The E39 M5 has those classic lines, (kind of reminds me of the 3rd gen maxima) the interior is gorgeous and s62 motor in the e39 m5 has torque everywhere. Here are a few pics of the M5 with the maxima

I completely forgot about me asking you about your E39 3 yrs ago, lol! Glad to see you picked the E39 over the E60. Though I haven't seen many problems from the E60 lately. I know the E39 Vanos give issues but if you got the money to replace it then do it. You can rebuild it yourself followed by 2-3 engine oil flushes to clear the oil feed passages and then it's all good. Buddy of mine has an '03 as well in the nice blue color. I recently acquired the F30 328i. But I really want to see your car finally done. Keep it up!
