I would go for the LCI year for tail lights too. Was that 2010 or 2009? They look a hundrned times more modern and better.
Also there was a guy not too long ago who had went from an e39 m5 to a e92 m3 and he kept feeling the car had no power and was not overly happy driving around the city and missed hte low end torque of the m5. I would definetly make sure you are absolutely ok and willing to live above 6k and with that comes a lot of great engine noise but noise nonetheless. It is a slug in the low revs v. the m5 is the exact opposite that peters out at 6800.
I prefer the e92 but only have driven the e39 a handful of times. The m3 is so much more refined it is a huge step up trust me. Feels like a true race car which the e39 definetly does not.
