I had a chance to drive an 05 M5. Perfect Sports sedan. The engine is an absolute Gem, matched perfectly by the 6spd manual. Great video, spot on description of modern BMW’s.
I had 2 540s, an 03 manual m sport and an auto 01, I got the 03 540 back in 2014, I wish I kept it, only had 86k miles 1’ower clean title, I sold it a year later for 7k bought it for 5k, now I can’t even find a 03 540 m sport manual with less then 150k miles for 8-12k…
I have a 99 540i with the manual, spent alot of time & $ to get it to where it is but its relIable as hell, never left me stranded in my 8 years of ownership. Pulls hard w/213k on the clock. biggest concerns to watch for are the obvious by now engine issues but also check for the jackpoint rust. that is a huge weak point on the body.
My next car. Imma get one in Zimbabwe or South Africa as I am currently in Scotland Already got the w124 300e 4matic I inherited from my dad who passed away and having this would be icing on cake
Although the exhaust has a nice note I don't think it suits the car, It's supposed to be understated. I have a 97 540 m sport that is stock other than face lift front end. My T5.1 transporter on the other hand, I've gone to town on upping the performance
I see what you’re saying 👍 I am still pleased by the quality of the sound. Straight pipe usually sounds as sh*t imho, but this 540 sounds very pleasant to the ear.
automatic is not the real deal...only a 6 spd for max driving and an accurate feeling for the car.unless it has a 6 spd manual or its not a true i sport.ive got a true 2000 540i sport.not a m sport.the m sport came out in 2002 . the i sport in 2000 were all 6 spd manual cars...and they werent automatics.

I’m here for 540i content all day 💯
💯 So much character and charisma
01 540i 6 speed owner. Never selling it!
Nice one 😎👍
would it be worth it to buy one? i’ve been burned by two vws and an audi and i’m about to say screw it and convert to bmw
@@oscarstoffer3391 get the non vanos variant and you'll be good. Otherwise the m62/m62tu is an amazing engine 👏
@@alexmair3613which ones are the none vanos

I am sure that was a pleasant driving experience. I hope to get my hands on M5 soon to film it 👍
v In my opinion, the E39 ids the best Sedan design of all time. I have owned 3 of them, and currently own a 6 speed 2002 540..
NICE!!!
I’m enjoying the e39 platform I got them in my channel and bringing them back to stock form
Shhhh don’t tell them!!! 🤫

@@AccentOnCars Thank you sir
Just a quick question does a diesel engine fit in a car that was originally petrol
I'm worried about the engine mounts
540i6 mtech, individual sepia violet owner here 👋👋
😎🤝
I’m not in the 18-45 bracket any more, but it’s ok, my 540i/6 isn’t an M-Sport.
E39 looks so good 😊
Man I Had the chance to buy one and I passed up on it. Shame on me
You’ll get more opportunities 😎
i had a 98 535i and regret selling it every day!...
I want an M5 E39 so badly.
The wagons even better
I am not into wagons in general, but I agree that BMWs, especially old ones, look captivating in the wagon form.
I have a beautiful white e39 540i with only 132k mile 💓
😍
GM tried with the Pontiac G8 and later the Chevy SS.
What did they try?

Hello, i have a 2008 e63 do u think bolt ons + tune would be enough to get 500 whp on 95 octane?
What do you have in mind for bolt-ons? Supercharger, downpipes and tune from 86Tuned should give you those numbers, I think.
what is the exhaust setup please
Did I not mention in the video? If I remember correctly it’s almost straight piped.

Yes, manual would be awesome. I might be able to get my hands on a manual M5 soon. Hopefully and will make a review of that too 😎
You have a Very Turkish accent, my friend ='D
Well, the channel is called “Accent on cars” 😀🤝
@@AccentOnCars wish i had seen it before
I actually speak Turkish, Russian, Azerbaijani and a bit Georgian. So it’s a wild mix of accents 😂
@@AccentOnCars Yeah its very interesting and as a fellow Turkish speaker i instantly heared it out!
