It’s actually a bit surprising how many E39 M5s there are out there that still have relatively low mileages, considering how long they have been out on the road. The example here isn’t one of those super-low mileage E39 M5s that we saw a couple of times late last year. But this one’s still got [...]

On this thread, you’ll find pictures of a couple of E39 M5s shod with RDSport RD2 wheels in the 19-inch size. The RD2 wheel is a 5-spoke model with widths that allow you to set up a staggered look on your car. As the original poster did say, this look with a fat rim at [...]

V8 Power Makes A Return In The Latest M5
Looking back on the philosophy of the BMW M5 (sports car performance in a business suit), one could argue that the latest iteration of BMW’s bully sedan is the logical successor to the much-loved E39 M5.

E39 M5 Drivetrain Underpins Classic E9 Restoration
E39 M5s on the road are now more and more becoming project or weekend cars and will in a number of years be called classics themselves. But not as classic as the 1970 CS and CSL coupes that are still pretty beautiful to look at after all these years. In 2011, German tuner MKO completed [...]

Technical Discussion On E39 M5 Turbocharging
Started around October of last year, this thread was started by a forum member who was looking for interest from E39 M5 owners about a twin turbo setup for the beasts.

Watching this short vid of an E39 M5 running against a hybrid M3 will have you wondering which car you’d like to have as a daily driver. There’s no mention if the E39 M5 has any mods, but the E36 M3 has an engine swap, that being the 3.2-liter S54 off an E46 M3. As [...]

E39 M5 Wheel Bearing Service Discussion
Something to watch out for when you perform do-it-yourself work on your E39 M5 is to make sure that you have the procedures and model-specific details down pat. Case in point is this guy who replaced his rotors and pads, only to discover that the left rear hub was wobbling. He even took videos to [...]

Stanced E39 M5 Looks Good
Although a large number of E39 M5 enthusiasts like seeing the car in its OEM form, it’s refreshing to see other owners taking their M5s in new directions in terms of alternate wheel fitments and looks. Take the case of this M5, which has been fitted with 19-inch wheels. Widths are 9.5-inch for the front [...]
