F10, E60 and E39 M5's All In A Row

I hope all the M5 owners who came out to dinner tonight in Los Angeles enjoyed it as much as I did. It's a terrific group of M enthusiasts and the company and food were great. Here's a photo of some of the cars.

Not to highjack the thread from the LA crew, but here's a few "3 Generations" pictures we took at a C&C event this summer.

I think you are confusing the E60 with an older E Class Mercedes. An honest mistake since both were pretty ugly.

Why does the f10 just stand out soo much to me

I think the e39 and e60 are great in their own right

But that f10 in MCB is a nice step forward

The ugly bastard child of BMW left out of the photo! It's the headlights and the dash that kill it for me.

I thought that until I drove the F10 M5 with competition package. I have owned both cars and the E39 will always have a special place in my heart, but this new version is leaps ahead in every way.

E39 wins for the nostalgia it gives us, but in that case that is especially more so for the E60 V10. Truth be told, I see the E39's in that picture, and I want to go buy one today. I agree with you Greer, this is the best M5 to date, even though it's too heavy for the race track. Lol!

Whenever I watch this, I just get that feeling all over again for the E39.

"Special place in my heart" is spot on. You are right.
As much as I *itched about all the techy things and the weight of the F10, I do like driving it the most.
I do find myself looking for e39 M5's at least once a week.
I have to reach out to the guy that bought mine to see how she is doing.

That's crazy. That's cheaper than my Fiat Abarth.

Yea when the e39 was out, i was just starting to work. I remember having one on my PC as a screen saver and telling people it was my dream car and Id own one some day. For $16k Id buy one if i had an extra spot for it. Im sure it was high miles, but outside looks mint to me.
