Yeah, pretty much sums it up nicely.
Paper specs are so important in here.
Comparing a Cad to the M5 is pretty much a joke imo, power is one thing, handling something completely different.
And that's where the M excels, it always has, it always will.
Look at an M next to the Audi and Merc...

So be sure of a couple of things:
1. F10 M5 will be better, and as a daily driver than the E60 M5 - it should be easier to drive, more comfort when you want it to, and sportier if "your in a hurry".
And on the track - it will be faster there to.
2. mileage, F10 M5 should do at least 20% better, with a 100k car, i'm not to sure if that's remotly intresting but...

Wonder how fat it is though?
