I complained back in 2010 when I got my e60 m5 and then again when I got my F10 M5, but the truth is that I enjoyed every one of them and had fun learning about different aspects and characteristics of each. As far as the feel and overall enjoyment the e39 still wins in my heart, but I will continue to get every one of the new m5 generations.
It had its quarks but I still miss my E60 M5. I would love to see the M5 CS have a KERS type system. I think what the new generation M5s are missing is something unique. I guess that’s what I appreciated about the E60. Unique V10 and SMG3. It was certainly a love/hate relationship but it was unique and fun.
