The std non comp pack M5 is a lot more comfortable over poor road surfaces than my M4 comp pack was and has plenty of space for 4 people to travel long distances in comfort.
It depends on what you want....I would say the M5 is the more "grown up" car of the two.
For me the F8x M3/4 lost the balance that made the E92 M3s such fun to throw around...and my M4 certainly felt like it would create an M4 shaped hole in the countryside given half a chance.
There is always the awd version of the M3/4 due soon as an alternative.

And this is exactly why I own a E92 and F90 and skipped the F8x generation.


I've driven a hand full of F80's/F82's and it's not even half the car the F90 is as far as comfort, power, and sound go.
