I almost bought an M5 but eventually got an S4 2003 reg about 4 years ago. I liked the M5 that I test drove, but for once I followed my head rather than my heart and chose the S4. I've enjoyed the S4 (4 years is quite a long time for me to keep a car!), but I still wonder if I'd prefer an M5.

The problem is, I'm worried that if I change to an M5 I might regret it. Unlike if I was buying a newer car, I'm not aware of any way of getting an extended test drive in or hiring out an E39 M5. Hence this rather unusual post!

I guess it's a long shot, but is there anyone out there who fancies swapping their E39 M5 with my S4 for a weekend some time? Obviously we'd need to sort out insurance, and we'd each need to be happy that the other isn't a boy racer who is going to thrash the car. I envisage meeting up for a pint somewhere to talk it through and agree ground rules (which I'd put in writing) and see if we're both comfortable proceeding, and then arrange a subsequent weekend to swap!

I live in High Wycombe and work in Wokingham, so ideally you won't be based too far from one of these places.

Anyway, if anyone is interested, please send me a personal mail via my member profile. Thanks

Damn,your lucky you havent owned one now you will have another several years of motoring joy to look frward to if you get one!

I have had mine for four years and iam struggling to find a realistic alternative to replace it-996t or M6 are the two contenders but they just dont have the same appeal somehow.

It is absolutely miles better than the S4. You will not regret it.
