The E39 is legendary. Such a wonderful analog car, with a real sound. A real drivers Sports Sedan. Nobody makes a car anymore like an E39 M5. All sports sedans made today chase luxury, comfort, technology, quickness and speed. The Chevrolet SS is the only car in more recent times to match the E39 M5 formula again. The S62 was a gem, and the manual transmission as the only transmission option forced the driver that they need to know how to drive a car.
If anything we need more cars like the E39 M5 again, not everyone wants a 1/4 mile mashing sports sedan packed with tech. Design a true Sports Sedan again with modern lines and performance technology that focuses on the fundamental driving experience, like making the chassis as light as possible and great steering feel. All with an engine exhaust note that can be felt and heard without the need for artificial sound enhancement. There is still a market for such a car I believe. If only there was a car company willing to go back to that fundamental formula for a mid-sized Sports Sedan.
