Not sure that SO paintwork would be good for resale in UK, so would agree with AW with SO leather.
Having said that, if I were looking to change a non-CP LCI M5, with the current discounts on offer, I would be looking at M6GC CP rather than M5 CP (too similar to the car it replaces), even though M6 LCI is imminent. I know you have driven an M6GC and didn't like it, but the CP may make a difference - may be worth a test drive if you can get the deal right.

I went to the BMW dealer here in Austin yesterday and test drove a GCM6 with CP and it was nice. The sound of the exhaust is definitely improved over the 2013 and I liked the change in position of the Nav screen. The seats are better with the adjustable bolster and there is even a little bit of legroom in the back, not like the M5 but two could sit back there comfortably on a short trip. What I didn't like was the wheels that came on the car. They had a white M5 with the 343s but it didn't have full leather, the M6 did and I consider that a must.
I am also considering a California. Maybe I trade my wifes X5 and get a California and see if she will take the M5. I only have a two car garage so if I get the California, one of the BMWs would have to sit outside and it wouldn't be the M5.
