It doesn't mean the m5 won't handle well but if it had a lower weight with the same weight/power ratio, then handling would improve. That is one area where Porsche and Audi seem to take more seriously.
That's what I mean. It doesn't look like any of the reviews are saying anything really negative about the weight - it's not making the handling/steering worse than what people were suggesting. Of course if the M5 was lighter than what it is, it would be beneficial but it seems like every talking about weight thought it would affect the M5, looks like it doesn't.
