Looks uninspiring and the smg thats found in most of them is terrible. The e60 is better in every measurable way but i'd pick an e39 every time for no good reason at all. I'm in the minority when i say the e60 isn't the worst m5 though. It's ugly but I think the e28 is uglier. For the cost of ownership of the s38 i'd buy an s85 and delight in a screaming v10.

I was in complete agreement till your E28 comment. Then I stopped reading and disregarded your opinion. jc43089, patsbimmer1 and REKIII 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stanceworks and the motul e28's look cool but a stock e28 m5 just looks meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US M5’s are meh but a proper euro is the tits. How many E60 M5’s are gonna make it to 2-300k though? I’d argue the maintenance costs aren’t that different over the lifetime of the car. I’d still vote e39 as the overall best too though. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... since "terribad" isnt a word, your opinion is invalid about the S85. I wanted to think your ears are broken, but then you mention a 4-rotor so I know they kinda work. patsbimmer1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
