It is by far one of the worst steering systems BMW has done.
Sure, the engine is good but it makes for a terrible driving car if you're interested in more than going in a straight line. This makes the e39 M5 a big fail and makes it a terrible driver's car.

Oh I agree, the E60 is the M5 to get, esp when they get DCT swap working. But the E39 is so damn pretty.
