YES!

I wish I could ask for my old one back!

Quit your fanboyism, you faggots - the E60 M5 6spd is better. So was the 6spd D2 S8, which wasn't plagued with Vanos diseases like the E39 M. In fact, none of them had any trouble at all during its 7 year cycle.

E60 M5 is about as ugly a car can get, thanks to the now departed Bangle.

And let's not even talk about how many BMW mechanics (dealer and independent) have warned me to never own one without some sort of warranty.

What do you think my answer is? Classiest f%$kin car I've ever owned (though I've only owned four cars). In all seriousness, I've been meaning to post the results of my recent e39 M5 service for those interested in picking one up. I'll get that done this weekend :D

Joxy, we don't get 6sp here, otherwise I would have to agree with you... but until that happens.. the E39 was the only BMW I have ever driven that made sense to me!

I haven't driven the E60, but the power curve is interesting compared to the e39. The E39 has about the same torque, but it comes lower down. The e60 is a faster car, but you have to rev it more to get the speed. In my opinion the lower oomph is more befitting to the luxury sport sedan feel.

Hell yeah it is... what a car!

I'm actually debating picking one up as my daily right now.
