2012 BMW E39 M5

2012 BMW E39 M5: The 2000 model year e39 M5 got a few face lifts over the prior year. These cars are easily identifiable with the circular surrounds in the headlamps and the auto leveling bi-xenon low beams. These became a BMW M5 signature element more affectionately known in the BMW e39 M5 community as "angel eyes". And they look really cool, especially at night. Many e39 m5 owners upgrade them with a more color matched LED from aftermarket parts suppliers so they look like the same as the xenon headlights.

Of particular contention is BMW's PDC for e39 m5 - Park Distance Control. These used e39 m5's are actually quite big as cars go - however, they are quite easy to park. Yet, if you shank one of their beautiful wheels, you have created quite a problem for yourself as any off-balancing in any wheel is going to create quite a shudder at high speed and wear out those high performance tires. Fuel economy remains quite low for a 2000 e39 m5.
