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).
Just because you can afford doesn't doesn't mean you will buy it. I cant justify the extra cash (keep in mind that options on the panty drive the price wayy up) when the M5 offers similar performance for a fraction of the cost. In spite of the fact it lacks AWD, it still performs stunningly well. I sat in the back of a 4S in the past and found the leg room to be lacking compared to the F10. Not sure how the F10 is cramped in any way. Anyhow, let's just say everyone has a preference
