[hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_INBgC9jFM[/hd] My favorite-yet-not-completely-out-of-reach supercar. Either the M5 or the E39 540i M Sport... *heavy breathing*
The E39 M5 is also on my bucket list. There's never been a better time to buy them either - you can get a runner for about £5,000 and a minter for less than £15,000.
The sound is by far the coolest thing about this car... I was maybe expecting a slightly quicker 0-60 out of a blown v10 but hay.
[QUOTE=Mister_Jack;46909517]The sound is by far the coolest thing about this car... I was maybe expecting a slightly quicker 0-60 out of a blown v10 but hay.[/QUOTE] You'd be wrong! The M5 has a 4.9 liter V8, and the 540i has a 4.4 liter V8. However... a V10 on one of these would be GLORIOUS!
Still think the E39 is the last the of the nice looking BMWs, after that they went fat as fuck and stupidly curvy and it just looks bad. Nevermind how heavy and button happy the newer ones are now, fucking buttons for everything and nothing.
How much?

I miss the old shark nosed BMW's, you can pick up a 635 for around 10 grand these days, it's on my watch list. [img]http://www.bigcoupe.com/phpBB2/files/bmw_635_csi_web_458.jpg[/img]

Also the newer v10 sounds too racecarish to me with its high pitch scream, I just like something a bit more meaner sounding. :v:
The i6 makes a good datsun engine until it needs the $16k rebuild

Makes the M5 sound like a Lambo. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqPwuXFS-3w[/media]
personally i love E36s [img]http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm252/boomersooner523/IMG_1134.jpg[/img]
It's a pretty nice car. But I highly prefer the E28 or E34s.
