That said, gets boring. It just does everything so well, except in the twistys, and doesn't get out of shape. For me, it wasn't engaging enough. Now the new F90 can be adjusted for RWD to let you play some, but take that into consideration. Putting the M6 in MDM allows traction to break loose and it's just an absolute joy to hear it crackle and bang while sideways.

Just something to consider. Go drive the RS3 before committing. Awesome car, stupid fast as well, but I bet it'll get boring.
Yeah all my cars were AWD before this M5 because I lived in Alaska. I've had Sti, EVO 9, RS6, S4, GT-R. It's so true when I owned the GT-R for a little over year and when I drove my friends Nissan 370z it felt so much fun than the GT-R. All that said though, I only run people straight line speed.

I don't do auto x or road courses nor do I really do spirited driving. I just want straight line fast speed. Plus I live in PNW and I like the AWD.

I may just wait for the F90 M5.

You're not getting an F90 for anywhere near 900 but its the best car on your list by far.

I know I may have to keep up my M5 for a little longer.

Is the F90 as good as everyone says it is? All I hear about is the very fast speeds. Awd and regular auto sounds less eciting/raw.

Is it a car that you have to drive to understand?

I've test driven an F90, as M5-Raz says it's all speed and much less feel than the F10, the chiselled looks are not to everyones taste with an exaggerated front. The seats looked like from star wars and were hard also I haven't seen one with a sun roof just that carbon which is a no for me.

I'm reaching out to you all for any feed back as to what I should do with my current car, keep, sell and what to get next.

Here's what I got. I have a 2013 F10 M5 going on 90K miles. I've owned for about 3 years. It's stage 2 and has basically every bolt on and exterior mods I want done. I've done spark plugs and rotors and brakes, new wheels and a control arm. Had to replace a couple fuses, oh and changed the battery. For an M car, I feel it's been a pretty reliable car.

I'm looking to sell for the following reasons:
Higher miles, reading the F10 M5 forums and people blowing their engines, I live in the PNW and the roads and winter can be much for a RWD and finally just getting the itch for something new.

Here's what I'm thinking of getting next and the reasons why I'm unsure. Also, all I'm interested really is a well rounded car that goes fast in a straight line!

- BMW F90 M5. Lease is around $1200 a month; which is a little high or a lot high lol. If I can find one around $900 it would be better. AWD is such a plus, but aren't these the same engines and could have the same problems with the F10 M5's with engine blowing up. How's the axles on these, much better? The F10 M5, anything north of 700 HP you'll have to replace clutches and axles and run meth.

- 2018 F80 M3 ZCP or CS. I love the looks of the M3 and have always wanted one since the E92. I'm 37 and work professionally. I'm hesitant as the M3 platform seems to appeal to a younger crowd. But the looks, the looks! Plus it seems as your pushing higher HP they are more reliable EXCEPT the crankhub! Also, has anyone gone from M5 to M3 and regretted it? Are the CS seats really uncomfortable. Oh and it's RWD, back to my grip issues.

- 2018 Audi RS3 - Almost bought one in the specs I wanted local, but couldn't get my M5 sold. I've owned a couple Audi's, RS6, B8S4, and Audi A4's. All Audi's were pretty amazing, with the exception of the 2011 B8 S4, it just felt so cheaply made and didn't offer the driving experience my M5 currently gives or my previous GT-R. I've heard great things about the RS3, from good driver feel, to easy to mod and get in the 10's and pretty reliable and AWD! Only thing is the looks can be subject. But just a great all around fast daily that will beat 98% of the cars with FBO and it will grip.

- 2019 X3M - Would lease this and it has the new S58 engine that reportedly is one of the strongest engines BMW has made and they also fixed the crankhub issue. Just a tune on these are getting into the mid 10's at 120-126 et. But my wife just bought a 2016 BMW X5. I love the looks and the potential of the X3M with just a flash, but it's a SUV.

- Keep the M5 and wait for the 2021 BMW M3 - the new M3 will have the S58 engine and it will be AWD. It's just a couple years away. I can keep the M5 and wrap it nardo grey this summer and refresh my tune. I still owe on the M5 and by then who knows how low the value will be and maybe no one will want to buy it at 100k plus miles.

Thanks for listening! Any feed back would be great. Oh and by the way my M5 is for sale
I went form 2013 M6 to F82 M2 and then F80 M3. Those are fun cars but you miss the power/torque of F10 M5. Now I am driving M8 so the power is back and I enjoy but I miss the fun of M3/M4
So if you want to have fun you should go for G80 M3 but if you are still willing to feel that power / acceleration / luxurious , you should go for F9x M5/M8

Edit: I just saw you are 37 so you should go for G80 M3 drive You are young so have enough time in future for more luxury cars...
