2003 BMW 5 Series

Best BMW ever made
If you research this car (E39 Model) you'll see BMW aficionados say this is the best one ever made. Supple ride but fantastic handling due to aluminum suspension. Fuel economy is good for a 4.4 L engine. 300,000 miles are not uncommon with this car if serviced properly. They have held their value well due to their build quality. If you can afford one, get one!

2003 BMW 5 Series

Trim: 540i M
by SuperSedan on 02-18-2016
Comfortable, affordable and fast
Of all the BMWs I have owned, the 2003 540i M is the best bang for the buck, the last year of the classic BMW body style. I was drawn to the black interior with the black headliner and sunshades. It just looks great inside especially at night. The headlights too are unique and have many different settings for highway or in town. Great on the highway, or any road for that manner. When you want to pass or get into traffic, you get there, fast! Synthetic oil changes are expensive but are good for 10k. The M 540 is a BMW factory souped up car with out the high cost of an M5 in a similar year. The newer BMWs are extremely expensive to maintain and are unreliable, 2003 540i M... Great car, if they made this model unchanged today I would buy one.

2003 BMW 5 Series

Trim: 540I
by Oliver_Gu on 01-05-2015
Best in 5 series
Fast 6 seconds to reach 100 kilo per hour best driving experience ever! You can use 87 grade gas not affecting performance. Back seat middle could be more spacious. The trunk is deep and safest because you can lock the backseats and wheels! Had this for 5 years could drive for 5 more years .

Ouch! owned my beast for 13 months, bought it with only 150000 so should have driven great.....$7000 into repairs in the time i owned it!!!!!! THAT'S over 500 a month!!!!!! and averaged 20 MPG combined with PREMIUM fuel! I wouldn't suggest this car to anyone ever...fun to drive and an impressive sports sedan, but stick to appreciating it from a distance, never own one! reliability isn't even in its vocabulary!

2003 BMW 5 Series

Trim: 530I M-sport interior
by Bimmer2003 on 01-14-2013
Excellent car
This car is extremely comfortable and it's amazing the amount of technological advances and options it has for an almost 10 year old car. A pleasure to drive, very sporty feel and cruises on highway extremely well. Very stable and sporty feel. This is the last yer of production for the E39 style and I believe it is timeless in it's design.
