The BMW E39 automobile platform was the basis for BMW 5 Series between 1995 to 2004. BMW 5 E 39 is already fourth generation series BMW 5. Aggressive, unflagging style BMW 5 E 39 earned much praise feedback on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Produced from 1997-2003, the E39 5 Series is one of the most successful and lauded model series in BMW's history. The awards the E39 has won over its seven-year run include four AutoWeek "America's Best" awards, seven Edmunds.com "Most Wanted" awards, six Car and Driver 10Best awards, and a total of twelve Automobile Magazine All-Star awards. In its last full calendar year of sales, the 5 Series set an all-time sales record of nearly 41,000 units in the U.S.BMW's 5 Series' innovative lightweight chassis set new standards for ride, comfort and handling. Most parts are made from aluminum, giving precise and responsive handling for more rewarding driving. Additional innovations include ASC+T, on-board diagnostics, and the option of an on-board monitor with TV, navigation system and computer.

2002 Jaguar S-Type 3.0 V6 Sport Image
Daihatsu UFE-III concept car, Image, Photo n pictures. The Daihatsu UFE-III shown at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show was the 3rd model of Daihatsu's 'Ultra Fuel Economy' concepts, the original was shown at the 2001 Tokyo show.The UFE-III is powered by a diminutive 660 cc Atkinson 3 cylinder engine and two electric motors. Part of the UFE-III's impressive fuel economy can be traced to the aerodynamic bodywork. The flowing lines give the UFE-III a 0.168 Cd figure. Add this to a 440 kg overall weight and it is a recipe for efficiency.The interior of the UFE III is set out in a 1+2 configuration, with two small seats crammed in behind the single central drivers seat. The UFE-III is controlled by steer-by-wire technology. UFE stands for "Ultra Fuel Economy," and this car delivers the name's promise. The UFE-III returns more than 170 miles per gallon thanks to a 0.168 coefficient of drag-the lowest in the world-and a hybrid powertrain comprising a three-cylinder direct-injection engine and two electric motors. Its clamshell-opening roof is pretty cool too. So this car is high technology.
