Almost 140k miles, have owned it for almost 14yrs, have done RBs, suspension (not shocks/springs), coils, alternator, maybe water pump I think. Starter is needed soon, belt tensioners, and so much more that in most cars would happen 80-100k, aside from the RB & SMG issues it is a well built car. Of course the F8x handles better, stops much much better, power wise about the same. But the E60 is more comfortable and the M5 comfort sport seats are possibly the best seats BMW has ever had. I had a M4 6spd and now DCT, want to get back into a 6spd just cause thats who I am, rev matching manual is pretty cool, at one time I had 4 6spds 3 of which were M's, now down to 3 total.

What mileage is yours sitting at? Just so I know what maintenance intervals to catch up on.
How would you say the f8x compares to the e60? I have my eye on an f80 manual 4-5 years down the line. Worth it owning both?
