Gents,

I've decided that I'm going to change my daily from the current E39 530iA Sport for an E39 M5.

Are any owners on here considering a bit of downsizing? smile

I'd much rather buy a forum owned/run enthusiast car than one of the manky snotters doing the rounds on the 'bay.

So, a super tidy 530i Sport plus some cash for a well cared for M5. Drop me a line.

Just kidding.

I made the exact same move and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. A 530i is a good car but it gets absolutely blown out the water here.

Go for it. Life is too short. I'm going to move mine in in the next 6 months but the guy I bought it from has first refusal.
I run an e39 528i as a daily but it's going too, again already spoken for.
It's night and day between them as far as costs go. Be prepared. The M is just such a great all rounder, had to use it for work today, but used half a tank in 100 miles. Still worth every penny though.
Still undecided as to what to replace it with. I have narrowed the list down to 4.
E60 M5. E60 B5. E90 M3. C63 AMG.
