Had an BMW E39 530i manual 10 years ago before I got a Porsche 997S manual. Miss both cars everyday. Dream combo garage since both could be used everyday.
You mean the worst,these are known for transmission problems,sounds like a blow dryer when the transmission is bad,1980s bmw are the best ever,ones with the buggy lights
This was so pure and old-school I could feel the car through the video. That raw power and torque, that cluncky short gearbox, the sound...just awesome, this really is a great car!
When I saw the title I expected the car to be awesome, but not THIS awesome. This is an amazing car, that sound, and the power, you can feel it all through this video. And looking at the steering and shifting and handling on the road, it all looks so solid. You're lucky to have driven it. And much respect to the owner, may he forever take good care of this beautifull M5!
Never driven an E39 M5, I'm surprised how close the ratios in the gear box seem to be. Many semi-old german performance cars have looong gears. Very cool car. And definitely keep it manual.
High ratio gearboxes are great for high speed cruising, after all you should be able to do 200 km/h quietly and comfortably for a few hours at a time...
@@MrPizzaman09 That's fun for about x seconds... Drive through Germany, and you want a comfortable car, that will do those 200 km/h for hours. That's why old inline six Diesels with a big tank are so... attractive! You can get an e34 525rds with an M5 tank and that additional 10l from Alpina in Buchloe. You'll do 1700km easyly at 130 km/h or you can go 700km at 200 km/h.
That`s a realy nice M5, I was looking forward for you guys to do an E39 review, and this one is just great. Congrats to the Owner, coming from a E39 owner myself, one of the best sedans ever made.
Centrifugal superchargers are great at maintaining that “NA” feel. Root-type superchargers and turbo’s can take away that NA feel. Boost rises in direct proportion to revs as opposed to a surge in the midrange that trails off.
You are crazy - 280 on a double laned autobahn. I would sh## myself, cause some drivers do not look in the mirror before switching lanes. Watch yourself and be safe!
All that work and he put an e53 radio unit in it instead of a propper fitting e38/e39 radio unit, you can see it curving at the top at the left and right side by the trims, this unit is intended for the e53 x5 but still fits the e38 / e39, but makes the radio unit look out of place / unfinished.
The seating position was one of the few disappointments when I got my M5. I think it's the electric seats because my E39 wagon with manual seats seems to have much more range of adjustment, particularly when it comes to getting the seat lower. Some contemporary reviews of the E39 were describing the interior as 'like a fighter cockpit' and so on which didn't help with expectations, especially after having driven some more modern German cars!
@@Theonixco yes they're the sports seats, but I retrofitted manual sports seats in my wagon and they still go way lower. In the end I don't really mind it and tend to have the manual seats slightly higher anyway since I'm on the taller side
E39 is one of the best BMW ever made. The car is just timeless, beautiful.
Still looks modern today
E46: hold my beer
@@shabasnm E46 is trash compared to this
definetly not trash, just not as good. e46 is still a masterpiece@@noel478
The best BMW ever made, and this particular one is an absolute dream.

Have a new diesel Merc E class today. A great autobahn cruiser, but not screaming fun petrols like the others

Agree
@@courtneyprimo8056 Go back to your legos Courtney
That V8 Sound is amazing! Really like this weather to drive
The manual gearbox is part of its awesome character. Please show more of it
This was so pure and old-school I could feel the car through the video. That raw power and torque, that cluncky short gearbox, the sound...just awesome, this really is a great car!
And no pops n bangs too
this is a dream, probably the best car ever made by BMW
I love how healthy and perfectly the car just started when he turned on the ignition.
Get him new year 2022. Do you Have No Idea ?
I am interested in the car please how do I connect to u
I got 29x,xxx km on mine and after 6 months of standing over winter, it fires up like i parked it couple hours ago. Love it every time.

300 km/h on the Autobahn in an 600hp m5 with the dsc off and on semi slicks in the wet in the evening....man you're a legend.
By far the best M5 EVER and with the evolve supercharger kit, this is an absolute best!!
God bless you man.
Finally the long awaited car on this channel.
Absolutely Beautiful…. I would be happy with that single car for the rest of my life 😃🙏🎄
Me too!
E39 M5 and E46 M3 are timeless Legends..😍😍😍
The best M5! Beautiful car! Congrats! Perfect
That supercharged in aluminium or something its beautiful, gorgeous, i dont have words....its amazing, also the car...
Best 5 series ever made
My dream car. I hade a E39 528i once, lovely car.
e39 523i was my first ever car I bought. I think it’s still a beauty when I see this car in the streets
the absolute best e39 i've seen so far. UNBELIEVABLE
That M5 is one of the best looking sedans in history!
Awesome. E39 m5 my dream car,and best bmw ever made

Short gear ratios because the car is so fast, it just eats through them .

Def go cvt for best gas mileage.
I remember the owner saying changing the differential, not sure what ratios.
The best m5 ever💪🏽
when i think of m5 e39 comes in my mind such a legend machine
Both the exterior and the interior just looks immaculate. What a timeless piece of art this car is
one of most beautiful car in whole world
Nice to see a car with a supercharger rather than the common modern turbos😂
And the supercharger isn't as noisy as a toy car.
Yes the advantage of a centrifugal supercharger it isn’t as noisy as the twin screw or roots type with the whine.
Turbos are superior, lol.
A legend of a car! What an example
Well said.
How could i life without your oldschool tuned cars videos!!!!! Awesome Work Guys!
Your beautiful photography of those gauges makes me absolutely detest all of the new digital gauge screens.
Hat off.
The way that the car climbs up in speed is insane!
This is why i subscribed
That V8 rev limiter in first, man oh man...great video!
For me is the best car ever made ❤️
This car is perfection😍
The reaction this guy has due to the car alone is priceless, this is how a true sports car should be and what could be better than e39 🤩
A 2003 M3 with a AA Stage II Supercharger kit, also 620 Hp - my last car. This one seems a bit slow lol ;)
What a legend car
Beautiful looks, mental performance 🤘
This Car is a dream for many drivers 🤩🚀♥️
The colour and sound plus the speed its just incredible love the setup with the V8 🥰
He didnt even shift in the 6th gear. WHAT A BEAST
NOTHING beats the sound of a V8. FUCKING NOTHING! Fuck that car sounds amazing!
best car on this channel. E39 is love!
That exhaust is amazing
It's got a unique note... Very classy
Absolute menace of a car, it just goes. No question.
Spotted today! Incredible sound
I think this is the car I enjoyed the most on this channel.

Ya baby that’s what I’ve been waiting for😍
E39 m5 will explode in value !
That fitment is perfect.
the e39 5 series is by far one of the prettiest ones...
seriously consider buying a 530d
That sound is insane
Nice Hot Rod M5!!!! That E46 V10 sounded crazy especially with that DCT!!!!
What a wonderful car. Awesome engine
I had this M5 once but not supercharged....and I miss it Alot 😢
This guy has the best job in the world.
this might be the best non screachy v8 I've ever heard, has to go up against the old v8 vantage but it's wonderful
E39 ... the best BMW ever made !!!!!!
that breathing sound is incredible!
Immer die besten Videos
I love my E39!!
Great video💪👍.
Can you review a m50/m52/m54 turbo review? Would be dope🔥.
Уххх, любимый кузов среди пятёрок. Завораживающий дизайн и потрясающий звук восьми цилиндров
Even with the double glizing the sound is so cool
Am I the only who prefers the E39 sound over the E60 sound?
The Perfekt Autobahn car!
Man, that car is a dream car. A really dream car
Amazing pre-evening ride in BMW E39!
OLD SCHOOL THE BEST SCHOOL !
We all love u! More e39! Thanks 💪🏻
Amazing old BMW M5 😈
Thankyou thankyou thankyou for reviewing my favourite car albeit actually being the Alpina B10!
You are crazy - 280 on a double laned autobahn. I would sh## myself, cause some drivers do not look in the mirror before switching lanes. Watch yourself and be safe!
Я думаю это лучшая машина что была на канале. ❤🔥🏁
I love this car
So good! I love the e46/e39 chassis
All that work and he put an e53 radio unit in it instead of a propper fitting e38/e39 radio unit, you can see it curving at the top at the left and right side by the trims, this unit is intended for the e53 x5 but still fits the e38 / e39, but makes the radio unit look out of place / unfinished.
Great machine, seems super classy!
This thing is absolutely just insane
One of my favorite M cars.

I couldn't stop smiling 😍
BMW - POWER!!!
Shift is so powerfully!
Great Car & Nice video 👍 take care

The M5's I believe came with two options, sport seats and comfort seats that operated more like the E38's, were they the sport seats?
@@Theonixco yes they're the sports seats, but I retrofitted manual sports seats in my wagon and they still go way lower. In the end I don't really mind it and tend to have the manual seats slightly higher anyway since I'm on the taller side
I just appreciate the fact that it doesn't have that crackling/pops&bangs exhaust crap .
I hear you man those are annoying
Really great video. Kind of a unique, extremely cool car.
