Life is short. Enjoy it.

I say dump the 535d and just go with an M, but again, thats just my opinion.

I would sell the 535d and buy an LCI M5 and use it as a everyday car, it's great in my opinnion and if you can afford an M5 , I guess you definetely afford the gas consumption.

I say buy the M5, but an e39 version. Then trade the 535d in for a brand new M5. Drive the brand new one everyday until the warranty runs out then switch. Or.... buy a brand new M5 and use the 535d to drive homeless people back and forth to the soup kitchen, that aughta help your soul rest easy.

This is stupid. You don't buy an M5 for the gas milage, and the gas savings of driving the 535d is quickly offset by having to MOT and Insure the 535d AS WELL AS the M5.

Just dump the 535d and go with the M5.

Keep life simple.

I'm betting once you have the M5.. it will be more than a weekend car. You're always going to want to drive it, but then again.. it's meant to be driven. GO for it!
