Hey guys! This is my new channel where I go over strictly gta online content: https://youtube.com/@giggity280
If you’re interested in gta online, please go check it out!!
BMW fandom is TOXIC AF, seriously one of the worst. Electric/tesla fandom may be the only thing worse. I love BMWs but kinda hate BMW people.
Amazing handling car all around, straight line and cornering, most were open diff so dont drift as well stock.
Never AWD,
Dog shit cupholders, better iff wothout them
the v8 is very reliable for a german v8, but way less than an American v8
It is the easiest german car to work on.
Spinning out is a skill issue not a car issue.
Timing chain guides on the v8 is a well known issue, if they have been done then the car is good, if not then its a gamble. If the 540 is vanos equipt that is also a failure point.
Sounds like a hater,,,,e39 is one of the best…wtf. this channel sucksss🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
Screw e39 cup holders mine are doodoo lol
photo is from my country 🙂
"also poor people are just jerks, idk why" 8:30
cup holders? wtf are you talking about 6:52
4:28 e39 doesnt handle that great? what are you talking about
Straight slander to call all v8 German engines unreliable as if the m113 doesn’t exist and others alike
Diesel
Hey, can u tell me about e39 530d? Is it good? Im scared to get it and regret my buy
bro talkin about some sht but never owned or driven an e39
You have to keep on top of faults diligently pipes gaskets pumps are all now prone to failure even on lightly driven cars .Neglect at your😮 peril
What is a dead give away that it is a m car?
I own both

Here's the top quality from these 2000 sturdy S62 engines
The only down side
I don't trust Recirculating steering
It feels like an old sedan de ville 1980's Cadillac
Not the sharp sedan handling from 530i
Always!!!! Do cover these cars! Keep them
Protected from heat/ elements.
Oh! The Keyfob
I learned after 3 times
23 years dropping my keys Fkit!
Well a bad bad thing occurred
I literally gave the 530i a freaking lobotomy
So I had the non working 530i key on the same Key ring along with the Working Key's inner battery which belongs to Mr.M5 both spares together
I know I stuck the 530i no battery spare key in the ignition to turn it on. The Proximity of the 530i outer ignition ring who detects the actual car'skey
Apparently again due to the Proximity" it read the info from
Mr M5's spare key
It scramble my 530i
Didn't want to start
Thanks God I had my scanner & reprogrammed it.
Never ever place these
Together"" near ignition outter ring
Look up hawk tuhaa girl 2024 🔥
Common rust points: Jack points, Under Gas cap, Rear arches, bottom of doors.
The LCD display going out is´t a huge issue. The problem is a cable going loose due to poor design. A handy guy could fix this for 10$. If you go to a shop. they might take 100-200$. Not bad.
E39 540xi would be an intresting car if it existed. e39 where never awd.
e39 cupholder? IF they came with a cupholder back in 2000, there probably broken many years back.
You mentioned "The lower the trim level, the more reliable" This is not true at all, I've heard from countless of BMW enthusiasts that higher trim levels are often more reliable. And BMW's 4 cylinder cars are some of the worst engines to exist, since they pretty much always start leaking oil and mess up. While the 6 cylinders often hold up waaay better
Harmnone background music
There is alot of misinformation here, actually 520i is a 2.2liter engine with 170hp, they never had awd as well.
Excellent Presentation! Yes I have the 2003 530-II ! Still runs Great!!
A poor analysis of one of the iconic BMWs, one of the best of all time.
The E39 was actually built until 2004 in its Touring form. The trim levels were SE, Sport, Individual, M, engine options WERE NOT trim levels. Nor were there any AWD versions on an E39. Basic analysis failures.
There were inline 6s from 520i to 530i petrol models and a 540i V8 petrol. Of course people from the USA miss that there were 3 diesels including the the 525d and 530d M57 engined turbo diesels.
The 530d in its facelift form has better performance than the 525i and the 530i only slighty shades the 530d, except in acceleration from 40 mph where the 530d is vastly superior due to its max torque delivery from 1750 to 4000 rpm.
The handling is a bench mark for other cars.
If properly maintained they are generally reliable and don't leak particularly the M57 525d & 530d engine models.
A realy rubbish analysis.
m5 was only manual
The Good:
-Nice vid clips
The Bad:
-missed an obvious ugly, which is 540 timing chain guides
-missed some very interesting facts of this car, including:
—-the I6 models were the first mass produced car with all aluminum suspension components and subframes…even the knuckles are aluminum
—-Rumored that BMW spent more time and money developing this car than any other model they've ever made
—-The multi-link rear suspension design was a huge step forward and still used in same basic configuration on current models 30 years later
—-Many automakers still continue to use this car for benchmarking ride and handling as part of product development
-terrible towel
The Ugly:
-e39 never had X drive! Cmon dude research harder
-Didn't have great handling?? See points above about aluminum for lower unsprung mass and revolutionary rear suspension design
The ring footage in this vid was something. that guy sucked at driving lmao
They put a tape in the headlights to look more “angry” ?
This guy knows nothing. The 2.5 L engine is 170bhp not 192. E39 and most BMW are famous for drifting and cornering. Handling is best of any car. There was no 2.3L engine so the x23s got 2.5L instead. Great car glad to see a video about E39.
You sound luke virgin talking about dating…. Font know anything yet so font give advices yet
The cup holders are famously horrible. Calling them nice is just dishonest.
Got one years back and it expoded but was a blast straight pipe off the limiter probly caused death lol was 18 🎉
bro has beef with m57
Do an e92 plz
E39 doesnt have xdrive, its only rwd. Why didnt you mention the m57 diesel ones, they smoke every gas engine in the e39, big turbo downpipe remap easy takes the m5.
Nothing wrong with rear diff. Same as a e46. Is the large 210 lsd in the m5 best? Yes. But diffs dont break lol
Rule numero uno : fix it as it breaks dont build up a catalogue
Number 2 keep at least 1k aside for emergency action
I've read some good things about the MPG on forums, even for the V8's. If you can keep your foot out of it, some have gotten high 20s even out their M5s. Keep it on cruise control around 70 on the hwy and supposedly you can average 27mpg.
an E60 version of this video
AWD wtf? It dont hawe that
bruv you are a city boy calm down buy one and drive it then start talking.
The e39 doesn't handle great? Aight.
Lying out your ass about the cup holders
“Just tell the wife that it’s significantly more reliable than it actually is” you got me there bro😂
Epic video, looking to go buy one here soon. Also love the skyrim music in the back lol
Great video! You remind me of my son. Made me smile bro!
