She's had 2 E65s and now an F01 since then, so she's happy. But she still talks about her 5. That car is the reason I think we'll always have an E39 in the family. We had a CPO 2000 528i while we had the 530 and now we have an E39 M5 in Carbon Black/Caramel with 44k on it,
e39 widely regarded as among the top BMWs ever, and by it's owners present and past as probably the best ever, can't disagree with you on this one. I've never had one but I live in a pretty nice area and there are still people holding onto these guys don't think the current 5 does anything for them.
