My Ride: 2008 Silverstone II E60 M5 2012 E70 AW X5 50i Sport w/ LCI Aero Kit and Rocker Panels
I loved my E39. I had an E39 530i Sport in Jet Black. I was so in love with that car that when I saw the E60 for the first time, I was pretty much convinced that I would buy out my E39 after the lease ended and not move into the new model. Looking back though, I'm so glad I didn't do that. As great as the E39 was and as classic as those lines were on the car, I loved both of my E60's much, much more. When I see an E39 on the road now, I think how outdated the car looks. The only E39 I still enjoy seeing on the road though, is the E39 M5. That to me, is still one of the best looking sedans ever made.
Of course you did, you mod whore!!!!

I eventually replaced the suspension with H&R Sport and Bilstein struts, and the wheels with 19" staggered set of M-Parallels.

C, I agree that the E39 M5 still looks good, but if it was parked next to an E60 M5, it would be no contest. The E60 looks way better. But, that's just my opinion.

I've always preferred the E60 to the E39. 
But, my first love as far as BMW's go was an E9 3.0CSi! GREAT looking car!!

Love your car Mitch...Just need tinted windows and an M-Appearance package and you are set. Keep your 124s. They're hot! I'm keepin' mine.
My plans are to get the M-Appearance package. I am keeping the 124s for now. I can't afford new rims. But I would like something else later. But I will still have my 124s.
I love your car too.

I'm an e39 fan. I prefer the interior, exterior, and handling compared to the e60. The one thing the e60 has going for it is i drive. Don't get me wrong i obviously like the e60. It was the 1st car Chris Bangle Desiged that i actually liked.
