BMW M5 E 39 Series German Muscle Car

Graeme Franklin
BMW M5 E 39 Series German Muscle Car

The Need for Speed games franchise has a lot to answer for. Playing Need For Speed Hot Pursiot 2: Underground led me to buy the E39 M5 that I have owned for six years. The M5 was my car of choice on the game and in reality it seems! I am sure there are others out there that can relate to this phenomenon, it is a visible trend that some cars featured in games and films over the last three decades have had a huge gain in popularity.

As a closet American muscle car fan, the M5 with its 400 bhp V8 was my ideal European counterpart. Not only does it have a soundtrack to compete with America’s finest, it also has a luxury feel and fantastic road dynamics. I am a BMW fan through and through, I have been since as long as I can remember, so a V8 from Mercedes-Benz or anyone else didn’t factor in my buying process. I was in the fortunate position of not needing a car for a daily commute, due to working from home. This gave me the flexibility to choose a car I actually really wanted, that wasn’t a compromised choice in any way. The V8 powered M5 had always been a dream car for me, so seeing that they were in reach of my budget I started the hunt to find my car.
