Me too. And at this level of luxury and price, I don't think 10th of second on the track performance really doesn't matter or the extra 400lbs of weight. Heck it's very rare to even see a C63 on the track, nor an M5. I've driven Maserati coupes and they don't drive any better than an M4 but the Maseratis still sell at double the price.. why? because of status symbol and the presence it has on the road.

At this level, it's about presence, luxury and showing who got more money. And I choose GT63. I just worked on one last night and the car is just everything I'd want for a sport family sedan that can hold its own next to Astons and Maseratis without breaking down every month. M5 might perform slightly better but looks just like another 4cyl 530i.
