I know its only got 518 horsepower, but power isn't everything, it will still get from 0 to 60 in 4 - 4.1 seconds, could be the same as the new M5.

I would love the M5 to start at the same $95K becuase that means I could hopefully get a used one for $70K in a few years. if its pushing $120K loaded it will be out of my used bracket.
You make a good point but you forget that $120K is Alpina B7 territory and I would much rather have the Alpina than the M5, and in that price range you get a lot more exclusivity than the M5
