E39 M5 prices, and comparison to F10

I don't think the two are really comparable, apart from both being M5s. The e39, imo, should be treated as a classic car - it's legendary, capable and pretty reliable but the upkeep (assuming you care about it) simply due to age (in my experience) is crazy.
The f10 is young enough to use and not worry about - I don't think there is any danger of them becoming classics so no real reason to keep the mileage down.

Twenty years ago they probably said the same thing about the E39...

The E39’s party piece (possibly with a fruity zorst) is it’s noise.
Often in my local garage there is an M5 E60 “AGM 500” plate which he has moved to an F10 M5. But there is an E39 M5 and every time he pulls away at the garage he floors it the noise through 1/2nd Gear is very nice (30mph..... lol)
