I am considering selling my E60 M5 for an F10 M5, now that the prices have gone down.

The only thing that is holding me back is whether the F10 M5 is actually "boring" to drive compared to the E60 M5.

I have the SMG in my M5 and I absolutely love how it bangs into gear during high throttle. However, to non-car people, the jerky shifts makes them want to vomit.

Another thing is the exhaust. I have an Eisenmann Race on my car right now, and it screams to redline. I read online that the F10 is very muted. Does anyone have experience with an aftermarket F10 exhaust, and can compare it to an aftermarket E60 m5 exhaust?

Also, is the engine on the F10 M5 less prone to failure? I am thinking of upgrading turbos and doing other bolt-ons after owning the car for a while.


Thanks!
