The BMW E39 5-series - the perfect mix of sport and luxury with timeless sedan proportions that would look just as good today as they did rolling off the showroom floor in 1996.
Thanks to Andrei and Max of www.europeanautohausco.com/ for letting me review this BMW E39 5-series. If you're into German cars, make sure you follow their Instagram @m_town_colorado

All those years later it still looks like an absolute beast of a car. Those wheels look super sexy as well.

im trying to find one that isnt ruined by aftermarket junk and it's a challenge

@AnthonyMichael504 Год назад

I love these e39s and i appreciate how everyone is starting to really admire these cars. I own a few of them. Literally love driving these over anything new produced today.

530i M-Sport 5MT here, I love these cars so damn much, currently redoing all the accessory pumps and everything on mine

@RCShowdown Год назад

My grandfather has a 528 E39 and let's me drive it - it's such a desirable car, I absolutely love it. It's fast, it's quite, it's luxurious - just a perfect combination. And even if you're driving 200 kph+ on the German Autobahn it still feels controllable! Great video, I absolutely agree with everything you said. :D

My first car was a 2002 530i optioned IMO in a near perfect spec. I was the 2nd owner and that car was basically perfection, a comfortable daily that looked awesome and drove even better. On my way home one day, a cougar ran in front of my car. I miss it so much especially now that it’s been gone a few years. My next car will hopefully be a e39 M5 🤞🏻

@MicroageHD 7 месяцев назад

Still have my 2002 530i, will never sell that car for sure :P

@leggenda47 Год назад

I want to add that the armrest can be lifted and have a small compartment in the euro spec, it's quite a common retrofit from e39 enthusiast in the us. And the lower dashboard is also thicker on the us version, due to bmw thinking that us drivers didn't always wear seatbelt, you are a tall guy and would be more comfortable in an euro e39 😉 good review it's been a pleasure to watch

@MrKemby13 2 месяца назад

I love my E39 530i. Bought it a year ago and I enjoy it every single day. I plan to fully restore it, luckily it's mostly asthetics (paint job, drivers leather seat, left rear curtain...). The mechanics are really good, I got no problems whatsoever. I installed an Android din2 radio and a rear cam (which is very handy with a car this big). Also got the M bumpers, just waiting for the summer to do the paint job and mount them on the car. I just love this car. No other car gives me this feeling and the smile on my face every time i turn it on :)

The E34 is great too. Very Bmw-ish, very german design. A small version of the E38 7-series, "the best sedan ever made"...😉

@Rocky-eb2ug Год назад

I think the E46 sedan, especially pre FL, deserves a video.

@76marcpalermino Год назад

I agree with you. That car is awesome. A wagon with the manual and a nice modern set of wheels would be 🔥

@Minto107 Год назад

It’s always been beautiful! E90 has some of E39s design elements like that line coming into the tail lights

The E39 is peak BMW - period. These cars are really coming into their own now and good ones are already hard to find. Snap this one up fast!

@andrewachholz7922 Год назад

Could not agree more. Design, Quality and a magic engine who nerver fails to make you fell good at any given moment of driving. Light years away from the synthetic driving experiences you get from modern Beemers.

@iksiX99 Год назад

Absolutely love this car. The E39, along with the E55 merc and Volvo 850 wagon, are my favorite car designs. I hope to see you cover and drive the 850 one day.

@Thesketchmonkey Год назад

If I can get my hands on an 850 I definitely will, a classic!

@ilmelangolo Год назад

Bmw 850 a beautiful classic too! 😜

@portermcsorley 2 месяца назад

My daily driver for the last 6 years has been a 2002 530i. It currently has 171k miles, and still drives beautifully. Mine has the M-sport package, but being a North American car, that only means black window trim, sport suspension, sport seats, and the 3 spoke steering wheel. No M-sport bumpers. I replaced my wood trim with European spec satin silver aluminum trim. It looks amazing combined with the black leather. I also have an android touchscreen radio that looks like the factory navigation system. Additionally, I installed the chrome beauty rings around the dials in the gauge cluster. Those three minor upgrades make the interior feel a decade younger. I also have the 17” BBS Style 5 two piece rims. (Best wheel option for the E39 in my opinion)

@davidparkin9017 Год назад

It is nearly automotive perfection. If it was rolling off the show room floor today, I'd give it an 8 speed automatic or a 6 speed manual. 3 litres is the perfect blend of fuel economy and power. Mine averages 24 mpg. It also has automatic headlights so you should put the switches all the way to the left and forget about it. I feel a bit more power ie: 250/225 would better it and 3 inches more wheelbase. Also, having the headunit/radio integrated into the dashboard is so much better than sticking on the top.

@vladislavdimitrov4646 Год назад

E46 330ci facelift would be interesting, basically the facelift the E46 M3 never had.

The recording's field of view turned out very good. Some creatives have a habit of pointing the camera solely at their face, disregarding the road and the interior that surrounds the driver.

0-60 is a tad over 5 seconds. Owned five of this exact model. These are my unicorns

@davidparkin9017 10 месяцев назад

Unmatched ergonomics. The nice spongy material of lower dash is soft enough to bump your knees. A modern interpretation of the e39 530i would have about 4 inches more wheelbase and a choice of six speed manual or eight speed automatic. With an integrated navigation screen, not sticking up in your face.

@Screaming-Trees 8 месяцев назад

In Australia the face lifted version of the car was basically the M5 body styling. They made the 530i indistinguishable from the M5 E39. They called it the M Sport version. That was the car that I had. And actually it was kind of hard to find anything else over there (other than M sport). But it was glorious. I think the suspension and steering were different from the regular car. All time favourite of mine. Wish I could have it back but they're almost impossible to find where I live now. Great overview though. Thanks.

@BlueWafer Месяц назад

Hello! M sport versions (there are 2 versions for normal models) had different shocks/springs and torsion bars. The steering rack was the same. The 2 versions are M Technik 1 and M Technik 2. The first one sits a bit higher and has a 25mm torsion bar, and the second one sits a bit lower and has 27mm torsion bar. The M Technik 2 is the most desirable one, byt sadly Sachs stopped producing the shocks, it's virtually impossible to find them new

I learned to drive in my father's 2000 E39 M5. I now own a 2017 G30 530i. The E39 and the G30 are the definitely the two best looking 5 series ever made.

@ronaldcollins3634 Год назад

I totally agree with you Re: Lower rpm Grunt European Horsepower v. American. I've owned 500hp American and 200hp European cars. European cars tend to be lighter thus are able to use lower HP/Torque more efficiently, in my opinion.

Fact: BMW was the first brand to use DRLs like this, but It has NEVER called them “Angel Eyes” (that’s very ordinary…). Halo lights or Corona rings are a more appropriate name for them (officially used by BMW, BTW).

Someone please correct me about the diff spec that came in the different variants!

Armrest doesn't have storage because this E39 was optioned with telephone from factory. E39's without telephone option have storage under it. It's shallow but it's there. Also this armrest can be extended forward

I was hoping to not ask and maybe at some point to find out that you did it already, but unfortunately it never happened... Thanks a lot for your dedication and this type of videos that you make 😊

The last of the great BMWs. My 1997 528i, actually made in Germany, is a pleasure to drive despite being 26 years old and having a very sad automatic transmission. Newer BMWs are not the same. The only thing more beautiful than an E39 is (maybe) an E38.

@jaynareynolds3684 7 месяцев назад

@@eaglerider94 bought mine almost 3 years ago. The seller's wife made him get rid of the car because it was sitting in the driveway taking up space and not being used. I bought it off Craigslist for the ridiculous and very odd price of $25.00! I figured I could make money selling it as a parts car. However, upon seeing the car, even with a flat tire and very dirty, I could see it was a steal. Had it towed home, put a battery in it, put air in the tires and it actually ran beautifully. Then I invested in tune-up, oil change and had it completely detailed. Bought a few inexpensive plastic replacement parts. No dents. No tears in the leather seats. Looks real good, runs smooth as silk and been driving it daily for nearly 3 years. I get alot of compliments from strangers, which is a plus I didn't expect! Hope you have a positive experience with your's when you get it!

That car really needs to be lowered. I've got Eibach Sportline springs and Bilstein B8 shocks in my E39 528i M Sport. It sits perfectly and rides beautifully, better handling with factory ride quality.

Even though I own an e39, I have an unpopular opinion: F90 is just a better e39, e60s kind of loose the identity of the 5 series, F10 comes closer from the front, the back is not as good, but F90 is literally just a modernized e39
