My favorite car ever. None better. Good get up and go. Best looking car around. Enough room for a family if you have one. Totally reliable. I have had no problems with this car at all. I have nothing bad to say.
February 17, 2015Great car, Dinan S1 suspension. Free Flow exhaust.
May 21, 2008Definitly the wolf in sheeps clothing. The 4.4L V8 is deathly quiet at idle with no exhuast tips visible. People think you are driving a family car, until you punch the gas and you instantly have 326 ft*lbs of torque at your disposal. Handles much much better than my firebird ever did, amazingly enough.

April 3, 2008great car - never had a problem yet
January 3, 2008I love absolutely everything about the E39. The angel eye head lights and jeweled taillights were upgraded for this model year. The M package upgrades to 17'' BBS wheels, M steering wheel, and every option offered for the car. When you stomp your foot down to pass, the car launches even at highway speeds, and if you buy one, you will be infinitely happy!!
April 29, 2009Great acceleration and engine sound, but high fuel consumption inside town. The car drives superbly at high speeds. One main problem that I face is that there are a lot of plastic parts that seem to break easily. Replacement of these parts can be very costly sometimes.
December 27, 2008good gas mileage, badass interior and exterior, great performance, and is a great car to drive. Wheels look awesome on the car for being stock, and over all it is a bmw and is built with quality that only Germans can do....lol need I say any more about this?
August 25, 2008A true drivers car. I own one. Anybody who has owned one understands what a joy to drive they are...
May 13, 2021The 2002 BMW known as E39 series is a fun car to drive. It tracks the road like no other car I have owned and it does corners like it is on rails. When going straight down the road you feel so secure.with little body roll. The engine is smooth without a turbo lag which has become the normal in most cars. The Power comes on in quickly and with good acceleration. The 2002 BMW doesnt have much in electronics but it surprises me how enjoyable driving becomes when you dont have all the distractions from electronic gadgets in your. sight.
February 25, 2020Handles great, goes for what it is. Looks sexy with minor mods. Not expensive, its cheap to maintine. Not boring to drive. Has its noises, but from driving it hard. Car is super fun to drive, only down fall, eats rear tires fast.
