Having had previously a 2000 M5 and a 2008 M3, I'd have to say this car is awesome-er
I do miss the DCT on the M3. But the 500 HP and 580 ft/lbs of torque on all 4 wheels and the nicely grounded Dinan suspension makes this car far much more fun than my previous M cars. I'd have bought another M5 but wanted the AWD and the Dinan mods make the 550i pretty close to the M5.
