Although, it's a bit unfair to compare the driving between the 2 because of the advances in suspension technology in the e90x gen and also they are built to be different cars. I've owned an e92 and currently own an e39. They are vastly different. The e39 is considered to be the best version of the M5. The driving and engine are just a joy to experience. Yes, it doesn't have the rack and pinion steering up front, but I was never taking mine to the track. It's fine for sprinted driving and curves. It won't compare to an e90 though in terms of handling.
Good examples are hard to find. I did buy mine from EAG so it is in the top 1% of M5's out there. But, I paid a premium and was happy to do so since I've only had to replace the throttle actuator in the 3 years of ownership. It was always one of my dream cars. It is a timeless example of the best M cars that came out of BMW and regardless of how much hp the new ones have; I'd take the e39 all day long. I would hold on to your e90. That soon will be a sought after model just like the e39.
