What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1999 BMW 5 Series have a strong appreciation for its performance, luxurious feel, and comfortable ride. Many drivers love the power of the V8 engine, the handling, and the sporty appearance. However, a common concern is the vehicle's fuel consumption, which some found to be high. Additionally, a few reviewers reported issues with reliability and functionality of certain features."
BMW 540i. Very powerful car and closest to a E39 M5. Equipped with an auto gear and loaded with options like: Nappa leather, full AC schnitzer bodykit, Original M5 rims, head lamp washer, rain detector, M5 Bootlid, roof aerial, AC Schnitzer exhaust.
March 29, 2008This is a great car. I have close to 220,000 miles on the car now and now signs of the car slowing down any time soon. I have had to do some bigger jobs but it wasn't anything that wasnt time to be done, on a 10 year old car with 220k miles on it, over all this has been a great car with loads of opptions that work after 10 years.
October 26, 2011Overall, I can say this car is an amazing and lovely car. First of all, the car carries a 4.4L V8 engine with 286 hp and it has the torque of about 324 ft-lbs at 3600 rpms. The chassis is solid and well built, thus making the car very safe. The car also has a very nice and smooth feel to it and I personally enjoy driving it.

April 30, 2008These big BMWs are really a joy to drive. You can go 500 miles in one and feel relaxed and refreshed when you get there. And you'll get there quickly because they cruise fast all day long. And it's a first class flight all the way. The 5 is no way as nimble as my old 1986 325 but as far as luxury, it is in a whole different league. Oh, and as far as styling...I prefer the older 5s over today's version. In fact, I hate to say it but I am not a big fan of a lot of the newer BMWs when it comes to the way they look. That's a personal matter of taste and it does not reflect on how excellent these cars are. All in all, I am proud to have owned one of these big cruisers.
April 17, 2014performance : good breaking system build quality : strong material used strong design appearance : the interior is perfect with navigation system and leather seat cost of ownership : economy gas usage fun factor : its very fun to drive this specialy when its 540i
January 28, 2011Greatest car we have ever owned. SO much power. That V8 would haul ass like nobody's business. The fact that it was a station wagon made it practical but the monster V8 made it fun as hell. Beautiful (to a station wagon lover).
July 31, 2010I like the agressive look and the performance, I dislike the appetite for fuel, very comfortable and yet sporty. Great handling and stability, impressive feeling of train on tracks. Good shape of all the general aspect, I don't feel that I get tired of looking at it. I really enjoy driving it
August 6, 2008Corners at 130+..... its a sportz car... over 160mph and still as smooth as silk! This is an amazing car to drive and can only assume that the 2008+ M5's are exponentially more "fun". Will hope I never own anything elso but a BMW!
January 5, 2009Overall Very great car, quick and reliable. Moderately fuel efficient great for daily driving as well as commuting. Would upgrade to a M5 over a 540I if you are looking for more power. Definitely a car to satisfy any BMW Fanatic though.
April 26, 2014heated seats, heated steering wheel, leather seats, big trunk, straight 6 motor, comfy ride, 6 disc cd changer, air bags, moon roof, decent gas mileage. expensive to fix, have to order parts, 7 quarts of oil for an oil change
