I just bought an E39 M5. 4.9 liter super sedan. Awesome car. Nothing to dislike about these.
Liked the e39 platfoem, but couldn't stand the e39 m5 I owned. Just awful.

My favorite will always be my 1995 M3. that car was superb

One of my favorites is a AP2 Honda S2000. Drove one for 10 years (275K miles) as daily driver, also used on track days.

Honda AP1 S2000. Still have it along with '97 993. With competition grade coilovers, forged BBS rims, OEM hardtop, catback stainless/titanium exhaust, and convert top and hardware removal and other minor weight reductions down to approximately 2,500 pounds, it is truly a high performance go-cart for the street with ultra responsive steering and an alley cat screaming 9000 RPM engine. My wife prefers the 993.

Ok, well since the S2000 guys are chiming in..

06 Miata, nice car (front end is a bit ugly) but amazing cars. Whatever you heard about 'the answer is always Miata' is correct. I will sell my 993 before I ever give up my Miata.

Why?
-stone nuts cold reliable. redline shifts as soon as you start it if you want.
-cheap to repair, easy to work on
-sewing machine quiet, tossable, flickable, 'slow fast car'.
-shifts PERFECTLY (stock)

The three wheeled car is a Corbin Sparrow, a single seat electric microcar circa 1999-2000. It's powered by 13 lead acid batteries, is quirky and hilarious as fack. I bought it just because it's so weird. Planning to completely redo the powertrain someday with modern electrics/power, raising its range from "totally ****ty" to over 200 miles/charge. Then I plan to use it as a commuter pod.

That is my first car. It started out as a 1990 Miata, but over 27 years of ownership I've completely tore it down to its base parts and rebuilt it into something else. It's not really a Miata anymore as essentially EVERYTHING about the car has been changed...it's more of a one off now. Carbon/composite body, 1895lbs/250hp...

That's funny. I love my e39 M5. I can't think of a better 4 door sedan with reasonable room. It's one of the few with a real manual transmission which is mandatory for me.

On the other hand, I can't stand the E36 M3 (or any E36 for that matter). The E36 was BMW's version of the 996. The E30 was much better.
