The 2001 BMW 540i E39 is a minor car in Fast & Furious.

History[]

Fast & Furious[]

A BMW 540i E39 belonged to a street racer named Alex. During Arturo Braga's audition race in the Koreatown district of Los Angeles, Alex was tied for third with another racer before being tied for first with Dominic Toretto. In an attempt to win, he began to ram the side of Dom's car a couple of times; however, when he attempted to hit Dom again, Dom hit the gas, causing Alex to hit the median and roll down the street repeatedly, before going through a bridge railing and followed by a hard landing on the roof below, killing him.

Specifications[]

  • Around 11 were made, but only 2 survived filming. They had Eibach suspensions and carbon fiber painted hoods, roofs, and trunk lids -- but no other performance mods.
  • The car featured in the film is actually a standard E39 5 series that has been modified to look like an E39 M5.
