Presented in 1998 at the Geneva Motor Show, creation didn't start until late October of that year. A sum of 20,482 E39 M5s were produced using 1998 to 2003. BMW M delivered three variants of the E39 M5, the European LHD and RHD forms and the North American detail adaptation.
The E39 M5 had an exceptionally tuned V8 motor dependent on the M62 motor called the S62, which dislodged 4.9 L and created 400 bhp (294 kW). The motor included a 7000 RPM redline, Double-VANOS, which changes the admission and fumes valves for both chamber banks, and individual throttle butterflies for every one of the chambers, considering an a lot quicker motor reaction time.
All E39 M5s were outfitted with a Getrag Type D six-speed manual transmission with the accompanying equipping proportions: 4.23(1), 2.54(2), 1.62(3), 1.23(4), 1.00(5), 0.83(6)
It is a similar transmission utilized in the E39 540i yet a few changes were made to adapt to the additional force the S62 motor created. A strengthened grip, back differential using a shorter 3.15:1 proportion and a constrained slip differential with 25% most extreme locking.
The E39 M5 suspension shared its fundamental aluminum-escalated MacPherson swagger/multi-connect plan of the V8 E39 5 arrangement. In any case, a few changes were made by BMW M. Diminished spring stature, 0.9 inch (23 mm) lower. A particular stun valving, thicker front and back enemy of move bars, polyurethane assistant springs and steel balljoints.
Like all V8-fueled E39 models, the E39 M5 was outfitted with a recycling ball controlling framework. Generally speaking guiding proportion was diminished to 14.7 from 17.9 it highlighted a servotronic vehicle-speed-touchy force help that gives two degrees of opposition controlled through reassure mounted Sport button. The E39 M5 is outfitted with four-wheel vented plate brakes estimating 13.6" in measurement in front and 12.9" in distance across in the back. On European-detail models, the rotors are of a "coasting" two-piece plan for diminished danger of twisting. Their lower unsprung weight improves ride quality and footing on uneven surfaces also. Non-freezing stopping devices were standard.
During its 5 years underway, there were some restorative changes, these include:
+ Revised front light structure consolidating enlightened "Heavenly attendant Eye" rings
+ Jeweled tail light structure
+ Park Distance Control sensors in the front guard (beforehand in back as it were)
+ Thicker three-spoke M directing wheel indistinguishable from the one fitted to the E46 M3
+ Gray instrument board
+ Improved sunlight based sensor for standard programmed atmosphere control
+ Revised route/sound unit with bigger (6.5-inch) screen
+ Rear head insurance airbags included
+ Second-age M Mobility tire fix framework instead of prior form
+ Available M Audio System with unique tweeters, Kevlar/carbon coaxial speakers and two subwoofers behind the back reassure
+ Alcantara main event included with Extended Leather inside (already just included with Complete Leather)
For the ensuing two model years, changes were constrained to the expansion of new outside hues (from 9/01 creation) and the move up to a DVD-based route framework (from 9/02 creation).
The E39 M5 is fit for quickening from 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds and electronically constrained to a top speed of 155 mph, making it the quickest 4-entryway car on the planet around then.
