BMW M5 E39 - a bright representative of the fifth series

BMW M5 E39 is a car that is a bright representative of the fifth series of the manufacturer. The very first generation was introduced almost 35 years ago by the BMW E12.

History

The manufacturer applied the maximum amount of effort to ensure that its novelty became successful, bought and could easily compete with other popular models in the automotive market. At that time, the best technologies were embodied in the BMW M5 E39. And they, I must say, are still relevant in the automotive industry. A few years after the premiere, the concern produced a four-cylinder engine, which was installed under the hood of the upgraded car - 520 E39. A little later, the modification 525 E39 came out, developing excellent power.

Technical equipment

Characteristics of the BMW M5 E39 makes it clear that this car is almost perfect. The volume of its engine is 4941 cubic meters. See, the power measured in horsepower reaches 400. The torque also pleases, its figure is 500/3800 rpm. Thanks to such indicators, up to a hundred the car accelerates slightly more than in five seconds. The V8 engine is located longitudinally, in front. Also worth noting is the distributed fuel injection. By the way, the volume of the tank is 70 liters. At 100 kilometers within the city takes about 21 liters of gasoline, if we take into account the traffic along the highway, this figure is reduced by almost 2.5 times - an average of 9.8 liters is spent. In a mixed cycle of "one hundred", about 14 liters leave. This is the first modification of the BMW M5 E39. Specifications in general can satisfy even a very demanding driver. The only negative that can embarrass, is a considerable fuel consumption within the city. However, do not forget that every car has its drawbacks.

Comfort in operation

German cars have always been famous for the convenience of management. The man sitting behind the wheel of the BMW M5 E39 feels maximum comfort and absolute absence of any inconvenience. By the way, this model is the first of a number of machines in which the aluminum suspension was used. It provides excellent controllability and high strength. In addition, comfort is greatly affected by how well the seats are made. In this respect, the German manufacturer has also succeeded, since even a few hours spent behind the wheel without a break will not affect the state of the back of the driver or passenger. Behind, it should be noted, it is also very comfortable to be: there is enough room for comfortable accommodation of three adults.

Features of the complete set

BMW M5 E39 - a car with its features, and they should be told. So, for example, in the updated engines a completely unique gas distribution system is installed. Also the manufacturer has provided automatic heating of a wheel, mirrors and seats, and an opportunity of debugging of position of armchairs. It is worth noting that you do not need to configure these functions manually. For example, the heating of external mirrors is automatically activated if the outside temperature is low enough. There are airbags, and belts (in case of an accident) are adjusted by their tightness to the body themselves. The suspension is equipped with special springs, which are "pinned" by one and a half centimeters. Also, it has quite powerful shock absorbers. And, at last, all seats have adjustable lateral support that allows to adjust absolutely any position. So in terms of comfort this car is really good. However, as in many other things.

Improvement

Tuning BMW M5 E39 - this is an activity for people who constantly want to improve their "iron horse". I would like to say that in this car there is almost everything, so improvements as such are not necessary. But still if there is a desire to improve something, then several options for tuning can be considered. For example, some want to give their car a more elegant look and change the bumper. For these purposes, a good version will be the version of M5 look. This bumper costs about 7,000 rubles. Many decide to replace the suspension. Some advise to take a closer look at the firm called Weitec. Depending on whether the owner wishes to lift his car or lower it slightly, he will be picked up the necessary size. If you want to make your car more aggressive, you can install an air intake. And, finally, a few words about optics. It is also often installed, and the most common option is the xenon lamp. It looks really solid.

In the finale of this story, you can not say a few words about the price of the car. For today in Russia it is rather difficult to find this car. However, some offer to buy a used car, and I must say, many of them are in excellent condition. The price is not that big for a car with such indicators - about 600 thousand rubles.
