We live in the real world. People who can afford M5 (afford, not go broke for it) can afford panny turbo which is with porwerkit is 540PS and not 160 grand like an S. Also in the real world all wheel drive is A LOT faster and safer. And since Porsche's AWD is so good. RWD lose almost any appeal over it. Smaller displacement is not our problem its BMW's. It's engine's dimentions and weight is what important. Panny also got more room in the back for 2 people. BMW's were always cramped in the back (X3 is amazing though).
