One of the reasons why Albert Biermann left BMW was the watering down of the M brand. This included the decision by the bean counters to shove torque converter autos down his throat v. further developing the DCT trans.
Seen them around town - hard to distinguish from the big body 7 series... porker. Wouldrather have the E AMG myself.

I have a F10 M5 since new. Its a manual and has a comp pack and CCB.
I drove it yesterday and it will stay with me until they make another manual m5.
Its too fast, even faster than a 991 RS on a running start.
I took out my e39 right now for an inspection, such a big difference between the two.
Both will stay with my porsches.
Dont plan to buy an F90 m5.
Would rather have an M5 than a panamera.

My wife just bought a 2018 M5. It’s an incredible car for what it is. High performance sedan yet very comfortable. Incredible performance all around cornering and accelation. 0-100 mph simply breathtaking and faster than any car I have ever owned including my current cars : GT3 991.2, M4 with stage 3 tune and C7 Z06.

Maybe CJ can grab one from his BMW dealership and throw it into the '18GT3 vs 19GT3' below.

Nothing against the Ms and AMGs. But spending >100k is silly for a daily. At least that’s been my experience.
The depreciation makes me nauseous. The roads where I live suck. The drivers are even worse. The parking lots are ding magnets. Oh and I’ve purchased 5 tires in the past 3 years of ownership....section 325 in the rear attract nails like Drake attracts panties at a strip club.
Ive learned an expensive lesson from buying the x5m. Love the car just couldn’t handle all my said points.
Once the warranty expires next year, will be buying a CPO car. Beat it to the ground until i retire in 20 years.
Just my worthless two cents.

she had a 535 and wanted a sportier car when the lease was up. I worked hard to convince her that the M5 was the perfect car. She now loves the performance and needless to say so do I.

I daily an F10 manual CCB comp pack car and it's 100% better to take long trips at 100+mph than anything I've ever owned. I did Euro delivery on it and only lament that my workplace is 1.8 miles from home so I don't drive enough.
I have not driven the new one yet but have driven the M760. Lol. What a hilarious car - V12 etc etc.
The only car comparable from porsche is the Panamera turbo but they're 40-60k+ Extra

I drove the M5 at the BMW Performance School at Thermal. Loved it.
