Having both the E39 and E60 in the family I have to say both are brilliant at what they do. They sound amazing...that V10 screams like an F1 car. The V8 is just filth...NASCAR. I prefer my E39.

Interesting, can I ask why you prefer the E39 when you have the option of either to drive in the morning?

I prefer driving a manual and enjoy the V8 rumble. The E39 is a simple car. Once the engine is warmed up the only button I need to press is the sport button (any sooner and I'd probably be kangarooing at a few traffic lights). My skills probably aren't up to switching off the esp on a public road...and it is my car.

The E60 is pretty loud and I really do think the SMG suits that car.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy driving both cars - they both have me grinning and turning back to look at them when I walk away.

Here's the model E34. I have bought two, one Avus blue with the aftermarket clear indicators and shadow line window surrounds, and a white one with the rear wing, orange turn signals and chrome window trim. They will make any colour combination and trim Spec you want: http://tmtmodels.eu/bmw-m5-e34-by-tmtmodels-for-lu...
