Is the 1999 528i same body style as the 1998?

I'm asking because this ad on EBay is for a 99-2005 but I thought the 98 was the same body style.

call the dealer and check the part number to make sure it will work in your car. The e39 went from 1996-2003, so 98 and 99 should be the same. Sometimes things can change mid production of a chassis, so be safe and check.

They are indeed the same, however the BMW part number for the trunk cargo net for both cars, 98 and 99 five series sedans is 82269405300 and MSRP is only $75.00. Maybe the part number has changed, regardless both are the same. Bav Auto has the net with the same part number I quoted and it retails for less than $60.00 there. Try Bav Auto here

thanks for that info- funy thing, but I notice that some of dealer prices on certain items are not bad...
