Explore the 2002 BMW M5

Most Realible Car I have owned.

I have had several other cars in my last 40 years. I have had BMW X3, 323 but by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a seda. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology!

Dream car that I can't say anything bad about

Performance, handling, feel and design of car are all excellent and no other car has this combo in my opinion. As reliable as a 16 year old BMW could possibly be, which means eventually most things have to be replaced or repaired.

Most fun in a four door sedan ever!!

I needed a four door car because of a resent addition to my family. I am a huge BMW fan and the e39 m5 was a car I?ve always wanted own. It truly is an amazing experience driving this four door beast. With its manual transmission and 369 foot pounds of torque it accelerates with such ease and joy for the driver. If you are in the market for a fun driving car that can fit the whole family you have to check out the e39 m5.

Best Super Sedan for 2000's. Very exciting driver

The BMW M5 is very exciting car to drive. The M5 years 2001-2003 will likely be the last of the naturally aspirated manual V8's. The car has variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust cams which matches very well with the six-speed manual transmission and the 5.0 liter V8 engine. Independently controlled throttle body for all 8 cylinders as well. Styling is also excellent - still looks great today.

///M5UBLIME

The best car I have ever driven. Hands down! E90 M3 a close second but the E39 M5 is, in my view the ultimate 4 door sports sedan!

The best car I have drove and owned

It is the best car for the price in the market if you buy a BMW with less than 65,000 miles. For the same price, you will buy a car that is not for many years like this.

Best Sports Sedan

The E39 M5, arguably the yardstick by which performance sports sedans are measured. Sure, it may not have all the electronic gizmos (who needs 'em?), but this car packs a punch unlike any others. Sleek and powerful, with plenty of torque available in all regimes. Roomy and comfortable, driver-oriented, fast. Very reliable, with just about any repair procedure available through the forums. I've owned nine BMWs to date, and this one's the best, hands-down.

THE BEST CAR IN BMW

This is a safe, nice, power and comfortable car built by BMW. One advantage of this car, you never loose money, the price of this kind of car is going up with time.
