Here’s a nice thread to read through, as it takes the reader through the modification process of a beautiful and well-maintained E39 M5. Based in the UK, this right-hand drive 2001 M5 has wanted for nothing in terms of maintenance, getting OEM parts and fluids its entire life. So when the time came to give [...]

E39 M5 Burnout Impresses Even The Jaded
The E39 M5 on this clip doesn’t seem to be a stocker if the front openings are any indication. And the way this BMW M5 makes mincemeat of those wide meaty tires only serves as a reminder of how much torque that V8 puts out, even in stock form. Still though, nice E39 M5s are [...]

E39 M5 Lends Itself To Aggressive Or Classy Look
Attending the Import Alliance event in Atlanta, Georgia, this E39 M5 owner apparently didn’t have a very good experience as he grouses on this thread about Hondas and poor organization. Apparently, the venue could hold only 5,000 cars but he reports that the numbers exceeded 10,000. With that kind of number, an event will truly [...]

E39 M5 Transformed Into A Touring Version
Officially, there is only one E39 M5 Touring that was ever made. One guesses that it would not be too much of a stretch to do one if you’re the M division’s engineering director.

E39 M5 Transmission Options
The linked discussion below talks about the E39 M5’s transmission together with the various possibilities for replacing it. The original poster was asking if a 540 transmission would fit the S62 or if it had to be an M5-specific transmission.

E39 M5 Clip Shows Its Greatness
You might be dismayed to find this E39 M5 post talking about another exhaust setup but trust us, we view lots of videos and throw away a lot of stuff that is, plainly speaking, crap.

Another E39 M5 vs. BMW M3 Question
A current BMW M3 owner must have seen a really nice E39 M5, because he’s thrown a what if question to a Bimmer forum, asking for their opinions on whether to keep the M3 or swing for the E39 M5. Both these cars are fantastic cars but there are a lot of personal factors that [...]
