Good for you for keeping it. I thought about an E39 M5 too, but, plug your ears, the power was more than I would ever use. So, I got a 2003 540 with the m-tech package, which included M trim, lowered, a 3:15 differential and other goodies which make the car much more sporty than the '97 E39 540 I had before it.

I went on cars.com and found one for you Go get it! The only downside the car I found is the owner or previous owner changed out the zero on the trunk with a 5 to make it a 545i. I guess this was to make it look like the E60 numbering. Just another example of douchebaggary.
