5 series na no regrets yan ! 100% its a very very good car talaga plus iba image mo na lalabas e tsaka may dating parin khit paano you cant go wrong with this car had ours for 4 yrs na no regrets

btw i dont think there is a manual tranny for the e39! manual lang na alam ko is on the m5 pero lahat matic ! pero alam ko mga nasa low 1m to yung 523i yung pre-facelifted version ng e39 on the e46 naman manual is 316i meron nyan nasa below 1m sure ako expecially yung 316i na prefacelifted version goodluck ! pero im sure your budget wont fit wither if 6clyc ang gusto mo coz sa e46 316i 318i 4 cyl both yung 323 or 325 yng 6cycl and sure ako mahal pa to. hope this info helps ! goodluck !
pero sa e39 parin ako !
