I came from a '11 550xi and got into a 13 M5 last year, I was on the lucky side at that time, there weren't too many used 550xi on dealer lots and my dealer needed one to have it on theirs so they offered me a trade in value that I cannot say no to. Otherwise, I would have waited this summer to get myself into a 14 M5.
Yes, the winter driving for the M cars are kind of tricky (even with winter tires), there were a few major snow storms in the GTA last year with dumping of 25+cm, I drove thru them but with lots & lots care & cautions, I never got stuck as I do my daily drive on mostly flat roads. If I were to drive on lots of steep hills conditions or ski country roads, I would never consider driving the car at all. Just park it.
Bottom line is the M car is indeed a bit more fun to drive, esp. up in the cottage country roads, like Muskoka. I recently took my car up north for some spirited driving and it was well worth it and I am very happy with my M.

Thanks for reply first. bobblehead. You are the second real bimmer from GTA area I have met (the other guy is Allen from X6 forum who drives a white x6m). Other members from GTA just seem like too quite on the forum.
Yes, I bought it on my personal expensive, so when I am considering trade it in the high depression value of 650 makes me hesitated.
However, the M6gc is just too attractive, can't get pass on it.
How do you think your m5 drive in GTA winter? Will there be any difference between m6gc and m5 regarding on the winter snow performance.
My bud gave me a suggestion which is keep the 650GC and get one more M3/M4 in the next year. Do you think it will be a better option for me?
One M6gc drives year around or 650GC for DD plus M4/3 for weekend fun?
