TerminatorX5 is on a distinguished road
i think it is the closest non-M E39 to the actual M5... if i remember right, at the end of E39 production the M Gmbh had too many M5 parts left over on the shelves, and they just threw them on that version of the E39...

the 4.6is and 540 M-technik are two beasts in different categories... the choice is yours... do you like sitting low? or high? do you like a rear sports car? or a real sports truck? which one fits your size? with my belly, i fit nice in high posture of the E53... when i drive my wife's 2012 335, it is a bit too low.. but damn, that thing is much faster than the 4.8 that i got...

the choice is yours...

or...

keep both!!!
