Right, I've decided to stop pissing about and buy myself a decent car to drive around in as I'm fed up of driving old shite about!

I've been trying to make up my mind as to what I want and the list of things were as follows:

Civic Type R,
Focus ST 2.5,
Mondeo ST220,
Scooby WRX STi (blob eye),

But then I looked at E39 M5's and though sod it, I'll go for one of those!

I know my list above is a bit varied!

I've always wanted an M5 and I know a few people on here have either got them or have had them.

All I've got to do now is save up some money!!

My questions are what are they actually like to live with, common issues etc?

I don't care about fuel consumption as I drive a van for work so won't get used daily.

Cheers folks!
