Der Klassiker: BMW E39 540i Touring
The BMW E39 540i Touring is an absolute legend that was produced from 1995 to 2003. This fifth generation of the 5 Series quickly became the benchmark in the luxury class. The E39 was developed under the leadership of Chris Bangle, who was responsible for many iconic BMW designs. Known for its advanced technology, the E39 strikes the perfect balance between comfort and sporty performance. One cool technical feature was the use of aluminum components in the suspension systems, which really improved the handling of the car. Its predecessor, the E39 was the E34, which was made from 1987 to 1996.
The Influence of Hamann and Tuning
The E39 was often souped up by tuning companies like Hamann. Hamann was founded in 1986 by Richard Hamann and is known for high-quality BMW enhancements. The E39 540i Touring looking like a Hamann version represents one of these modified rides, standing out thanks to aerodynamic tweaks and aesthetic upgrades. The wheels you see in the picture could be from a well-known manufacturer like BBS. The special modifications showcased here might include lowered suspension and custom body pieces that boost the sporty aesthetic. The miniature shown reflects this modified design and is a unique collector’s piece.
The Miniature by KK-Scale
This 1/18 scale model from KK-Scale is a real treat for any collector. It’s a modified version that doesn’t represent the standard model originally produced by KK-Scale. This variant boasts a Hamann-inspired look, seen in the cosmetic changes. Made from premium diecast materials, this model delivers a stunning representation of the original. The metallic gray paint job and eye-catching red brakes really make it pop. Because of its unique modifications, it stands out in “Bmw-M-Fan’s” collection as a true gem.
A Peek Back in Time
Back in 1995, when the E39 first rolled off the assembly line, the year was packed with memorable events like the release of the movie "Toy Story," the launch of Windows 95 by Microsoft, and the famous Oslo Peace Accords. Knowing those bits of history makes it easier to appreciate the context in which this car gained its popularity. The E39 is remembered as a symbol of automotive artistry from the '90s and early 2000s, making it a real treasure for any car enthusiast. This beautifully crafted 1/18 scale model allows us to revisit that era and the industrial progress of those years.
