Anyone here owned or extensively driven a 2000-2003 m5?

I've driven one, and was hooked. Yes, it doesn't have the agility of a boxster. Yes, it's 4000 pounds stock.

But my God did it feel great doing everything.

To me, the perfect car is the car that does everything as close to perfectly as possible. The Boxster is great, and I need to get exposure to a Carrera or Carrera S at some point, but that particular m5 was, too me, the closest thing to that.

I also think it has far better appearance and interior spacing compared to the newest m3, which is also nice.

My list of cars to try out to find which one is "most perfect" includes:

2001-2003 m5, 2005+ Carrera, 2007 Audi RS4, and a few others

To me, that's my step up from the Boxster. We'll see
