Barely.

If I wanted an E39, I'd either get Mike's M5, or a 530i. The 540 is completely uninteresting to me.

If you gave me a lot of money, a giant ego and an over inflated sense of self worth, and you're going to shove me in the back of a car, I'd prefer more leg room than an E90.

In fact, even without those things if prefer more rear leg room than a an E90.

Manual e53 x5

I saw a nice one the other day with the 6spd and sport package.

Bigger isn't happening. And it's better than sticking them in the back of the E46.

Too old, too shitty.

Edit: And too big.

I'll give you old and shitty. They weren't very big.

Right.

It's a shame you can't get a newer 5 series. Best I can tell, 2010 is the last model available with a manual in AWD.

I'm not sure "leg room" and "3 series" go together. I'd be looking at 7 series, which are crazily comparable in price to used 3 series because of their depreciation curve.

5 series GT?

Good call on the 7 series. It's really amazing how cheap the used ones are relative to their price when new.
