Review: 1996 BMW 5 Series

Although it's still early, 2016 marks a very special year for one very special reason: The 20th anniversary of the fourth generation E39 BMW 5 Series. And it was all those years ago that Motoring TV's Brad Diamond was in Vienna, Austria, to drive the then-new 1996 BMW 5 Series, what is quite possibly the best 5 Series to date. (This segment originally appeared on Episode 4 of Motoring 1996.) **Watch full episodes of Motoring TV at MotoringTV.com**
