the e39 m5 is a wonderful car.. i'm debating on getting one next
and they are quick as hell on top of amazing handling.. I have never raced one but then again I'm stage 1 but I have been in a few, and they're something to desire for sure

E39 M5's trap around 108-110 MPH....faster than most Stage 2's.....but on lower speeds/rpms
a Stage 2 will most like take it since they like M3's need to be in higher RPMs to take advantage of their power

well...in 2000, it was "THE UberSedan"....400+ HP, 4 doors, 6 Speeds
and that was when the E210 E55 AMG was only 355 HP. They are still great cars....and I've thought about picking one up. 109-110 MPH trap is nothing to sneeze at.....it is still faster than a B7 RS4 and almost as fast as the new 414 HP M3
