I'd say get a newer M5 and SC it to "hold you over" until the spring. I myself want the new M3 preferrably the sedan but if it doesnt come out I will buy the coupe, but its up to you , your money. Also I think the E39 is a classic design plus 600hp is kick ass, it would smoke a new one. Anyway good luck with your choice!!!
