My Ride: 04 525i, 04 Dinan M3
So I've been trying to decide what I want to get next. I'm really torn what I should get.
I've been looking around on craigslist and found a e39 M5. I could technically afford a e60 m5 but the gas with the way I'd drive it would be so expensive and the insurance would be painful. So the e39 m5 looks like a good alternative. I love the way my car looks but it just is a bit underpowered being a 525, I need power. I found a 2001 in blue and peanut butter for around 11k. What do you guys think? I've thought about 335 but the HHFP problems scare me. I was going to check out the m5 on Saturday

Honestly I would get the 335i....who gives a crap about the HPFP? It's covered for free for 10 years 120000 miles!
