Don't get me wrong the E60 was stunning but the E39 didn't feel so clinical.
So here's a thought...E39, suspention upgrade, spacers, light weight wheels....wonder if the CSL wheels would fit an M5.....mmmmh I see a project coming on.

E39 is a GREAT machine
my second favourite M car and my choice M5
The E60 is an evolution so an improvement over the E39 (some say) but far too complicated, with too much computing power for my liking. I LOVE the honesty of a BIG PHAT V8 with a Manual transmission ... Simpools ... I
the 5 litre 400 bhp V8, the sound
and it's all round capabilities, but it's HEAVY, really HEAVY !!! and no, the CSL wheels won't fit (different hub size I think ) + if you think CSLs brakes are poor, the M5's are worst still, as they have to work much harder. GREAT car and I'd have one as a "Daily" if they did a Touring ( lost opportunity by BMW
) but it'll never be a CSL, especially on track
