Sure is still a very handsome car!
If I were to have to buy a M5 right now from any generation I would buy a interlegos blue E39 M5. Sure the new M5 is the better newer faster car but i dont care i just want an E39

I have a facelifted 530d Touring (with Celis LED, etc) in the family. While it still looks very good inside out, the driving dinamics are somewhat dated anno 2007. The E60 is much, much better. And lighter I believe.

I briefly thought about one of these a few years ago, a 530i Sport. I just how remember how fun it was to drive.

Very true, my friend... I used to own 1998 523iA with 170hp, manual. That was a fun to drive... Even more than my current 535d... I guess that was mainly due to manual...

Yep this particular 5-Series was far more dominant in comparos than the current one, only losing one contest in U.S. mags over its run if I remember correctly.

its just a shame E39 is a popular pizzaracer in Sweden, many of them are modified with spoilers and wings and looks like crap.

The E39 was many times said to be the best car in the world, because it was a perfect combination of sporty character, comfort and everyday-usability.
