It was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1998, but production did not begin until late October of that year. The E39 M5 was produced in much greater numbers making a total of 20,482 made from 1999 to 2003. BMW M produced three versions of the E39 M5, the European LHD and RHD versions, and the North American specification version.
