BMW M5 E39 history

EVO SAID

 BMW’s third edition of the mighty M5 is dripping with understated menace, and from its gutsy 4.9-litre V8 to its intuitive rear-drive balance, it’s as honest as they come. In fact, with its naturally aspirated engine and manual gearbox, it’s one of the last traditional super saloons.

The E39 arrived in 1998 as a significant, and somewhat controversial, evolution of the formula established by the E28 and E34 M5. Gone was the trademark straight six that had featured in all BMW M cars since the M1, in its place an all-aluminium S62 V8 delivering 394bhp and 369lb ft to the rear wheels. Hyper hatch numbers today, but supercar numbers back then. More importantly though, is that the big-chested delivery and distant baritone rumble invite you to extend it at every opportunity, and its potency feels perfectly matched with the car's responses (and yes, the rear end’s propensity to smear across the tarmac). With its long wheelbase and linear torque delivery, it’s a textbook oversteer machine. 

But the best M5s, and by extension the best super saloons, can dial back the lairiness and contort to the driver’s demands at will, and the E39 is no exception. That it does so without a plethora of driving modes is perhaps its greatest trick – slot into sixth and the motor retreats, and the M5 finds impressive absorption over broken tarmac. The recirculating ball steering system – necessitated by the tight packaging of the V8 – is one of few dynamic weak points, lacking in any meaningful communication but proving surprisingly accurate at a flowing pace.

The E39 was itself a fairly significant update of BMW’s tried and tested M5 formula, forged with 1984’s E28 and continued with great success in 1988 with the arrival of the E34. For the E39 the application of ideas was the same – a muscular athlete in a finely tailored suit – but six in-line cylinders made way for an all-new, all-aluminium V8, branded S62. It was M’s first V8, and BMW’s first to use Double VANOS, which altered the timing of both intake and exhaust camshafts, and like its six-pot predecessors it used a throttle body for each cylinder to precisely meter fuel and air. The march of technology and another 1.1 litres of swept capacity allowed the S62 to deliver a 59 horsepower boost over the outgoing 3.8-litre E34, taking the total to 394bhp.

At nearly five litres, however, the main benefit was torque. Peak power came 300rpm sooner than with the ‘six’, but the V8’s 369lb ft was a considerable increase, and it came in nearly 1000rpm earlier than the E34’s 295lb ft. The engine would fight an overall kerb weight gain of 70kg but still deliver a 0-62mph time of 5.3sec, half a second ahead of its predecessor.

In many respects though, the E39 was evolutionary, from its under-the-radar styling inside and out, to its use of a six-speed manual transmission and mechanical limited-slip differential. Like the E34, it used MacPherson struts up front, now with lighter aluminium control arms, but at the rear was a multi-link set-up, replacing the traditional BMW trailing arm arrangement and giving the E39 a fighting chance of controlling its extra power and torque.

 

 

This is one of the best E39 M5’s we have seen in a very long time, and I am sure the new owner will be very pleased with their purchase.
