Yes. After driving BMWs for almost 20 years, it's hard to go to a Chevy. I guess I'm a German car snob
, but the overall exterior and interior style is not my preference. But I may just need to get over myself because for $50K I can buy a reasonable E39 M5 replica in the SS...

Well, emissions aside, I wouldn't mind if BMW just used the NA S62 from the E39 M5. that is a great engine. If made in small numbers it wouldn't impact BMW's overall emission numbers.

Yes! As long as they are not $150K. With low mileage E39 Ms being sold for > $100K by EAG, there has to be a market for this.
