The only new technology feature I seek, being able to enter destinations by GPS coordinates, appears still to be lacking in the current alternatives, and I love the E60's V10, fuel consumption and range not withstanding. In contrast to early model 7's, I never minded the M's iDrive, and I now have a good working relationship with the M's SMG.

The DCT is amazing. I loved it in my E92, but the PDK in the GTS is even more responsive and, when in sport plus, even more aggressive than than M mode with the DCT on the highest setting. I did not test this setting that thoroughly on my M5 test drive. I say go test drive a GTS if you have not yet. You will like the NA engine. It doesn't scream like the E60 V10, but it revs really freely and sounds great.
