The E39 M5 was the third generation of the M5 and was based on the BMW 5 Series of the E39 generation. It was developed in response to the growing demand for high-performance sedans and represented a perfect combination of everyday usability and sporty performance. The E39 M5 was the first M5 to be equipped with a V8 engine, which was a significant step in the development of the M models. The 5-liter V8 engine produced 400 hp and a maximum torque of 500 Nm. This enabled impressive acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds. The chassis of the E39 M5 was designed for sporty performance, with a special M suspension and an active differential that ensured optimum traction.
The E39 M5 had an elegant yet aggressive design that emphasized the car’s sporty genes. The wider fenders and the characteristic M elements made it instantly recognizable. Advanced technologies included a high-quality sound system, a navigation system and various driving assistance systems that were innovative for the time. The E39 M5 is known for its precise handling and excellent road holding, which made it a popular vehicle on the racetrack and in everyday life.
Overall, the BMW E39 M5 is a masterpiece of engineering and remains a coveted collector’s item for many car enthusiasts.
