GregS said Very good, still light on the EVery good, still light on the E39 This is an updated edition of an earlier work. The additional information on the E39 (1997-2003) is very good, but it still a little thin compared to earlier models. They are also not covered very well in the last chapter on buying a used 5-er. The book is otherwise full of excellent information on the 5 series line. The author spends a great deal of print on the `Super' editions by aftermarket tuners which is great for those really looking for a collectable car. The book uses the King's English, but it isn't too distractin. 9. This is an updated edition of an earlier work.

But I bought the book, specially, for the buying guide for the E39, but unfortunately, the buying guide does not incluse this model, which was a tremendous dissapointment. But still, a good resding for the enthusiast, nevertheless.. Chris Lydiksen said Good Book about a Good Car. Informative book about the production span through the EGood Book about a Good Car Informative book about the production span through the E39. Has a buyer's guide and a nice color photos section. Would have appreciated many more color photos, but this is not a pictorial. Would also like to have owner testimonials. Specific enough information to be valuable to a BMW 5 enthusiast, but too much info for a general enthusiast.. 9. Has a buyer's guide and a nice color photos section.
