I paid $30k to enjoy every E39 BMW

Several years ago, the BMW E39 caught my eye. And over the years I have owned 3 of them—the $30K was money well spent as I experienced everything this ultimate driving machine, in all its variants, had to give. As my hunt for early 2000’s M5s on FB marketplace began, I moved my way down to the 540i. I found a 2000 Biarritz Blue 540i with a manual transmission. I quickly drove north to pick it up and drive home. This was a mid-grade example in a great color, and I quickly racked up miles with it. The sound of the V8 was great, the steering box was awkward at first but easy to get used to and t ..read more

by Dave Wedge

It may be 60 degrees in Boston, but three hours north, there’s plenty of snow left to savor those last buttery turns to carry you ski/snowboard bums through the summer. Just when we snow-obsessed New Englanders had lost all hope, Mother Nature came into central and northern Vermont, and parts of New Hampshire, with a massive late-season – and much-needed – wallop that dumped anywhere from eight inches to 2 ½ feet on the slopes. It’s been another rough season for many mountains but the snowmakers have piled it up at many resorts to ensure the season lasts well into April. This recent batch of s ..read more
