Pretty much everything else

I prefer the thinking behind the last gen M5... "Here's a 5 Series with gods own motor and a 6 speed...  Away you go..."

Well said, I couldn't agree more.

I think the electronics are a little overkill...  17 transmission modes? 2 power modes?  Jeez...

I love it….The M5 is targeted for people who can count past 6. Drop-outs need not apply.
