I miss the E39 and E60.

That's the beauty of it. It can be a 530, 540, 550 and M5 all in one.
But I agree with you. The horsepower wars are ridiculous. Who uses 600+ HP safely in public roads? Who often drives at triple digits speeds in countries with decaying road infrastructure and speed limits galore like the US or U.K.?
30 years ago, an E34 M5 had a 0-60 time of 6 seconds flat and barely 300HP. That was the fastest sedan in the world in the early 90s...
