The E39 M5 is so special. Really great to see another video on it.
My uncle had an E39 M5 that he seems to have really loved. He said it was "mind blowing at the time how fast it was" and sounded great, too. He said it was fun to drive all the time, not just in perfect conditions. Of course he ended up selling it and replacing it with a 997 Carrera, which is a damn good car that he still owns, but he says he still misses it.
Now, my wife has a 2021 330i with the M Sport package, and out of all the modern BMWs I have been in, it's one of the best. It's a lot of fun to throw around and is surprisingly quick. It even has a decent exhaust sound thanks to a dual-mode exhaust system. Sometimes the steering and brakes seem a bit too touchy and numb, but it's something I've gotten used to after a couple months with the car. I'd imagine it's nothing like the BMWs of the E39 era, but it's very 2020's-good, if that makes sense.
