I have a beautiful 2004 530i 65000 miles. If you have read my other posts you have seen my complaints and problems with the car. They are not very big, but i am thinking of switching to a 2002 m5 with 20000 less miles. What are the pros and cons. I know the body is different and that there are less options. But what am i missing? Any opinions? 
thanks
Mike

compared to the 530 you have? Not missing anything but much to gain! I love the E39 M5... GO FOR IT!

E39 all the way. That body style is totally classic, and the M5 has more HP than a new 550. I really wanted an E39 M5 when I was looking at my 545, but I wanted an extended warranty so I went with the E60.
I know someone who had an E39 530, and he had integrated phone in it (it wasn't bluetooth, but it is possible). I also assume you could probably hook up an ipod through an auxiliary port or CD changer or something. You won't lose much tech wise vs. a standard 530.

It looks like the 2002 it too expensive. Were there any differences from 2001 to 2002? Whats the 0-60 on a 2001 M5?
Thanks
