47. I got into BMW when the current 5 series was the E34, so I definitely have an appreciation for the 'older' generations of BMW (hell, I have one). I've never understood the fascination with the E39. It looks decent in wagon and M5 forms, other than that it's bulbous; it looks like a bloated turtle to me and it's really, REALLY showing its age now. I don't think they drive that well either, especially the V8 cars. I had an E60, and in my opinion it was superior to the E39 in every way imaginable (even looks). I'd rather have an E46. Just my $.02 obviously.
