1999 BMW M5 Retro Review | A hero worth meeting:
. The E39 generation lives in that little period of time when the sheer performance of cars was growing at a rapid pace, but before electronics became king.
I’m a little less enthused at what BMW thought interior beauty looked like in the late 1990s and early 2000s, though. Step inside the E39 M5, and the mahogany-look wood trim paneling tries for luxury and quality, but looks dated and tired today. The same goes for some other interior niceties. BMW got adventurous with technology, so it’s no surprise to see that said technology is more of a hindrance than a helper in 2022.
The first time you floor it is simply illuminating. It pulls like a banshee all the way up to redline, and the noise is a combination of pure muscle with a heavy dose of intake sounds, as the engine breathes through those eight individual throttle bodies. Each gear is long enough to savor the engine’s splendor, but not so long that you’re wishing for shorter gears. There doesn’t seem to be a weak part of the rev range.
