BMW M5 (E39)








 
The E39-gen BMW M5 is the third generation of BMW's iconic super sedan. It was produced from 1999 to 2003 and is powered by a 4.9-liter S62 V8 with 394 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque paired to a six-speed manual. The E39 M5 can launch from zero to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds and can reach a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph. It is also the first M5 to offer a V8 and feature aluminum parts in its front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. The E39 M5's interior has been designed and constructed very well, containing a few oddball aspects here and there. Roughly 20,000 E39 M5s were built during its production run. It has appreciated in value more recently, with the first example featured in this post (in gray) currently for sale at almost $70,000 and the second example (in silver) also currently for sale at around $37,000. Overall, the E39-gen BMW M5 is a rather subtle yet stunning and impressive performance sedan. In addition, the late 90s to early 2000s M5 is cooler and better than at least 80 percent of all other BMW models.
