I don't really like the E39. A bit to Accord-looking to me. And it's really just a cramped E38. But I wouldn't mind the E39's 6 speed manual adapted to the E38 for cool points. And of course, the new big thing in the E38 world is swapping in the S62/6speed from the E39 M5. My buddy Brandon did one with a supercharged S62 and 6 speed combo. Fast, and very cool.

Ur crazy, E39 is gorgeous.

But fair enough. S62+E38=sex

I had a number of crappy cars prior so I'll restrict the list to the "grown up" cars I've owned:

1999 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 - sold after ~7 years and ~150k miles. A few simple repairs. Buy again? In general, yes. In many ways (size) this gen is preferable to the generations that proceeded it. Mine was a stripper model with regular cab and I4. I was just starting out in life, and this was my first good car, so it served me well, but I should have spent more to get a V6 w/king cab.

2005 Honda Accord LX V6 - sold after ~7 years and ~150k miles. The most reliable/durable so far with not one single repair. Buy again? Just like the Tacoma - in general, yes and in some ways it was better than the generations that followed it (interior quality). In specific, no - i should have a spent a bit more and gone for the EX V6 sedan w/MT.

2011 G37x Sedan - have had it ~6 years and ~130k miles. The least reliable/durable of the lot but still very good and vastly better than the class average. Buy again? Yes. it was the star of the poser class then, and pretty much everything of the poser class today is sucky (even the elites like the S4 and M3, so i have no real impetus to get something different.
