Right, but would you pay Porsche prices for an M5? The Panamera Turbo is $150K before options...

There isn't enough margin or volume in the M5 for BMW to invest much in bespoke components.

Even Porsche tries to share components, such as the Panamera engines that they are sourcing from Audi which uses them in other cars like the RS 5.
