E39 M5 is such a perfect car, beautiful inside and out without any extra gimmicks, perfectly balanced... just an incredible feat of engineering and design from BMW.
Tiffs television career started in the mid 1980s as part of the BBCs motor racing commentary team, where he worked alongside Murray Walker. In 1987 he joined Top Gear as the performance car specialist and presented some quite legendary road tests of cars like the McLaren F1
Actually, Tiff was the main presenter for Top Gear until the series was cancelled in 2001. In 2002 the series was restored with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond, joined in 2003 by James May, and it stayed like this till today. After Top Gear cancelled, Tiff and the rest of Top Gear went ahead and started another motor show, called Fifth Gear (now Top Gear's main rivals), and he continues presenting that show nowadays as well.
No, they aren't rivals. Even though JC accused Fifth Gear for buring their Sofa, they are different shows- Top Gear usually tests Sportscars, Supercars and hypercars, Fifth Gear ends up with everyday cars. Hence the difference.
That's why it's amazing. A friend of mine flew off the higway with 180kmph, the car flipped arround 9 times and it fell on tyres. Yes, it was destroyed, but he and his car were able(alive and in condition) to start the engin and move it to a side. He got a broken rib. That's why heavy is not bad for powerful car...it's about the safetyness...You don't want to pull this stunt with a 1200kg japanese car, trust me :P
E39 M5 was the best M5 I think, it's output per litre and it's rev limit were actually quite low for an M car, but everything else on the car made is awesome, and that's not to say the engine was underpowered, just that 80bhp/l is a bit low for an M car, mind you, has basically the same torque as the E60 M5.
@deathman020 how do you like your 5 series in the snow? im about to buy a e39 m5, but the two wheel drive factor scares my wife a bit... and scares me to think of her driving it in the snow, couldn't bear watching it get scratched lol
that was a good m5... hope the next generation m5 is as good cuz the current one.. just doesnt convice me or other drivers. ir is it that stupid looking inflated fat body it has... maybe thats it.
this m5 is the best looking m5 so far.the e60 looks inflated and has way too much computer rubbish.all m5 should be simple like the original.big engine in front,rear wheel drive@the back and 4 doors in the middle.this is great compared to the e60.
Actually, from experience this was one of the best things BMW did. Sounds odd.
Have you ever noticed that when driving at speed, your wipers drag the rain back across? This means that you have an inch or two of rain blurring your vision. The wipers operating in a curve means that this effect is occurring on the passenger side, not the drivers - means you have better vision. Thats what i found. I prefer them that way, but thats my opinion.
It appears that it does that to both to me and probably to BMW as well. They haven't reversed it here yet. BTW you can use rainx and you don't even have to turn on the wipers at speeds above 55mph
No for lhd they don't reverse them, you get them the conventional way. I cant be bothered with rainx. Its more expenditure, and I'd rather have wipers that work. Anyway, with a rainsensor, they come on anyway - you have no choice.
I just prefer them the unconventional way - im sure you can see why!
Thats Top gear. Fifth Gear never existed in 1999. The copyright thing above says BBC. Fifth Gear started in 2000, new top gear started after the first series of fifth gear.
Is it just me or does it look VERY difficult to get it sideways at the beggining? And once he did get it sideways it just oversteers and goes into a spin...
Doesn't matter how much it weighs when you have BMW handling and that much torque to the rear wheels. Fucks wrong witcha
