GTS went full retard, do not want. Plus, coupe. Standard car is too heavy. But the CRT... just right.

Too bad it was never brought to the USA.

Amazing. Just made my morning. I love videos like this.

CSL and GTS sound incredible and are timeless.

On the contrary, the E60 is the best looking 5 series to date.

E39 is tied with E12 for worst looks; the E12 has the aerodynamics of a 10- gallon aquarium, and the E39 looks like a bloated turtle. Theyre a match made in heaven.

Oh I know I'm in the vast minority. Just never liked that car for some reason. Too big and bulbous, especially when you put it next to the uber-handsome E34 it replaced. If I could have one M car out of all that have ever been produced, I would take a '93 Avus E34 M5.

I mean... the e60 grew more in size over the e39 than the e39 did over the e34, and you have an e60? Seems weird to dislike the e39 over the e34 due to size, when the e39 had the smallest generation over generation size increase, whereas the e34 had the largest

The e34 is actually my 2nd least favorite M5 (after the F10). It had the biggest size increase generation over generation (vs the e28), the biggest weight increase (vs e28), the smallest engine change, and I think the e28 and e39 are both better looking (and the F10, even though I despise it as a car). I'd also hazard the e34 has the second worst interior (after the e60).

Which is not to say I don't like the e34. NA inline 6's are BMW's best engine, and the M versions are the best of those. The steering feel is better than the e39 or F10. Manual was mandatory. I just find your cited reason to be... curious. Even more so since you own and e46, which very much shares the same design language.
