Traded R56 for E39 M5... Not

I am trading my R56 with my uncle's mint '01 Imola Red E39 M5 for the weekend.

Should I be excited to be driving this mint E39 around? At first yes but after a few hour I started to miss my R56. The M5 is a powerful car but mileage SUCKS! I am going to run down a tank in 2 days time. It is going to be tough to get the Mini back. Somehow I have a feeling that he is going to want to keep the Mini for longer than a few days or so. Comparing both cars, M5 feels like a monster boat while Mini is like a E30 M3..

Now I have to think twice about getting E60 M5 (not to mention MSRP of 95k - which I am short like 94k )

I will try to enjoy the 400HP family sedan while my uncle is bussing around town in my Mini..

'til then,

Mack

Tell him

he can keep the Mini as long as he likes, if he leaves a gas card with the M5!
