...or am I the only one who tool that from what he said?
No, I understood that perfectly well. I'm saying there are cars I much prefer to the E39 M5 personally. If you gave me $60k let's say to go spend at EAG on a sedan, I'd pick a mint E90 M3 over an E39 M5 (probably not the most popular opinion). There are plenty of cars that would feel great to drive compared to an F90 M5, that's all I'm saying.

At $30k, sure, that's a great buy. But at collector prices, I'm not so sure.
