iv owned my e39 now for just over 6 months iv done 6kmiles in it this is my 2nd bmw my first being a 4 cylinder ,il start by sayng that bmw's should only be sold in 6 cyl's there so much better. theres 120k on my car with a full bmwsh when i bought it, but the first thing i done when i purchased it was change the whole cooling system rad,water pump,belts and coolant i recommend changing the lot if it has not been done already.i get around 400 miles to a tank 70%city 30% motorway which im very happy with considering its a 1.6 ton car with a 2,5 I6 engine around the city i average 25mpg and on the motorway 30 and up. the handling is very good on the sport it really whips round the backroads and the roar from the engine at high revs is amazing overall id rate the e39 4.5 out of 5 i hope this review is of use to people

The 5 series is a great example of a big German saloon at its best, fantastic build quality, reliable, powerful and so smooth! The 2.5 litre inline 6 has to be one of the best engines ever built, linear power delivery and a rasping sound higher up the rev range, on a cruise or driven sensibly you won't hear a peep, almost eerily quiet. With combined driving I average around 34 mpg which is great for a big petrol saloon like this.

There are times where I'd prefer more power and torque low down so for that reason and budget permitting I would recommend the 525 or 530.
