Ok here's my dilemma.... I currently own and have owned an 03 E39 M5 for the last 3 years as my daily driver... My personal choices back then were to go with the E60 M5 or with the E39 and supercharge it... Well I went with the E39 because I love the classic look which in my mind looks way better then the E60... Well the only well developed non-custom massed produced S/C kit only came out a little over a year ago by ESS and I just never got around to biting the bullet... I always thought I would keep the E39 M5 for a long time as when I purchased the beast there wasn't anything out there made by BMWs M division that "wowed" me, until the new gen M3s...
The thing is my car is creeping up on 80k miles, the technology is a decade old now, and I'm just looking for something new with all the new tech toys and something with a warranty (although I do all my own work and the car has been mechanically flawless)... Another thing is the resale prices of the E39s are dropping far below where I would like to see them... I'm worried if I don't sell it now I won't get anything for it later down the line with more milage on it... This is a tough decision... I've put about 25-30K into my car already so the car is the way I want it... It is paid off already so no monthly payment... There are a lot of previous owners that regret having sold their cars and have even went back to the E39 M5...
I'm having a really difficult time deciding whether to hold on to the E39 M5 and supercharge it, or sell and and get a new gen M3 with the plans of supercharging it maybe a year or two down the road... Im looking for some input from you guys before I make a decision that I may end up regreting... If you guys were in my shoes what would you do and why??... Thanks...
