I think that you're right on target here. The only area where I disagree is that the aura of the M5 has always been it's performance/luxury combination that doesn't compromise either (the E39 set the benchmark). For me, I want a luxurious daily driver that is also a beast. Admittedly, I want all the leather and a lot of the gadgets, but I want it in an sub-4000 pound car. To me, that should be the ultimate goal. And I think many of us would pay for it (just look at the cost of the Panamera).
