Depends what you want I suppose. This thing is the new shape and auto box. Having said that I would prefer an old shape M5 like yours.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Love it so far. 21mpg average, presses on at a half decent rate, and is so comfy.

21 mpg, that's not bad. my legacy only averages 25.

Nice car, and as you say, great value.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Hey Al, great to see you've joined the M family! Would love to get a e39 m5 for the commute to work :)

How you finding it? You spend long looking for the right car?

Here is a pic of my baby e36 m3.



Thoroughly enjoying car ownership once again (after selling the miglia) it had been too long. I just about manage to scrap 35-36mpg feathering the throttle on a long drive, soon as you use the throttle though it sups the juice !
