RE: M5

I have had an e39 and it was a fantastic motor, bit tail happy even in the dry but couldn't fault it at all.
There is not many cars with that power/spec/quality for that money.Mine never missed a beat, had it just over a year and all it needed was a tyre. There was a 50k 01 plate going for 9k near me the other day!! I agree that the looks are not very imposing or agressive, but isnt that what some drivers want.? I also agree that they look much much more dated than the e60 but these m5's are still descibed as the ultimate BMW nevermind M5. And mooch is right, they sound awesome with a set of kelleners or supersprints ! :twisted:

To the chap that said it was a bit 'pot, kettle' - I was joking! :)

If you want to see what an e39 can do, watch this :-
