No, I haven't found a nice one yet. Now that I'm seriously looking for one I can't find one with less than 100,000km on it. However, my ideal combo would be a 2003 Le Mans blue with black interior. However, '03 M5's are so scarce in South Africa, I doubt that I'll find this exact spec. But I won't stop my search. :D @e39 m5: Yep, this car has achieved classic status in my mind already.

Nice site and theme!! Anyway I couldn't agree with you more about the e39 series m5 vs. the e60. I've driven both and still like (and own) the e39. It's an awesome car and the "simpleness" you articulate in your good post here not only helps keeps costs down (just wait until all the e60 m5's start coming out of warranty!!!) and make it more connected to the road in my opinion. Anyway - have you bought one yet?? Let me know - I'd love to know what colors, price, etc. Cheers! Hey Johann! Nice site and theme!!

Too many fussy details. The replacement M5 due in 2011/2012 should look cool again though. @CoolBreeze: Nah, the E60 looks kinda weird. Too many fussy details.

I also think that its a great car... but personally the E39 just doesn't look good enough to me... Wish they could put the new body on the old car... :) Cool post man!
