I’m guessing 99% of thread responders have never driven an e39 let alone the m5 cs. Lol

To each their own I think we can both recognize, if an objective study was calculated, that the F90 and E39 would score the highest. Both most perfectly fit the distinct look of a BMW super-sedan. |

I wasn't able to max out the performance of my M550i (and previously M340i) without risking jail time. Then I thought what if I bought a slow manual car. Bought a 6 speed manual 140 hp Suzuki for pocket money - the gearbox has such close ratios that I can shift all 6 gears within 50mph (obviously not to redline)! Car is quite fun to max out. Since it's FWD I can't fishtail off the road (could still understeer off though). I can also drive it hard it without risking something breaking and if I get stones flung into it by SUVs/trucks I don't get too upset. I think I need a F87 M2 if I have more pocket money to spend. Best is an opinion. |

Am I the only one that finds it “unfair” that every generation was a well preserved model and the F90 came out with the “super model (cs)
I’m an F90 owner- so no hard feelings. But shouldn’t it have been equally offered models?

Great video. Although, comparison with the CS was not ideal, should have been against a F90 comp.
I love the E39 and F90 designs. But F90 it is considering the overall package! |

Spotted an E60 M5 in Interlagos Blue at valet when catching a flight last week, still looks absolutely fabulous. Engine has to be one of the GOAT.
E39 is nice but feels so dated, E60 has stood the test of time and still looks great today. F10 feels like it could sit between E39 and E60 in the generations, somehow looks older than E60. G90 LCI is a very sharp looking car, just the right amount of nip, tuck and tweaks over the pre-LCI. |

I believe I first called the E60 the "Dame Edna" after the product launch on the island of Sardinia back in 2003. While most automotive writers complained about the "Asian" look of the tail, I couldn't get the Dame Edna glasses out of my mind the second I saw the headlight treatment—and said as much in the first Roundel article on that model.

Why "F10 not LCI or Comp" ?

Comp too low suspension for my neck of the woods, with humps etc, the quicker rack doesn't impress me and the extra 15 hp is nothing. I prefer easier softer ride of the normal one and LCI have just negligable bits and pieces replaced, you have to pay extra for those LED lights which I don't need.

E34 gets my vote, last of the hand built M cars at Garching.
Owned mine for around 4 years, ultimate Q car (sleeper) in its day
