Did the E60 get a ticket? If not maybe you can appeal on grounds of "age discrimination" wink
Nice pic.

The F90 looks huge next the E60. I think the E60 is better looking as well...

Nice pic.
Presumably it didn't given that it was parked inside the parking bay. I agree cool pic though smile!

Yes, we were staying at the Blythswood Square, (24 hours prior to flying to Europe - we needed an unexpected 500 mile mad dash to the only passport office in the UK able to process my son's passport application after we stupidly let his passport expire).

Nick is a bit a petrolhead so could be his old M5.

I don't think it looks much bigger at all.

Agree the E60 has aged well. I've always liked the looks, and is my favourite M5 just for that wailing V10.

The E60 has aged well but it's not a looker. The E39 and E28 take that. The F10 from most angles looks better than the E60. I am sure the F90 will grow on me like the E60 has, might just take a while though.

Oh I don't know...I think the E60 (both M5 and regular Saloon) are extremely handsome cars.

Just purely on looks I think the E60 M5 is the best of the lot.

Now if someone could kindly build me an E60 M5 with an E39 M5 Engine and manual box then I'd happily open my wallet rather wide and say 'come to daddy'

OOOf that ould be my ideal M car!

Having owned an F10 M5 and F80 M3 then for me, turbo'd M cars are not for me despite the ease of tune and meaty powerbands

I know of someone building an E39 M5 with a manual gearbox and s85.. that would be a fantastic car to have.

E60 and F90 both look fab to me. Slightly off-topic, but I'd do seriously nasty things for an LCI E60 M5 in interlagos blue with a 'box conversion to DCT cloud9

There is work being done on a dct conversion kit I believe.
