BMW M5 E39
Why it qualifies
S62 V8, 6-speed manual only in the US. Widely considered the greatest sedan ever made. Comfortable enough to daily, fast enough to embarrass sports cars.
Watch out for
- VANOS failures (rebuild kit available)
- Rod bearings (preventive at 100k)
- Subframe cracking (less than E46 M3 but check)
