There will never be another car like the E39 M5. It will forever be known as the King of the road.

Hands down the E39 M5 is the best out of all the M5. It is the last of the properly built old school BMW. This car is a masterpiece my dream car along with the Audi Quattro from the eightes rally cars. I am on my second E39, first one i had for seven years. Super reliable bullet proof engine and gearbox. They really don't make them like this anymore. Mid nineties to the early 2000, s BMW could do no wrong with the cars they were producing. I will own an E39 M5 one day phenomenal car amazing engine sound. These cars are going up in value, love these cars to bits.

Great video. I have owned mine for 16 odd years now and i still love it as much now as I did when I first got it.
Evolve have worked their magic on it so for me its now better than standard.

Clearly the greatest Car of all time! I have owned 4 E39's and have yet to own an M5.. BUT, I do own a 2002 E39 540i 6MT and it is on the edge of FUN and Scary at the same damn time. I plan to upgrade what I can on it to M5 components and attempt to make it as good.. I will own an M5 one day, but it will prob be the F10 version since I own the E39 540i. Your enthusiasm is uplifting, thanks for sharing your passion with us.

Mega car. What a presence this has. Good review man 😊

E60 M5 is an upgraded E39 M5.
Same chassis design.
The advantage of the E39 is that has the best compromise of wheelbase and body width/length. It s bigger than the magnificient E46 M3 and smaller than the legendary E60 M5.

This is the most underrated best Youtube channel i've ever seen in my entire life. That's so sad :(

[eliotbuffoni]

Some great camera work in this, big eye candy 😍

I was at a clients house today. He is an original owner of an M5 from 2000. 50k miles on the dash. Sitting in the garage on trickle charger. Immaculate.

I really like the mv10. Revs so beautifully

[satoshinakamoto]

For me, its the E28, follwed by the E34 & then E39. All three cars are in a league of their own

[QuZr]

I've owned one since 2009 - not planning to sell, lol :)

[tinorosmg]

I generally think all m cars have same legacy, there is no better than another, they are all legendary

[sg.o]

I own a le-mans blue 2002 with matching interior. I doubt i will ever sell it.

[keithronson]

Yep. For sure You Love BMW! I get it. BMW for those that know. Excellent review, with added passion! 👍👍.
Sorry for me, the current M5 Competition has to be nigh on perfect. The CS is a supercar " crusher". Amazing. Future classic. ( Let you off the ironic Trump comment! 🤔)

[lewis]

I've got an E39 M5 and I've had it for over 10 years now.
Although it is a great car, there are a few others that give me more of a feel-good factor.

[countjobula]

holy crap. those wheels are better than stock! (as in, stock e39 m5 wheels are IMO perfect)

[gintseine]

Love the interior. The lighting inside is just great. Last one of BMW with interior i like. Next ones aint just that. Not bad, but not it.

[amybella]

Finally someone that said the proper tagline for bmw "The Ultimate Driving Machine" which later turned too "Sheer driving pleasure"

[ernestolopez]

I have 1… I wish I could attach a pic… great video.
