Without exageration, I can honestly say it's the best car I've ever owned.
It's as quiet as a limousine inside but when you get on it, all hell breaks loose. Ever driven or had a ride at wide open throttle? I strongly suggest you do, you'll be sold. Hell, I remember first driving the E39 540i and thinking it couldn't get any better.

Do it! Another thing to point out, is that I've noticed a fairly large amount of E39 M5 owners who switched to E60 M5s didn't like them and kept wanting to go back. The E60 is faster and more powerful but wasn't near as balanced, raw nor trouble-free as the previous model.

Congratulations!
for new acquisition!Great choice. I'm still in love with my car as the day I bought it. It's quiet but pulls away effortlessly and becomes a beast when asked. Yours has a rare color, I don't think I've ever seen it in person.
Any plans to mod it? Enjoy it in the best of health and if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

It has a ton of modification already done, Im waiting on the folder with the history on the car. I get that monday and will be able to see everything added besides the obvious things like intake and exhaust.

Someday, an RS6 Avant+
The poor man's choice is the 540i 6MT (with the M handling package).
I'd kill for an M5, but I'd die paying to keep it up over here.

I test drove a 540iM 6 speed prior to purchasing the M5 and I thought it was a GREAT car. Felt a tad quieter in general but it would have been my second choice. The V8 pulls pretty hard for what it and like the E39M5 it's becoming a rare sight nowadays.

Nice pick up! I always loved that body style even though the new one is growing on me.
