We own it and know the car pretty well. We keep spending money on the usual stupid repairs but it's still a fun SAV/SUV to drive. Not a bad situation to be in.
Selling the M5 can be chocked up to a mistake but I was looking to simplify my garage and get away from taking care of 3 cars.

I have 2 little ones so my cars are always rolling disasters inside and the X5 is the perfect hauler for me. But still looking every now and then for another E39 M5 or even E60 manual. We'll see. Good luck!
