Consumption, Expenses, Chronic Failure and Everything
The fact that premium car models of the 90s and early 2000s can be purchased at B segment HB vehicle prices today has become an important reason for preference. This is why many people prefer luxury and high-volume models, especially models from German premium brands such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes. In this series, we previously tested the Mercedes W140 S320L and W210 E200 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0CRD and 5.2 V8 Limited models. Now it's time for the BMW E39, which many people love so much. However, this vehicle which is used daily stands out not as the 520i, 525i, 528i, or 530i, but the 540i model, which has the highest level engine of the series except the sporty M5 model.
Although the 4.4lt V8 engine in the BMW E39 540i offers great pleasure in daily use, it scares many people in terms of consumption due to its high volume. Many E39 fans do not want to choose this engine for this reason, even BMW enthusiasts. Already it is not easy to find in the market. However, our follower Erdem, who owns the vehicle, has previously used the E39 body 520i and 528i models too. In this way, he will give us a wide E39 briefing in detail. He will also compare the 540i with these inline 6-cylinder cars. This way, we will not only get stuck with the V8-engined E39, but also talk about other engine options.
The BMW E39 540i model, which is the guest of our test, draws attention especially with its interior-exterior color combination. In addition, some changes have been made by the vehicle owner to make it look more special and have a more comfortable daily use. These changes, made by using only BMW original parts, have made the vehicle even more special. We will show you all these changes in detail in our video.
Besides all these; We will also see the performance characteristics of the 4.4lt V8 engine of our BMW E39 540i vehicle such as acceleration and intermediate acceleration. Of course, when we catch such an engine, we will make you listen to its sound from time to time. Of course, we will also talk about real consumption values, chronic problems and maintenance costs in detail. We hope you enjoy our video, enjoy it.
