My buddy who drives an e39 M5, we went to Ohio to get it. There is a dealership up there that sells a lot of high end cars, and he had a lot of e46 M3s on sale. If I didn't have my car, I would have drove one back down to GA. Even though, I was still tempted to drive one down and then figure out how to pay for it later.
But I chickened out and we end up coming back home with the beast (M5) I love the e39 M5, it is awesome, probably my fave. body style of M5. A little too heavy though.
