Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire relives the E39 M5, a favorite among BMW enthusiasts, by driving a "stock"-ish example and comments on where it fits in and holds up even to this day.
Except for the part where he calls the S62 engine a "4 liter V8", I found the video enjoyable

The BMW E39 M5 pretty much set the bar for what we expect out of our top performing sedans to this day, but 15 years down the line, how does it hold up? This clean example is stock except for a set of wheels, a shifter, and muffler delete, and is even better than we remember.
