lazy friday afternoon survey - What is the M5 of 2014?
In 2000 if you were a serious driver and you wanted/needed a sedan, the E39 M5 was the obvious choice. It was the only real sedan (M3 sedan too small) that truly offered feedback and rewarded driving skill in the same manner as a sports car. Ownership was a statement - "I'm a driving purist"
Fast Forward 14 years, which car is the spiritual successor to that moniker?
The M5 itself is too ponderous, heavy and overpowered to boot. There are too many offerings in the segment to mention. The Panny GTS, is an enthusiast's car IMHO for sure. But at $130k for a decently optioned car its as much a statement of prosperity as it is driving obsession.
So which car is the M5 of 2014?
