The BMW E39 is the fourth generation of the BMW 5-Series range of executive cars, which was manufactured from 1995 to 2004. It was launched in the saloon body style, with the estate body style (marketed as 'Touring') introduced in 1996. The E39 was replaced by the E60 5-Series in 2003 and E39 Touring models remained in production until May 2004. The proportion of chassis components using aluminium significantly increased for the E39, and it was the first 5-Series to use aluminium for all major components in the front suspension or any in the rear. It was also the first 5-Series where a four-cylinder diesel engine was available.
