BMW 5 Series E39
In Germany, dynamics lovers once chose the BMW 5 Series (E39) as a sophisticated company car. Its silky-smooth yet durable six-cylinder engine, excellent build quality, finely tuned suspension and wide range of options are good reasons to be enthusiastic about this everyday young-timer. The practical station wagon (Touring) is noticeably more expensive than the sedan. The M Sport package in the style of the M5 further increases the price. Even the 523i is sufficiently well-engineered, while the 530i is really quite fast. The diesel models have outdated emissions standards. Good V8 models and M5 models require significant financial resources. Typical problems include incomplete service histories and tuning modifications, cooling system problems, oil leaks, worn suspension mounts, electrical system damage and rust on the edges and sills.
