Great deal or ripoff, hmmmm, too soon to say, depends on how long it takes to get it to the level you want and how much additional that will cost you. The vehicle is one of BMW's most reliable ever made, but that doesn't mean you'll have no problems, as you drive home showed. I'd say you've got a better than 60/40 chance it's a great deal.

The E39 5 series is probably one of the greatest cars ever created, extremely well engineered, styled and put together. Very comfortable, very reliable, very connected and communicative to the driver, very economical (at least the regular straight-six ones, the v8s and the m5s take a little more moolah but for the performance it's cheap!) and they just ooze style and class! Mercedes E-classes of the age (e39 in europe was 1995-2003) were also mostly classy, reliable and comfortable, however BMW really took it farther with handling, road feel and sportiness. The E60 is a great car, especially the 6 cylinder manual ones, and while the styling was very criticized at the time they really were a bit before their time. The E60s are beautiful cars and they almost live up to the E39, but that little bit of extra build quality and feel that the E39s provide is something special. Find a well taken care of E39 with the lowest mileage you can and you will be happy!

Looks fantastic. That S62 is a peach of an engine. Glad you have this on the channel and I'm really looking fwd to the upcoming mods!

Well done mate. I really want to see the progress on this beast.

Great video. I bought a 2002 M5 in Sacramento a couple years ago. Salvage title, 79k miles, flew out and drove it back to St. Louis. The seller was soooo shady, he didn’t have to be, long story, just weird. Anyway, took a huge gamble, and love the car. It feels like a 2 ton go cart. Dinan upgrades include headers, full exhaust, strut tower brace, and carbon fiber air intake. Bought it for $14k, and have no regrets...except for it getting backed into 2 weeks after I moved to Chicago, another long story, but new bumpers front and rear, a fresh new white wrap, and in the process of replacing all fluids for clean slate to my favorite car ever. Can’t wait to get back on the road with her.

Also has dsp. Alcantara roof lining is super rare. Also those seats are known as heritage seats. Nice car dude. Love mine.

Yup. Chevy SS is a great car no matter what.

About the differential, I had an E39 540i. My differential started whining after a while. This can happen if you do a lot of burnouts or donuts. But you should be happy to know that it's fairly cheap to buy a used one or if you have the money buy a brand new one. Great car, awesome price I'm very happy for you. The E39 M5 and the E46 M3 are two of my dream cars. I just don't like the fact that people supercharge them so often. You're going to modify an E46 or an E39, just do things right and turbo charge it. For me I think that might ruin it, well, maybe not the E46 M3 but, the E39 M5 should stay naturally aspirated in my opinion. And that V8 needs to really Rev from time to time. After all it does have a problem with carbon buildup. And also the vanos does need to be maintained. Other than that, this is a great,fun, reliable car that you can comfortably drive with 3 passengers.4 if they are short....

I always get a kick out of your humor and the opening scenes in this video, not once, but twice, fooled me when the cars behind you took off. This was such an interesting vid, Alex. Filled with info and even a bit of your trip back from Atlanta. The only BMW I've owned was what I purchased back in 1978 when I was a kid. It was a 1979 BMW 320i. Man, that car was a blast to drive, far more than Mercedes. My older brothers made me let them drive when we were going somewhere in my car (that's the trouble with being the younger brother!). I'm now steeped in Mercedes Land with age . . . but dang, this video was awesome. All my life I have actually wanted a mint 2002 from the mid 70s . . .so who knows. Again, due to age, I don't need what you just purchased, but just a sweet little 2002 to putt-putt around in like the old fart that I am.

Absolutely love the E39 M5, did my share of work and upgrades on them back in the day, stupid stuff like broken cup holders, seat belt buckles causing SRS lights are the norm but the chassis and suspension is rock solid especially when freshened up and upgraded. Worst thing on that car are the factory exhaust manifolds they’re absolutely horrible, long tube headers from the few companies that still offer them are an awesome upgrade.

Awesome video. Just picked up a 2002 E39 M5 Titanium Silver with Black with wood trim with 145,000 miles for about $14,000. Been looking for this car for a couple of years. Interior and exterior are impeccable. Mechanically first class. The mileage was all highway between Oregon and North Carolina twice per year. At each destination full maintenance was performed, so there are 75 normal maintenance jobs. This is BMW's best ever sedan. It's all original, but I'll do a muffler delete - that's it! It just has everything together: ride, space, performance, sounds, and reliability. Maybe my last car . . .

Very cool video. Thanks! 😎👍

Because of this I bought a one owner 997.2 4S with 220k kms.

Love the manual transmission, but not $8k love. Lol

Just a little tip, I had a similar problem with the SRS in my e39 540 and it turned out to be corroded contacts, fuses and basically the whole fuse block under the carpet of the front passenger seat. Usually a rear door seal or something similar leaking under the carpet/insulation and getting to that box. ALSO When you sort out your shifter bushing rebuild or short throw shifter install, get yourself a ZHP Weighted shift-knob, you will love it. Either the dealer or your favorite online seller can get them for $75-$100.

I recently picked up a 2000 M5 with 107,000 miles for $7,200. When I bought it there were some glaring issues such as the FSU was causing the blower motor to run even with the key off, and it had a terrible misfire and hesitation around 3,000 rpm. New MAFs fixed the engine drivability problems, and now it runs great! It still has a sizable list of mostly small issues I’m working out, but nothing too serious and it should be great when it’s done! I’m looking forward to seeing you tinker with yours now too!

Joshua Moore It’s literally one of the best cars ever made I don’t think it gets much better

80+ faults 🤣😂 My F10 M5 legit logs a fault code when the AA batteries in the rear seat entertainment remote are low! 😂🤣😂🤣

Ok, I dig this and the Firebird, those are now my favorite cars you own!

Had the same airbag light issue with my 2006 E53 X5. Was a bad seat sensor pad which was not covered under the recall in my case as mine was a late model 06. Installed a bypass box along with a seatbelt warning bypass so now the car thinks there is always someone in the seat. In my case, my son drives the car now and a small child will never be in the passenger seat if the airbag ever deploys. Box was about $40 with seat belt sensor bypass from eBay sent from Ireland. Works flawlessly. Good luck with the M5. Awesome car. I recently bought a 2008 Volvo S60 from my independent mechanic with 154,400 miles on it...as well with an extensive service history and all the records. If properly maintained, these cars will run for a very long time.

Nice car Alex 👍 Does look like it burns a little oil as is.

Ben King Lol that’s a good deal but I think I have you beat. I got one with the m sport package for 600$. It had a bad ignition coil and it’s had issues since but they were relatively minor and I’ve had it for a year now. They pull hard man, and obviously it has to be a manual. What’s your mileage?

sabfly It’s close enough. Based on how expensive the M5 is now it’s not a bad idea to get a 540i. I am trying to upgrade to M5 but a 540i is hella fun also.

Your nans hamsters dead Uncles dads brothers cat maybe in America, in Europe we only buy the 530d almost all members of bmw clubs Drive 530d

Can't wait to see you mint out this BMW. Would be awesome to see you do the same treatments on other similar cars of the period.
