Ooh tough one! In terms of looks, the E39 5-Series. Engine wise, without a doubt the V10 found E60/E61. Naturally the smartest buy is the current face lifted F90 😛 . M5 is clearly the hot one, but I am torn between the 530e or the M550i 😁 . What about yourself?
@@PorscheCayenneLover I like the 2003 M5 and 540i M sport the most, depending on one's use case! The E39 is the most timeless 5 series to my eyes, and is the perfect size IMO. I am also partial to straight piped V8s, like Parker Nirenstein's (Vehicle Virgins') E39 M5 back when he owned it. That said, I also love the exotic S85 V10 in the E60, and would love to drive it someday!
E60 M5 is definitely the winner in my eyes! The glorious V10 is to die for! But in terms of styling, it'll definitely be the G30 series. But as a middle ground, I would definitely go for an F10 gen M5.
Hi James, I really enjoyed your breakdown of the G30. I'd love to get your take on the driving experience between the 530i and the latest Tesla Model 3 (since I've seen you've reviewed both). I'm in the market for a new ride, currently rolling in an F10 520d. Honestly, I've loved driving this car, but due to its age, I'm contemplating an upgrade. Do you think the Tesla Model 3 / Byd Seal can match the driving experience of a BMW 5 series? Or does BMW still hold that unbeatable fun-to-drive vibe you mentioned - the harmony of every aspect making the drive exceptionally awesome (totally on board with that statement)? Basically, I'm keen to dip my toes into the EV world (with all its advancements), but I'm a bit worried it won't win me over like a BMW does. What's your take on this? Thanks in advance, James. Hope you're doing well!
