If modding is in your blood, the obvious choice is the 550i.

The new F10 in general is a lumbering pig, the M5 weighs over 4,300 lbs. That isn't a pig, it is a whale.
Mods will create a modded car but not equal. The multiple M modes create a very flexible car. You cant do that with coilovers and a tune to the turbo.

In addition not a snigle part of the 550i engine is designed for more output so all you do is stress a car at all its weak points.

It will never be the same or better. Just a modded 550i.
