MPG
I have always gotten 23 to 29 mpg with this model 540i m sport. Great automobile, very fun and very fast.
Cup Holders? Yikes!
Awesome ride. Can't add more to what has already been said. Speed, comfort, handling this car has it all. The cup holders are a laugh aren't they?

Own it till it stops
Have owned 5 series since '85 - 528e, 535is, M5, u name it. This car has been the best of the lot. Beautiful classic exterior and interior lines - 2.8L is BMW's most reliable in-line 6 with plenty o' power (yes the M5 clearly is the pocket rocket, but 2.8 can get up and go and is easier on the gas guzzling.) The E39 is also the last 5 model without the ridiculous iDrive computer, which is completely unneccessary for driving, a safety hazard and blight on the dashboard. No major repair issues to date. When this stops running, I'll buy another used E39.
pros and cons
This is the best driving car I have ever owned. However, the Audi A6 had better interior ergonomics. I know that many people like the exhaust roar of the engine, but more sound dampening in the interior to eliminate the noise would enhance the total luxury driving experience.
Amazing Bimmer!
This car has the sport/premium package and what a difference it makes. The car handles like a dream, equally balancing sport handling with a luxury feel. The quiet, smooth ride makes you want to go around the block one more time. The car has 33K miles and accelerates just like new. Best Car I've ever driven - beats Lexus, Audi and Mercedes, hands down.
