I remember the first review of the new E39 M5 when it appeared in Roundel magazine. It said something to the effect of the new M5 being a nice, fast, large, luxury car. But it was not a real M-car like what we'd known in the E28 and E34 series versions.

I should remember—I wrote that review way back then.
So why does the reality surprise anyone today?
