Care to give more details?
How is the M5 while having alot more horsepower be less exciting?
Is it really that bad?
1. I think 560 ponies are not really useable in the real world. Unless it is always dry and the road is perfect. The ESP is interfering a lot cutting of the power especially in the corners. And this is exactly where the GTS shines. I don't need a drag racer I want a precision tool.

2. The NA engine makes the throttle response amazingly precise. I can feel the GTS on the tips of my toes. I know exactly how much power every flex will deliver. There is no eggshell all or nothing effect you sometimes get from the M5.

3. I do love the 4 wheel drive and the all weather usability of the GTS.

4. The sound of the engine and the exhaust is exhilarating!

5. It is all very personal and some people will hate the GTS for the very same things I love it.
