Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Car is very comfortable, quiet, spacious and robust enough to withstand. If maintenance is carried out in a timely manner, then it serves very well. E39 is series 5model 5, it's providing driving pleasure, despite fact that this model began producing prior to 22 years.
Cons: A typical problem is corrosion (even for very well maintained car), consumption in city around 12-13 litres. Very high spare part price, taking into account age of car.
