Guys, I just finished giving my E39 M5 the Zaino treatment, so I am acutely aware of its size and beautiful proportions. It's like a gorgeous, fit and sexy woman. I drove her to a nearby store and wound up parking next to a 2011 BMW 550, which I proceeded to inspect closely. OMG, the latest five series is OBESE compared to the E39. It is bloated in every direction---length, width, height---and weight. I skipped the E60 M5 because I hated Bangle's styling and am not into big butts, but I always figured the forthcoming generation of M5 would return to elegance and be the one I'd buy. Now I realize that isn't going to happen; the beautiful machine we've drooled over in artists' renditions will be enormous in real life. No matter how many hp the twin turbo V8 pumps out, it won't matter, because FAT is disgusting. If I want FAT, I'd drive an Escalade or an Expedition. You can put lipstick on a pig and it will still be a pig. Maybe the next generation M3 will grow to be the same size as our E39's--the V8 one is almost there-- and that'll be my replacement for the E39 M5. It certainly isn't going to be this fat ***, flubba-tubba 5 series which looks like a seven series. Rant over!
PS, if you're into fat chicks, you may disagree with my analysis, but I predict most guys here prefer leanness and beauty in both women and automobiles.
