioned cup holders I immediately become worried if they're going to break in the video or if they will at least advice not to use them for drinks.
Thankfully the cup holders are an afterthought. The car is properly engineered.I have driven for 35 years,done nearly a million miles mainly in BMW'S but not ever had the urge to have a coffee in a car.Maybe the odd water,which there are door pockets for.
I need this car! Such a beauty. King of all BMW's this car at the time was way advanced and even still people want this car. If you have what it takes to maintain the car and if you are an Initial D fan who adores cars then yeah I say go for it... I'm defo gonna get this car when I'm older. I'll be the Keisuke of my town...

Best and last generation before BMW 5 series went to shit I have 03 530i with a 155K still kicking no engine or trans leaks, I’ve changed every part in the coolant system and the suspension all DIY from FCP as maintenance I got it with 98K 2 years ago I do a lot of highway miles and I love it, the only thing I hate about it is the both front window regulators I’ve changed them multiple times with after market parts and they keep failing almost every 2 months I ended up going to the dealership paying 385 for each side and ended up doing them in my driveway easy job been a year they didn’t fail. KNOCK ON WOOD.
I have a 1999 728i mint condition full bmw service history . And i still dont know all this . I found the limiter button in the glove box next to the torch ., I pressed it twice and the limiter is off it will do 160mph . changed everything now i love it .
I just have to take a minute to chuckle at the fact that a youtuber called Brit Car Vids uploaded a video where people with American accents about a German car lol
Don't think it's American. The English sounded more like a language of the world, since everyone can understand English. However, the presenters sounded very American. I prefer German presenters, and English in a German accent.
This video was definitely geared towards the US customer base. They only mention the 528i and 540i which were the only two versions sold here at that time.
Bought a used 525i in 2013. After 340 000 km on icy, salty pothole roads it starts getting in pretty bad shape. I mean, interior wise it still looks better than most new cars. Zero ratteling and except for some dead pixels everything works perfect. Anyhow, went on the market to look for a new car. Ended up with another E39!
@@adamchwiakowski3139 sadly no, I don't. Sold the last one a couple of weeks ago. Still love them though! Time will tell if I end up with another one, the option is not ruled out.
Hi all and thanks for posting this video,I own a 2003 last edition of the E39 My car is a 525d se (ES) in Clear water blue with matching grey leather interior, I did use it as a daily driver up until 2 years ago then decided to get another daily run around and use my E39 for summer use only And take it to a few classic car shows it's an M sport spec with rare 5 speed manual and silver trim inside not wood,pretty rare. My advise is buy one now and drive a real car.
