I've never owned an e39, but if the e39 is anything like my 2001 740 sport, then I'll tke the e39. My 2005 545i just doesn't drive like a BMW. It's more like a sport Benz.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
I've driven the E39 loaner from my indy shop and I have to say that even though the engine sounds sweeter than the E60, I'll take the E60 any day.

Do you have a vagina?
I have an e39 M5 and just recently purchases a 545...very different cars each with their own strengths. For me it's definately the e39, problem is mine is starting to get a little old to be a dd, either way you can't go wrong.

My Ride: 530I Silver gray with gray leather with Premium Package, Logic 7 Premium sound system with Ipod interface, xenon adaptive headlights, Active steering, Power retractable rear sunshade, Comfort seats, Cold weather package and M5 OEM 166 wheels, Sprintbooster. Ceramic Tint all around, Bilstein Sports shocks with Eibach springs, Brake performance Rotors and Axxis ceramic pads.
My previous biimmer is an E39 and what I miss most is the solid ride, better body fit( no squeeks and reattle). Styling wise, and technogy, I will go with my E60
