The F10 is a letdown in my book. The S85 engine is so good that the SMG issues can be overlooked for the most part and it's noise is better in every way (even when stock) than the noise coming from the F10's speakers.
But back on point: both are great cars. The E39 is more tame but is a better drive because of having the correct 6-speed and is relatively light while the E60 is a brute you really have to work to get right. I'd choose the E60 any day because of that S85 and I love it's front end. I'd replace the heavy ass seats with some Recaro Pole Positions and delete some of the bullshit like iDrive and such.
