The E39 is a very lovely car, wonderfully styled. I remembered when the E39 was released i was looking at photos of it for days, reading and re-reading the brochure for no apparent reason. I liked the interior design very much, and having sat inside my friends 2003 blue 525i (E39) I can say the interior fit and finish, and the material quality is very high the current E60 cannot match it at all.
