I've done some stupid things in both, learned the hard way to handle the power. Nearly crashed the Turbo on 2 occasions when I was bit younger and had some warm blood rushing through my veins.

S63 and Turbo S are much easier to drive. The trouble with the M5 is that it has too much power for a rear drive chassis, and also a very lax traction control system. Probably the most lax traction control system I have seen.
I think you need to decide whether you want to be a rear wheel driver or an AWD guy. If latter then consider S6 or CLS550 4Matic.
If you want to go RWD I would suggest starting with something more easy to drive and learn the RWD car characteristics, with more electronic safety net. Look at an F30 335i or an BMW 640i
