Model history

The BMW M5 of the E39 generation was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1998 and was offered exclusively as a sedan. At the heart of the vehicle was the newly developed 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine with 400 hp, which ensured superior performance. To simplify production, the European and North American models differed only in a few details such as turn signals, catalytic converters, and brakes. While a sunroof was optional in Germany, it was standard equipment in the US. A total of around 20,500 vehicles were produced, almost half of which were destined for the North American market. In 2000, the M5 received a facelift as part of the model update of the E39 series. Until it was replaced by its successor, the E60, in 2005, the M5 E39 remained the most powerful model from BMW M GmbH.
