i have a 2,5v6 omega since 2001 and still love it after 20 years together...

Tbh I like both. Never owned a E39 but have been in a few. I've owned around 6 Omegas over the years and currently still have two 3.2 Elite models. I've always had a soft spot for big Vauxhall saloons with a big engine. They might not be the fastest out there but they do put a smile on my face. Would fancy a Senator 3.0 24v if one came up for sale. But these have gone up on value drastically and they are far and few between especially in good condition. Now's the time to buy a Omega 3.0/3.2 before they get scrapped / go up on value in years to come. Good cars but they do have their faults and nigles like all cars.

e39 is one of the last good bmw.

I wish Hammonds poitive bits about vauxhall would come back to haunt him on the grand tour. Jeremy probably would be incapable to laugh any louder.

This is because, firstly, they are very rare cars now. It’s difficult to find them 1. Cheap and 2. In good condition. Secondly, the prices are massive for owning a car like this at a young age. Still hope to get one some day, but not as a first car.

I had/have both cars. The Omega is bigger, which is good. But the seats are too much of a living room sofa as is the suspension. The Omega is rather fitting for Mercedes oriented owners. Also the display position of the Omega is just horrible. No matter how I adjusted my seat and steering wheel, I never saw the whole display, it's always overlapped by the steering wheel. BTW: The 535i tested in this video has a 3.5 V8 and not a 3.0l engine. The follow up facelift e39 530i has a inline 6 with 3.0l. That's the one I have now :)

Having driven an e39 and owned 2 omegas, 2.2 dti gls and a 3.2 elite I can say that the e39 is a more sporty car in general but the omega is better value for money and the interior has not aged that much compared to my dads 2002 530d. Regarding the display I've never had problems with seeing it, but I do have that difficulty with the new F10 5 series which I now own. Also the omega gets points for having fold down rear seats which in bmw you have to pay extra for.

That's a problem for all cars I ever had. Steering wheel just gets in the way, even in the E39. (If you put it to high up, it's uncomfortable and feels like driving a bus, and if you bring it down, the cluster's blocked)

Owned and driven both. Each is a capable and enjoyable car.

I've had 3 Omega 2.6 CDX cars doing nearly 100k in each. Thoroughly enjoyed them, never let me down, lovely cars, cost next nothing to maintain apart from regular stuff like tyres and brakes. I've got a BMW 530SE GT at the moment which is also a lovely car but, with those run-flat tyres, is nowhere near as comfortable as my Omega's.

what's the music in the end?

I like the Omega because i see those bmw everywhere.

The facelift V6 models did not offer that btw. Basicly when TC+ was introduced it was removed, because TC+ offered more tration on slippery ground.
