The E39 was the successor of the BMW E34 in 1995, and itself was replaced by the E60 platform in 2003. Sales to Germany and the United Kingdom began in 1995, and by 1996 sales to the rest of the world had commenced. A mid-generational refresh appeared in 2001, featuring minute detail changes. At launch, the base model was the 520i, which developed 112 kilowatts (150 hp) in the pre-update models, and 126 kilowatts (170 hp) in later models. An M5 variant was introduced in 1998, with a 4.9 litre S62 V8 engine. All models but the M5 were available as either a sedan or a wagon, the latter called Touring. Introduced in Europe in 1995, the complete vehicle redesign draws heavily from the E38 7 Series in body construction and electronic technology. The mid-level BMW sedan showed evolutionary styling changes rather than a dramatic redesign. Initially offered only as a sedan, the wheelbase grew by 68 millimetres (2.7 in) and overall length by 55 millimetres (2.2 in) over the previous 5-series, the E34. In the US, the new 5 Series came in two forms: the 528i and 540i. The 1996 528i introduced a new M52 in-line six that it shared with the E36 328i, the 540i a 4.4 litre M62 V8 shared with the E38 740i. Both engines were upgraded over the prior 5 Series generation. The 2.8 litre dual overhead camshaft six-cylinder engine made 141 kilowatts (190 hp), versus 210 kilowatts (282 hp) for the 4.4 litre dual overhead camshaft, all-aluminum V8. A ZF five-speed manual transmission without overdrive was standard on the 528i, with an optional A4S 310 R four-speed automatic. The 540i, in contrast, could have either a Getrag six-speed manual or a new five-speed A5S 560Z automatic transmission with adaptive transmission control. Standard equipment on both models included dual front and side airbags, anti-lock brakes, traction control, power steering, and air conditioning.[6][7] Contents 1 Engineering 1.1 Body 1.2 Steering and suspension 1.3 Engine specifications 1.4 Flexible Electronics Design 2 Changes by model year (US) 2.1 1997 2.2 1998 2.3 1999 2.4 2000 2.5 2001 2.6 2002 2.7 2003 3 References [edit] Engineering [edit] Body The E39 all-steel body acts as a safety cage for occupant protection. The structural rigidity of the monocoque was increased using computer-aided engineering. This allows key points to be reinforced, to increase rigidity, without significantly adding to the weight. The overall increase is 10 kilograms (20 lb), which is offset by the aluminium suspension. Laser welding techniques ensure rigid bonding throughout.[8] Another area of focus in the design of the body was in structural dynamics. The body was designed so that the frequencies for torsional twisting and bending are in separate ranges and above natural frequency. These frequencies are out of the range of engine and driveline vibrations; thus they will not amplify them.[9] The aerodynamically designed body and features of the E39 gave the 528i and 540i, 0.28 and 0.31 drag coefficients respectively. Torsional rigidity was also increased over the E34, by 40 percent.[9] The chassis was so stiff that the rigidity was unchanged for the E60 model.[10] This added stiffness allows the suspension to work with more accuracy. It also allows total engineering of ride quality through the suspension; rather than in combination with body flex.[9] [edit] Steering and suspension With the E39, two steering types and double pivot, MacPherson strut suspensions systems are used. For the 520i–530i models, BMW, for the first time in a 5 series, utilised rack and pinion steering.[11] This not only offers weight reductions over the recirculating ball type used on the V8s, but also provides quicker steering response through its variable ratio, as well as a more precise feel. This system steers from the front of the axle.[9] Interior showcasing the updated E39's centre console layout, with optional navigation screen. Six-cylinder models also receive an aluminium front subframe. The struts use aluminium "Tension Link" that comes from a forward position back to the front of the wheel and an aluminium horizontal link to locate them. Aluminium is used for the steering knuckles, outer strut tube, and the spring pads; saving 21 kilograms (46 lb).[9] BMW 530i (E39) Sport sedan (Australia) BMW 525i station wagon (Japan) With the 540i, BMW retained the front steering and suspension from the previous E34 540i with the design based on the E38 7 Series.[9] The physical size, dimensions, and weight of the V8 engine required the use of the older recirculating ball steering. This system steers from the back side of the axle.[11] The front subframe is steel. To compensate for the heavier front end, BMW used extra aluminium in components including the steering box, steering knuckles, outer strut tube, and the spring pads. The struts are located by an aluminium "Thrust Link" that comes from the rear to meet the back of the wheel and an aluminium horizontal link.[9] The E39 employs similar design to the E38 7 Series for the rear suspension, regardless of the model specified. This "four-link integral rear suspension" or "Z-link" axle was first introduced on the BMW Z1. With this, Chapman struts are utilised. Through precise toe angle changes, stable yet responsive handling without unwanted toe change effects under load is achieved.[9] [edit] Engine specifications Various engine sizes and configurations have been available. The North American market saw the 525i, 528i, 530i, 540i and M5. The European range was however, more diverse, with BMW offering the 520i, 523i, 525i, 528i, 530i, 535i, 540i, 525tds, 520d (the only four-cylinder 5-Series engine on this generation), 525d, 530d and M5. [edit] Flexible Electronics Design Since the start of production the entire in-car entertainment system (Radio Function, Navigation System, Television and Telecommunications systems) is based on a very flexible automotive computer system.[12] As a result the E39 models can all be easily upgraded with the newest BMW technologies including BMW's Bluetooth System, the DVD based Navigation system, as well as BMW's CD changers that play MP3s[13] From 1997–2000, the E39 model range in North America consisted of the 528i, 540i, and M5. In 2001, the 528i was discontinued and replaced by the 525i and 530i. The 520i, 523i, 525i and 528i were powered by a 110 kilowatt (150 hp) engine in earlier versions, a 126 kilowatt (170 hp) and 141 kilowatt (190 hp) engines respectively. These were all versions of the gasoline M52 inline-six engine. The 530i was powered by a 171 kilowatt (231 hp) inline-six, the M54, shared with the E46 330i. The 540i was initially powered by the 210 kilowatt (282 hp) 4.4 litre M62B44 V8 which was derived from the earlier E34 5 Series' M60, but included upgraded cylinder block material, electronics, and more displacement. In September 1998, the 540i received the further upgraded M62TUB44, which was also seen in the E38 (7 Series) and in the BMW E53 (X5). This engine supported a VANOS variable valve timing system, and had electronic throttle control. It was slightly boosted to 290 hp for year 2002 and 2003 540i.

Models available were the 528i with a I6, and the 540i with a M62 V8. The on-board computer, called the Multi-Information System (MID), was upgraded in mid 1997. [edit] 1998 For 1998 optional rear side airbags became available, and both models also gained BMW's exclusive new Head Protection System, which consists of two tubular bags that inflate upon a side impact and pop out just above each front door. A new Sport Package for the 528i and 540i, as well as an automatic transmission 540i were added options. The Sport Package included black body trim (standard models had chrome around the top of the windows), a sport-tuned suspension, and 17-inch (430 mm) wheels and tires. In September 1998, the 540i's M62B44 was updated to the M62TUB44, adding 15 ft·lbf (20 N·m) of torque. DSC first became available on 540i with automatic transmission as of 9/97 The high-performance M5 sedan returned to the BMW fold. Built in limited numbers, the M5 used a 400 hp (300 kW) V8 S62, and came with a firmer suspension, 18 inch wheels, a 6-speed manual transmission, and exclusive interior trim. Lower-body rear side airbags were standard on the M5, remaining optional for other models. [edit] 1999 1999 saw the introduction of the Touring (station wagon) body style and joined sedans in both 6-cylinder and V8 editions. Added options for 1999 were brighter xenon headlights, Park Distance Control that warns of obstacles when backing up, and self-leveling rear suspension for wagons. Standard on V8 models and newly optional for 528i versions was BMW's Dynamic Stability Control, designed to aid control in fast turns. [edit] 2000 In 2000, rain-sensing windshield wipers and xenon headlamps became standard on the 540i, and were newly available for 528i models. The "M Sport" package was added (replacing the standard sport package), and included the M Sport steering wheel, door sills, and shift knob. The 528i versions also gained the 540i's standard stability control system. All models now had daytime running lights, and fog lamps. [edit] 2001 For the 2001 model year (Cars made from September 2000), BMW updated the E39 with newer, clear-lens tail, side marker, and headlights which first displayed the now-popular "angel eyes." Rear tail lights were changed to "wave-guide" LEDs (Hella, the OEM, refers to these lights as "CELIS"), while the side and rear turn signals were changed from amber lenses to clear. The black trim was now painted to match the body color, and the front bumper now featured rounded fog lights. Internally many changes were made to electronics; items such as window regulators and the air conditioning were updated. The 528i was replaced by the 530i which had a new 170 kW (228 hp) M54B30 3.0 L inline-6. A new entry-level 525i was introduced featuring a 143 kW (192 hp) M54B25 2.5 L I6 and a slightly lower price. The available navigation system was changed to a wide screen version. The front grill was also changed to a new, more pronounced design. [edit] 2002 For 2002, BMW Steptronic-equipped E39s had their manual shift direction switched to match BMW's SMG. Also, in 2002 the 540i V8 32V engine power was increased from 210 kW (282 hp) to 216 kW (290 hp) while torque remained the same. All models got a standard in-dash CD player, 6-cylinder models added a standard power passenger seat, and the 525i received automatic climate control standard. Consumer Reports declared the 2002 BMW E39 the best car they had ever reviewed. [edit] 2003 2003 marked the last year for the E39 platform; they were differentiated by the addition of extra chrome trim on the trunk (boot) and on the sides of the body. In all 6-cylinder model 5-Series add a standard sunroof. The optional navigation systems upgraded from CD-ROM format (8 CDs to cover the entire USA and Canada) to a single DVD-ROM.[15] The optional sport package on the 540i carried parts from M-technic. This included a full M-tech ground effects, M-tech II suspension, 18 inch wheels, and a variety of M badging. Isofix/LATCH child seat anchors were added. The E39 wagon (touring / estate) was continued into 2004 until the touring version of the new E60 5 Series was released.

The preceding models were the 700, the "New Class", the "New Six" 2500/2800/Bavaria and the CS. The 5 Series was intended to replace the older New Six sedans. The body was styled by Marcello Gandini, based on the Bertone 1970 BMW Garmisch 2002ti Geneva show car. Gandini also did the Fiat 132 and Alfa Romeo Alfetta, two other cars that have a similar design. There have been six generations of the 5 Series to date. To differentiate between them, they are referred to by their unique chassis numbers (EXX or FXX). The 5 Series began the BMW tradition of being named with a three-digit number. The first digit (5 in this case) represents the model, and the following two digits (usually) represent the size of the engine in decilitres, which is the main distinguishing difference. Additional letters or words may be added to the end of the three-digit number to define the fuel type (petrol or diesel), engine or transmission details, and the body style.

The diesel engines available in the European models provide great torque and smoothness with better economy. The M5 has been called "the ultimate in discreet speed" with 369 lbf·ft (500 N·m) of torque and a 0–60 mph time of 4.8  s. The only downside was its smallish cabin and tiny trunk space of 11.1 ft³ (314 L).

Its styling (designed by late BMW designer Davide Arcangeli) and many of its advanced features received mixed reviews. It is noted for its non traditional BMW design, the most controversial being the "Bangle butt" rear-end, though since then critics have said that the design has aged well as of 2010.[8][9] Despite criticism over its exterior design and interior electronics, this became the best-selling 5 Series.[10] Considered the heart of the BMW brand, it generates 20 percent of the company’s profits and accounts for between 25 and 30 percent of sales in the key U.S. market (but just 2 percent in Canada). Since 2005, the 5 Series has been the segment leader, out-selling the Mercedes-Benz E-Class among others.[11][12] The E60 represents a significant step forward in technology over the previous generation. The controversial iDrive interface has electronic control over all aspects of the vehicle from the suspension, to brightness of interior lights, to different temperature zones within the cabin. The vehicle is also equipped with an array of safety features from adaptive headlamps to Hill start assist, and is also equipped with a Trailer Stability Program to aid when towing a large trailer or caravan. Other major options include Active Cruise Control and Active Steering. Two new features became available in September 2005, BMW Night Vision and High-Beam Assist. xDrive Four-wheel drive system is now an option on the 5 Series for the first time since the E34 in 1996, available on six cylinder models. This system is shared with the X3 and X5. 2006-2008 models were badged as the 525xi, 528xi, 530xi and 535xi. For the 2009 model year and onwards, these will be badged as the 528i xDrive and 535i xDrive.

For model year 2008, BMW added a slightly redesigned interior, subtle exterior details, and new motor options. Updates include new front and rear bumpers, re-styled front headlights and re-styled taillights with LED technology. A refreshed interior is also presented featuring the new shifter from the new X5, and the addition of the new BMW electronic throttle system. The 2008 model, of the 520i, has a new engine: a 2.0 litres 4 cylinders instead of the R6 2.2 litres. High compression and new piezo direct injection technology keeps the performance on 170 bhp (127 kW; 172 PS) / 210 N·m (150 lb·ft), but betters the fuel economy. BMW is considering bringing its diesel powered models to the United States in late 2008. A Lane Departure Warning System based on core Mobileye technology was added and the Active Cruise Control system added a "Stop and Go" feature which can bring the vehicle to a stop automatically and resume again.[18] BMW also launched a new M5 Touring into their range, but this will not be introduced in the USA.

For the powertrain, there will be a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, the single turbo inline-6 N55, and the twin-turbo V8 N63.[8][22] It is designed by Jacek Froehlich, with a more prominent upright split kidney grille and the absence of the "Bangle butt" rear-end styling of its E60 predecessor. Externally, the car is a more traditional BMWesque design; a far more sober effort after the highly controversial E60. Although it bears some resemblance to the E60 with the wide kidney grilles and a very pronounced Hofmeister kink, the creases in the bonnet and just underneath the door are clearly related to the E39 and other earlier 5 series models. Inside marks the return of the centre console being clearly angled towards the driver, another marked change from its immediate predecessor which was noted for its non traditional BMW design.[8][22] However, opinion is divided, as a reviewer described the F10 as too bland and conservative, compared to the E60 predecessor, as well as having too much of a resemblance to the E90 3-Series.[9] [edit] F10/F11 (2011-) The F10 has, for the European market at least, a choice of 7 engines: a 4.4 litre N63 topping the range in the 550i, followed by a trio of straight 6 petrols. Despite many rumours[23] to the contrary, BMW's second best selling model after the 3 series does not use any 4 cylinder petrol engines this time round. Instead, BMW has retained, for the time being at least, a trio of straight 6 engines, completing the petrol engine range. Straight six engines offer superior refinement over their 4 cylinder counterparts, as well as being the trademark BMW engine which has featured in so many of the company's most loved cars: the E28 and E34 M5, E36 and E46 M3, not to mention the iconic BMW E26 M1. The 535i has the 306 bhp (228 kW; 310 PS) 295 lb·ft (400 N·m) BMW N55 engine which made its debut in the F07 5 Series GT, and will shortly find its way into the facelifted BMW E92 and E93.[24] The magnesium block naturally aspirated direct injection straight 6 continues in Europe at least; this engine is the BMW N53; 3.0 litres, 258 bhp (192 kW; 262 PS) for the 528i, and 3.0 litres and 204 bhp (152 kW; 207 PS) for the 523i, same outputs as the BMW E89 Z4 sDrive23i. The 4 petrol engines are complemented by a trio of diesel engines. Again, despite rumours to the contrary,[25] BMW has decided to only offer one 4 cylinder engine here: the 520d. This means that the 525d continues to offer the superior mechanical refinement of a straight six as opposed to the rumoured 523d with 4 cylinders. The 525d is joined by a 530d; both models use the same BMW N57 3.0 litre engine, the 525d has 204 bhp (152 kW; 207 PS) and 450 N·m (330 lb·ft), the 530d with 245 bhp (183 kW; 248 PS) and 540 N·m (400 lb·ft) of torque. Expect hybrid models later, as well as more powerful straight 6 diesel to replace the award winning 535d. A long-wheelbase version was released by Brilliance-BMW in China on August 5, 2010, with three engine options—all having 6 cylinders: 2.5L, 3.0L, and Turbo-3.0L.[26] [edit] 5 Series Gran Turismo (F07) BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo In May 2009, BMW released the official pictures of its production model 5 Series Gran Turismo (BMW F07), which is considered a coupé-like crossover vehicle or station wagon - a blend of different typical body styles. BMW advertises the new 5 Series GT as "The First of its Kind". The GT is taller than other fastback competitors.[27] The F07 Gran Turismo (designed by Christopher Weil) shares the same F01 7 Series-derived platform, powertrain, mechanical package, and dashboard with the F10. However the F07's fascia has different headlights and bumper, with a larger split-kidney grille similar to that of the F01 7 Series. The F07 also has a taller height resulting in a higher center of gravity, its longer length allows for more rear legroom, the rear passenger accommodation has optional "Executive" bucket seats for two instead of the three-seat bench, and it weights 400 pounds heavier compared to the F10. The F07 also features frame-less doors and a double-pane liftgate truck.[28] The 5 Series GT is powered by a single-turbo diesel I6 producing 245 PS, by a single-turbo I6 producing 306 PS and a twin-turbo V8 producing 408 PS; the latter will give the car a 0-60 mph time of 5.5 seconds. This is the first BMW to receive the new ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, along with a new Brake Energy Regeneration system.[29] BMW has suggested that the new 5 Series GT would replace the 5 Series Touring (wagon) in their North American lineup, due to slow sales of the E61 wagon in the United States, with only 400 sold in 2009. In that country, more BMW M5 and Z8s have been sold than the 535i and 540i wagons, respectively. BMW is targeting annual sales of 4000 to 8000 5 Series GTs.[30] The F07 was released in the fourth quarter of 2009 as a 2010 model, before the rest of the next-generation 5 Series lineup. In Canada and the United States, for first half of 2010, the Gran Turismo was sold alongside the outgoing E60 5 Series, until the rollout of the F10 in June 2010 for the 2011 model year.[31] [edit] Awards The E39 5 Series was on Car and Driver magazine's annual Ten Best list for six years straight, from its introduction in 1997 through 2002. It was also Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year for 1997 and What Car? Executive Car of the Year 1997 through 2002. The E60 was named "Best New Luxury / Prestige Car" in the 2006 Canadian Car of the Year awards. Active Seat [32] continuous passive motion seating comfort technology recognized as one of the Best Inventions of 1998 by Popular Science magazine. Consumer Reports found the E39 5 series their best car tested in 2001-2002.

How can you improve an engine that has already won six times at the Engine of the Year Awards? With a Twin Scroll turbocharger, Valvetronic and direct petrol injection for a start. More The improvements are evolutionary as each one of the three technologies has been developed further. What is revolutionary however is how they compliment one another. In the BMW TwinPower Turbo in the BMW 535i they are combined in one complete package. The result: 225 kW (306 hp), 400 Nm across a wide speed range and silky smoothness. And all this at a fuel consumption level of just 8.5 l/100 km.Impressive smoothness and high performance are also what characterise the straight six-cylinder engine in the BMW 523i and 528i. Alusil cylinders and a magnesium crankcase make it one of the lightest six-cylinder engines in its class: 150 kW (204 hp) in the BMW 523i, 190 kW (258 hp) in the BMW 528i. An advantage that you not only notice with the driving dynamics but also with the fuel consumption levels of 7.6 or 7.8 l/100 km. So can these values be improved upon? Of course, with the eight-speed automatic transmission Steptronic.

I don't too much about BMW's other than there expensive. QLEE0919 3 months ago DivergentButton 3 months ago E39 is all I have to say DivergentButton 3 months ago philippgs 5 months ago When the last 5 Series hit the streets (2004 model), my first thought was that it looks more like a Hyundai then even a Hyundai was begining too look! I'd be far more like these days, too seek out a clean, low milage, timelessly styled, 2002 or 2003 530 or 540, at a fraction of the price, then to buy either the current or next generation 5.  philippgs 5 months ago kennyboyke 6 months ago German cars are so BOOOOOOOOOOORING the last time .................... kennyboyke 6 months ago XbotSlayer 6 months ago All these cars are all starting to look the same XbotSlayer 6 months ago Johncarson9113 6 months ago A 5 series LI??? really? I thought thats what the flagship sedan was suppose to offer? Im guessing the 5 series Li sedan equals to the size of a bmw 7 series sedan, why pay more for an LI when you can get the 7 series for about the same price, its basically the the 7 series on a different platform?? Just doesnt make sense Johncarson9113 6 months ago Johncarson9113 6 months ago @TOLIDEP001 Yeah i thought that to. I mean not to say Japenese luxury isnt as luxurious as the germans but I really do think they are begining to take inspirational designs from the japs. The Infiniti FX is the first coupe like SUV to come out and now the X6 is produced, then the G-sedan tail lights are passed on to the 2011 5 series and now then Bord eye view from Infiniti is now passed onto the 5 series aswell as the self park assist from the Lexus LS. Johncarson9113 6 months ago turbopok 8 months ago love the blinds at 1:20, reminds me of the Panamera Turbo turbopok 8 months ago theodoro216 8 months ago Wow...
