Exactly. The M5 is viciously fast in acceleration, very luxurious inside, and feels like a really large land yacht, in comparison to the E90 M3 (which I know we aren't discussing but which we've likely all driven). The M3 will probably be a little slower and not quite as high end inside but will feel far more nimble and agile. I feel like the M5 is a compromise (as someone else on this board said): it's a two parts 750 mixed with one part M3.

If you cruise freeways all day long, you might like the M5. I drove a friend's car for an entire weekend and it convinced me to keep my E90 M3.
