The E39 is a lovely looking motor, and is okay to drive.
Bought my E39 from a fellow forum member, it is still a beast! Sadly has a problem, love affair with petrol stations, needs to busy too often.
With “only” 222000km’s on the clock
Dad is currently using it, while his E24 is been “restored”
Looking for a E39 Touring as a second car later this year, for dad to use during the week
(Would love to own a 540 touring (only 3 in SA – there is one in East London))
E39 feels like a tank/lorry to drive after the Z4.
I still prefer the feed back of the drive of my E34 over the E39 , both are 540i’s
What I’ve read of reviews on the E39 the 528I is the better one the bunch
