I'd say handling but its really the total package: Performance, handling, styling, room, luxury, features, & safety.
Sure there are cars with better handling (Mini, Miata, Porsche, etc) but there are very few luxury sedans that can match the ease at which you can REALLY push the car hard thru a twisty road. Even if they match the grip, they don't match the feel, flatness, and confidence inspiring balance. The '08 550i even out does the E39 M5 in that respect.

I see so many people putting 'Handling' as teh main reason for the E60.
This is a bit crazy.
There are cheaper cars out there which have much better handling.
Perhaps the wuality of the handling given thats it's a saloon and given it's size and weight.
I had an old porker which handled much better than the E60.
What I love about it is the comfort within a beautifully styled body.

It's stealthiness. Deceptively quick.
i like the M-tech kit which changes the look of the car drastically

I love the power, handling, and style/luxury, but what I love most of all are the looks I get when people see me getting into and out of my beautiful car!
