Even the old M5 hit a different crowd than most BMW buyers
Well, I agree with him and I'm pretty sure I'm part of the crowd they'd be targeting with the new M5, or at least I had hoped so. Getting too big, too heavy, too low of a rev limit and two turbos on top of all that....I'm on my 3rd M3 now and this will probably be my last, since the aforementioned objections will probably apply well to the F3X M3 too.

And yes, I know, the E9X M3 is no lightweight either and small is not an ideal word to describe it, but we all have limits and I think my current ride is as big and heavy as I am prepared to go when it comes to my fun-to-drive daily ride. Anything more, size and weight-wise, and I might as well drive my wife's X5d or trade my sedan for an X5M.
Exactly! Wanted to write a post myself but I would say exactly the same thing. I dont like the lower rpm in the new generation of M cars and love the sound of NA V8 and V10 that gonna keep my e92 m3!
