Since this is not really an M5 comparo Ill just speak to the GTS. I normally keep cars 6-9 months and the AMG is nearing that first milestone and its NOT going anywhere. Yes I have tuned it with some serious gains (110hp and 134tq) in the sweet spot ranges but the car just drives incredibly well, especially for a RWD car.
Since you drove it, you know how it feels initially. From my ownership view, it has only got better as I learned the car more and its pro's and very very limited con's. I guess the best way for me to help you is to ask: was this test drive the best or one of the best you have had? Was it better than the M5 test drive or other cars you owned? Yes its just a test drive but initial feelings say a lot IMHO.

Vic - thanks for chiming in. It was the best test drive I have had. But my only reference points at M5 (comp and non comp), M6 (comp and non comp), E90 M3, 2014 911 Turbo, and this.
The car just felt right. I can't describe it any better. It's proportions are just right, interior is fantastic, very easy to handle and sounds great.
I'm concerned about if I do get bored (I can't see why but if I do), am I looking at a steep hit? I usually research my cars for at least a few months and work out all the angles before diving into it. But I have never driven anything like it. It just blew me away and I'm afraid I may be thinking too much by the heart. Buying it is easy and I got a second spot in my condo parking. But it's the hit that I'm concerned about - that can sting!
