Mercedes have overtaken BMW in the weight to power stakes, it will soon be felt IMO.
How's your 550i? If you like it, you will like the M5. Chances are it will weigh roughly the same or a bit more but with a more sophisticated differential and suspension setup. I'm gambling on this car handling pretty well considering the amount of testing performed on the N-ring
