It’s been more than a decade since the E60 BMW 5 series debuted and most will agree that time hasn’t been too kind to that design. Too often, what is radical and forward thinking at a certain time becomes another man’s dated design a few years down the road. For many, however, the E39 5 series was the watershed for BMW’s mid-sized sedan. It brought us one of the most beloved M5s of all, packing a 4.9 liter V8 mated exclusively to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Offered in both sedan and Touring format with a wide range of engines, the bread and butter model would be the 530i, which could be optioned with a Sport Package for those looking to tart up their ride with some M bits, tighter suspension and more aggressive wheel and tire package. This 530i for sale in Arizona looks sharp in monochromatic Royal Red with the Style 66 alloy wheels.

Some might deride this 530i for not having the right gearbox, but many would employ such a car as their daily driver and currently, this 530i represents a good value and a way to look like a million bucks on the cheap. The 3.0 liter inline-6 is a pretty bulletproof lump and with the 5-speed automatic, you could relax in traffic and just enjoy the smooth torque curve of this 5er. These E39s avoid a lot of the later electronic systems that might plague one down the road, most notably the early iDrive system which wasn’t exactly user friendly. There’s not a lot of non-M E39s out there with under 75,000 miles, so this 530i represents a chance to get a fairly good one at a somewhat reasonable price.
