Obviously, the slower throttle response and short shifting are used to maximize the benefit of forced induction, but we wish there were something like Sport Minus Mode. But on the whole, that's a minor hiccup. From driver feedback to all-out performance, this is probably the best M5 ever.
This is exactly so mundane about current M3 also, that in comfort mode, it is like grand father's car and feels lesser than a new 2012 twin turbo 328 or a 335i, or is, but in sports it has an insatiable hunger and thirst to run, that is not possible to full fill in regular driving
I see that as a good thing. That means the car can be more things to more people. Completely docile in comfort mode and beast in full out sport mode.
