I would take you up on that. I drive an E39 M5 and it’s the best thing I’ve ever driven, but I’ve always been curious about the V10. There’s something special about those high-revving M engines.

I have a hunch that people who say this haven’t owned either car. My old E90 M3 was the most reliable car I’ve ever owned, and my E39 M5 has been excellent.

I had the exact same question recently - 60k max budget for a daily driver and I hate depreciation. Ended up spending 21k on a 2003 M5 and I don’t think there’s a new car made today I’d rather be driving. And I’ll be saying that right up until the moment when the radiator fan explodes and puts a hole in the hood.

LOL @ everyone in this thread defending their Infiniti purchase. Is complementary Mensa membership one of their new lease incentives?

The craigslist email I always seem to get: “i’ll give u [outrageous lowball offer] cash and I can do tha deal today.”
