The Original: The BMW 5 Series Sedan (E39)
The BMW 5 Series Sedan (E39) represents the fourth generation of the BMW 5 Series series and was built between 1995 and 2004. This model was considered one of the most advanced sedans of its time and set new standards in terms of technology, safety, and design. The vehicle was developed under the direction of designer Joji Nagashima and chief engineer Wolfgang Ziebart. The chassis stands out for its balanced mix of driving dynamics and comfort, typical of the BMW brand. At that time, the world was on the move: in 1995, Windows 95 was released, eBay was founded, and the famous song "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio played worldwide on the radios. These temporal references help to better understand the spirit and era of the vehicle.
Technical Features of the BMW 5 Series Sedan (E39)
The heart of the BMW 5 Series Sedan (E39) is the powerful engine. One of the most notable variants is the 4.9-liter V8 engine in the M5 model, which delivers 400 horsepower and an impressive acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds. The innovative multi-link suspension system provides excellent handling, and the MacPherson struts at the front axle offer a balanced driving feel. Other technical innovations include the DSC stability control system and the Servotronic steering, which adjusts steering assistance based on speed. The predecessor of this model was the E34, which also set high standards, but the E39 built upon it and introduced many technological advancements.
