Other Choices:

The Audi S6 has a massively powerful V-8, but it's still a step slower than the BMW. The newly minted 500-horsepower Jaguar XF-R is far more handsome. The Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG comes closest to the performance of the BMW M5 and looks better going about it.

    While so much has already been said about the e60 m5 - one thing that people tend to forget is how incredible the car really is in terms of it's ability to perform dual duty as track monster and also the daily driver ability.
    Chris Bangle did the brand few favors with the e60's clinical look and the excess techno wizardry does disconnect the driver somewhat from what the driving experience is all about. The e34 m5 and the e39 m5 were far more connected to the road, with less "interference" from technology.
    I happen to feel that the e39 m5 is STILL best balance of M Power, driving experience and modern day technology.
    Further, with the price of the E39 m5's on the market today - bang for buck is tremendous.
