For its time, it was an impressive vehicle.

It’s still an impressive vehicle. It has something the new M5 does not have….a Soul.

That is awesome, but before my time.
I had the V10 E60 for my 'Ring laps first time there.

Loved driving the 92 Touring that I blasted around the Eifel in. It was noticeably faster than my E30 M-Tech 1 car was and that car has a slew of speed parts on it. Nothing beat the grunt of the S38.

I will say I ate through my fuel coupons fast driving it at speeds in the early 2000's. May a day I would have to buy fuel on the economy when I was in Frankfurt and had to commute back and forth to Bitburg.

Can't help but getting a little teary eyed seeing the E60 Ring Taxi.

I'm still shocked at how affordable the V10 cars are still. It's incredibly tempting.

Those wheels were always a favorite of mine... look so strong and evoke speed standing still
