There were some stock E39s that were actually M series. The way to distinguish them is the sport mode transmission and the DRC (I think that was the abv.) on the radio system. They have M not M5 badges.

I don't think thats an M edition e39, the sport or M package cars came with black trim on the bumpers and around the windows where the normal e39 came with chrome trim. Just looks like some fool trying to pass of a normal e39 as a M5, he should just be happy owning the best sports sedan ever made.

I have an m sport package 540i e39 and that is definitely not an m sport package car. My car also did not come with any m emblems on the outside.

Wow... it's ridiculous how a simple ///M badge can start up such a thread or even ruin some people's day.
It's on the license plate guys.
