funds permitting also means resale isnt an issue - you're buying the car for the car, nothing else.

i'd go B5 - alpina know what they're doing. i trust them.


(also, you'd be more unique - M5s are going to start showing up everywhere).

I think I would take the Emmy, because it's the "real" deal. But I think the B5 is the better car.
