Quick check so I don’t swing at the wrong target: which “M5” are we talking?

  • BMW M5 (the “family sedan that hunts supercars”)
  • Canon EOS M5 (mirrorless street shooter vibes)
  • Apple M5 (next-gen silicon / Mac or iPad)
  • Something else (M5Stack, DJI, etc.)

While you pick, here’s the fast lane for each:

If it’s 

BMW M5

You’re basically choosing your flavor of chaos:

  • E39 = classic, analog, “last of the old-school feel”
  • E60 = unhinged V10 era, high-maintenance thrill ride
  • F10 / F90 = modern missile, torque for days, daily-drivable violence
    Tell me: new vs used, daily vs weekend, manual obsession or not, and your budget, and I’ll narrow it to the best generation + must-check inspection list.

If it’s 

Canon EOS M5

Real talk: it’s a fun camera, but the EOS M ecosystem is basically legacy, so the move is:

  • buy it only if the price is a steal
  • keep expectations realistic on autofocus + lens future-proofing
    If you tell me what you shoot (street? low light? fast action?), I’ll tell you whether it’s a smart grab or a trap — and what to pair it with.

If it’s 

Apple M5

If you mean the chip / devices: tell me MacBook vs desktop vs iPad, your workflow (photo/video/AI/dev), and your budget, and I’ll pull the latest M5 lineup + best value picks.

Drop one word — BMW, Canon, or Apple — and I’ll go full send.
