Used 2000 BMW 5 Series for Sale near Chicago, IL

One of the nicest cars on the market and very fun to drive. Although maintenance can be a little expensive, it's worth every penny! You won't be disappointed with this car and you'll have a blast driving it wherever you go!

This is one of the best cars i have owned in a long time, comfortable, looked good and was fun to drive!

What's not to love? Driving this car is marginally less fun than sex. Smooth, supple, sure footed, very quiet, awesome stereo system, solidly built, everything works as designed. The seats are comfortable but the back seat leg room leaves something to be desired

This is my 2000 BMW 540i Touring, aka M5 WGN. It is extensively customized as if BMW had produced an M5 wagon for the E39 model (they only made the sedan). It was customized by Dinan Motors in CA: supercharger, suspension, ss exhaust, strut brace. It was then trimmed out as an M5: M5 brakes, wheels, mirrors, steering wheel, interior & exterior trim (including replacing the stock headliner with black felt to mimic the Alcantara leather in the sedan). It's been dyno tested and pulled 400hp. This wagon is fast, luxurious and a proud member of the Roadrunner BMW Car Club in Phoenix.

I purchased this car when I was a Junior in high school. In the 5 years that I have owned this car I have roughly put 50k on the odometer for a total of 71816 miles. For every mile I have driven this car it has been reliable, comfortable, and has gotten me through tricky situations on several occasions with me and the car unscathed. I was rear ended about 2 years ago by a VW Jetta and to my surprise my car was relatively undamaged. Besides having the bumper replaced there was no other major damage. I recently had the transmission flushed and despite the reliability issues of the automatic transmissions that were in early model E39's mine has been perfectly fine. My one complaint about this car would have to be the factory stereo. I am a big fan of loud music and I was disappointed with the sound as a lot of owners are with mid 90's and early model E39's. This didn't really matter too much because since I planned on doing a lot of neat things with this car from the beginning I simply put in an expensive after market system. The one thing that has been great about this car is the maintenance has been cheaper than I expected. Once my factory warranty expired at 50k miles I opted to find an independent garage to work on my car and the biggest thing I had to do was replace the stock thermostat housing with an aluminum after market housing as the factory part tends to fail after a certain amount of time. Other than that minor problem this E39 has stood up to plenty of hard driving and at 72K miles it sure has a lot more in it.
