It also handled significantly better than my 550; in fact, I was surprised by just how much better the handling felt overall. It was very easy to put the car exactly where I wanted in sharp turns, which felt great and inspired confidence to push harder. Crazy fun...decided I had to have it.

I didn't test drive a regular M5 but the M5C felt so good that it really alleviated my concerns about its suitability as a DD.

Hope this helps.
I had a '16 as well, but it was an X-drive M-sport, so which exactly was yours? Mine didn't have run flats and I recall all run flats riding harsher, because of the reinforced rubber.
