Dare I say the e60 generation was BMW's worst car in design and reliability. I think the e39 5er and e38 7er was BMW's high water mark for design and execution.

The e60 was pretty bad for BMW. Even the F10's kind of suffered too. I think it took BMW to produce the G20 - to get their mojo back.

I have owned two e39's... a 535i v8(euro) automatic and currently an e39 540i 6speed manual. I love my e39's. A year and half ago I was invited to BMW's Driving Academy, outside of Munich. There I got to drive most everything BMW has and has produced(classic BMW's).

I was blown away on how much I liked the G20 M550i Performance. It has a lot of BMW Performance parts installed from the factory. That Perf exhaust sounded just like my e82 135i's PE. Pure orgasm for one's ears. I was also blown away on BMW's semi autonomous driving aides. The new cars can pretty much drive, steer and brake themselves with very little input from the driver. IF I had the money I would own a M550i Performance.

But my all time favorite car at the event was driving the M4 CS. But I think for an everyday, grown up car... the M550i would be my choice.
