After more than 15 years after its introduction, the E39 M5 is about to reach the legendary status for BMW. It's widely regarded as one of the best all-around driver's cars ever made and for good reason: it paired a 400-horsepower, naturally aspirated V8 engine with incredibly agile handling and enough space to comfortably fit five passengers.
But are the consumers looking back on the E39 M5 through rose-colored glasses?
Actually, no. According to Road & Track, reliability issues aside, this is the kind of car that still impresses people who drive all the best modern performance cars available. It's a car that was much better than it needed to be at the time and one that's still a delight to drive in a way few modern cars are.
Oh, and it sounds really good too, especially with a muffler delete.
