BMW 5 Series Sedan 5 Series E39 1995 - 2000

Generation Information

Body style: None

Segment: None

The fourth generation of the BMW 5-Series was introduced in 1995.
It was designed from scratch, with a completely new concept in mind. And the result worth it.

After three generations with twin-round headlights, the E39 broke the rules and came on the market with clear glass over the headlights. The car’s designer was Joji Nagashima and the BMW director of the design was Christopher Bangle. The E39 had to prove it can be as successful as its predecessor, the third 5-Series E34.

Unlike its predecessors, the E39 featured smooth and curved lines. It was the beginning of the biodesign era and all cars started to loose their angular shapes. The flowing surfaces and ascending lines of the 5-Series E39 were a revolution for its predecessors and ahead of its main rivals on the market.

Inside the car, there was room for five adults, even if the center rear seat was obstructed by a bulky transmission tunnel. The instrument cluster featured the standard BMW layout with two large dials, two small dials, and a gauge for instant fuel consumption. The air-conditioning and the audio system was offered for the entire range, but only the upper trim levels could have been equipped with high-end audio systems.

Under the hood, BMW 5-series was offered with engine starting with 4 cylinders and went up to a V8 unit. It was equipped with a 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel unit as well. Depending on the engine, it was offered with 5- or 6-speed manual transmission or with a 4- or 5-speed automatic. It wasn’t offered with all-wheel-drive.
