I currently drive a e39 540i 6speed(M5 lite lol) and can't fathom spending $45 on it, let alone $100K for an M5. The M cars are great cars but IDK if they will every get that high in prices.

I believe you have the right e39 version!
I was close to pulling the trigger on a e39 M5 but changed my mind at the last minute by reading all the expensive work that needed to be done (one forum member mentioned $14K in 3 years) and I could not find a specimen with a spotless maintenance history.
Now I am in the lookout for a nice e9 CSi. Nowadays with the speed limits here in AUS, one can't really have a fast car and NOT get in trouble. Having test-driven a nice e9 and also an e24 635 CSi, these analogue cars give plenty of thrill without having to break speed limits. And hey are very simple to maintain as well.
If one wants the adrenaline, there are plenty of single-seaters track days and rallying schools ;-)
