N24h was pretty epic. Will upload some pics if you're not friends with me on fb.
E39 M5 is an investment, 10k will get you a facelift with 100k miles
Any other E39 don't spend more than £3k
Alpina is pretty punchy option but I personally don't think it's as financially secure a purchase as an M5 of that generation. The Alpina fans appear to be massive purists (read: bellends) and any modifications or even deviation from OEM parts will cause the car to suffer a huge drop in value because apparently only Alpina enthusiasts buy Alpinas, to everyone else it's "just" an E39 Touring and you're a fucking madman for paying so much money for it.
