Economy
Value
Another great deal on a 3 year plus car, couldn't except the loss buying new.
Costs
You cant run a V8 on the cheap, get that, servicing costs stupid with main dealers I was quoted £200 for an oil change.

On the road
Driving
5 series offers the best diving position of all BMWs for me.
Performance
Likes its petrol but it is a V8, no real difference to the mpg if you drive hard. Its not as quick as it bigger brothers the 540 or the M5 but its got a load of kick and enough horses.

Living with it
Reliability
I guess there are a few exceptions but I've never had a BMW that has left me stranded.
Image
The sport model looks by far the best of the E39 range and still looks good against the new 5 too.
Comfort
Leather seats are very comfortable but aren't all BM seats.

Security and Service
Security
I'm going to say excellent because I've never lost one yet, touch wood.
Service
the level of service from dealers does not reflect the quality of the product, shame.
