After the Imola discussion, I headed over to M5board to see what e39s were being listed at these days. It looks like the price of all e39 M5s has shifted up ~$5k over the last 6 months. Cars that would struggle to get $15K back in October are listed at $20k now. Clean 100k mile cars that should be in the $18-20 range are all in the $22 - $25k range. Then the really nice 50k - 75k cars are all asking between $35 and $45k... crazy.

It is a great car. I'm really glad I owned it. If i was a collector I'd want to have one in my stable, but I wouldn't want to rely on it or need to use it regularly anymore. Just too much 'old' and too many things to worry about in a family sedan.
