Auto Digest Speaks Out On The E39 M5

The E39 M5 gets an automatic entry in the debate for best sedan ever made - if not best vehicle ever made period. The design is timeless. The build-quality is superb. The performance speaks for itself. This is a car that does EVERYTHING right. Press the "Sport" button to invoke mind-bending acceleration and seemingly inexhaustible grip. The braking is par excellence. The frame has a rigidity akin to the Hoover Dam. Response, whether throttle or steering, is instantaneous. Every moment in an M5 can make you aware that this is, truly, a very special machine.  Right now prices on used E39 M5s are probably as low as they will ever be.  The editors feel these outstanding automobiles will possibly double in price in the next ten years.
