@@pablonator3000able E39 M5 wasn’t technologically impressive. It was an old school BMW far more related to E38 (previous generation 7-series) in technology. E65 7-series was the beginning of new era for BMW. Definitely the most advanced and modern BMW of its time.

E39 M5 was and remains PEAK BMW. Everything else afterwards just strayed too far away from its winning formula.

This is my favorite bmw, my grandma had this car, when she passed away it sat for 15 years, it’s currently my daily driver, I fixed it up and fixed some cosmetic issues and it still looks good today.

Owned this for many years. I really loved it. These are amazing cars that can hold up with modern vehicles fairly well - you just don’t get Bluetooth or a backup camera, but everything else from cooled seats to night vision to adaptive cruise control was all available for these cars! I’m sure this iDrive _was truly_ difficult for the older people who bought this car, but for anyone millennial like myself or a late gen-X, this iDrive was/is extremely easy to get used to, especially since this is the norm in new cars today. They also showed a pretty much base model interior. Most were equipped with 22 way comfort seats and cooling + massage.
