Apples and oranges. Your M5 is a car with an MRSP of over $80K. Do you
really expect a car for half or less than that price--and with
technology radically different than yours--to be better overall? (And I
say that as a pleased new owner of a twelve-year-old BMW 530i 5-spd that
gets 31 mpg on the highway.)
Cheers.
