One of my mates had one of these (exactly like this) and I never got round to driving it (doh).

That looks familiar!

I'm hoping someone from the Bimmersport community will buy and continue to love it.

If you have any questions, please PM me.

Talking with the guys @Driscoll Motors yesterday and in their opinion E39 M5 or Merc W211 E55 are *the best* performance sedans to own.

If I hadn't bought *both* my BMWs in the last 9 months .... very tempting to replace E60 with this!

[Neal 544]

car dealer warned me off high km e55 compressors. He had a warranty claim for $20k for a customer to replace the active rear shocks and a couple of suspension bits in the rear. He won't sell them anymore . I do however know two owners that have had theses from new without issues.

I think the M5 would be a safer bet in this regard.

E39 M5 would be cheaper for sure, its a relatively simple car in comparison to the E55. Air shocks on the W211 are getting cheaper, with a factory reman option available now, but still a lot more than the standard shocks in an E39.

A well looked after E55 is good, especially with a warranty, but nothing on a decent M5.

What are people's thoughts about the E60 M5 - decent few around and as low as $30k...

^gas guzzling consumable maintenance money pits. That I badly want to thrash.

I hope trademe tyre kicker 'mufan' leaves you alone

An Avus e39 M5 is pretty close to perfection on that platform. Lusty.

I know someone who had one. Lucky to get 200km out of a tank if that concerns you. Melted brakes and tyres like butter. 

Edit to be clear ^ E60 M5.

I love E39 M5 and think they are a good buy, but I'm just an internet fanboy...
