I'm with you on that. I've had an e92 M3 and a F10 535d simultaneously.

The M3 was definitely much more exciting. The engine/exhaust sound is incredible and to go fast you need to work hard and rev. high which only adds to the excitement.

But, having said that, I'm quite sure that for ordinary drivers (like myself and 99% of all forum members ) the M550d is in real life conditions just as quick as the M5.
Buying an M car doesn't necessarily mean the public road changes to a race track or all of a sudden you have the skills of Fernando Alonso.
