Not following the rationale on losing money on the r8, as M5 values tank. I actually have a 19 comp and previously had a r8 plus as a secondary car which I traded for a GT3RS.

I had a 17 r8 plus for about 11 months put on 3k miles and traded it for a loss of 10k and got a good deal on the RS... mind you I picked up the R8 after it was about 2 years old. My rationale for getting into the RS was based primary on fun factor but also preservation of value.

I think the M5 is way more practical as a primary car, I leased my M5 for tax purposes and was ok with its massive depreciation secondary to that. As much as I love the M5 and as physics defying of a car as it is its not in the same league as the r8/exotic car in terms of driving enjoyment/feel.

I actually like that color interior. Congrats man.
