The BMW E39 is the fourth generation of the BMW 5 Series range
of executive cars, which was manufactured from 1995 to 2004. It
was launched in the sedan body style, with the station wagon
body style (marketed as "Touring") introduced in 1996. The E39
was replaced by the E60 5 Series in 2003, however E39 Touring
models remained in production until May 2004.
The proportion of chassis components using
aluminium significantly increased for the
E39, and it was the first 5 Series to use
aluminium for all major components in the
front suspension or any in the rear. It was
also the first 5 Series where a four-cylinder
diesel engine was available. Rack and
pinion steering was used for four- and six-
cylinder models, the first time that a 5
Series has used this steering system in
significant volumes. Unlike its E34
predecessor and E60 successor, the E39
was not available with all-wheel drive.
The high performance E39 M5
sedan was introduced in 1998,
powered by a 4.9 L (299 cu in)
DOHC V8 engine. It was the first
M5 model to be powered by a V8
engine.
Development for the E34's successor began
in 1989,[citation needed] and ended in
1995. The final design by Joji Nagashima
was selected in June 1992[8][9] and later
frozen for production under new design
chief Chris Bangle. With design selection in
1992, the series development phase began
and took 39 months until start of
production. The domestic German design
patent was filed on 20 April 1994, with an
E39 prototype.[10]
In May 1995 BMW published the first official
photos of the E39. The E39 premiered in
September 1995 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. In
December 1995 sales of sedan models began on
the European mainland. Production of
wagon/estate models began in November 1996.

The E39 was one of the first vehicles (alongside


the E38 7 Series) to have curtain airbags, which
protect the occupants' heads in a side impact.
[16] Standard equipment on the launch models
included dual front and side airbags,
pretensioners and load limiters for the front
seatbelts, anti-lock brakes, traction control,
power steering, and air conditioning. Satellite
navigation was also available, initially using maps
on CD-ROMs, then moving to DVD maps in 2002.
Several models were available in Sports or
Executive trim levels.
