The E60 was more angry than the F10. This isn't a knock on the F10 (well aside from the engine noise thing which is silly in my opinion) it's just my opinion.

My view differing from your's doesn't make me a clueless monkey. It just means we disagree.
If your membership profile is correct - you own neither the E60 M5 nor the F10 M5. I personally have doubt that you have spent any meaningful seat time in either.

This makes you an armchair commentator in my opinion.

Further since I and many others have had both, and put thousands of miles on each model, we would know better than you or the journalists. After 8000 miles in an F10 M5, I would say it is a more visceral sports car than any previous BMW M5.
