Here are the facts:

The E39 M5 is based on the E39 5 series. If the E60 5 series truly starts shipping this fall, then the E39 M5 is done until a new E60-based M5 is developed. When the E46 3 series came out, the E36 4 door M3 was immediately done. They kept shipping E36 2 door M3's and convertibles because the E36 version of the main 3 series was still in production. The minute the new E46 3 series coupes and convertibles came out, the old E36-based M3 coupes and convertibles were done. Since the M5 and the E39 5 series are 4 door sedans ONLY, the current M5 is done the minute the new E60 5 series appears.
