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.
How do you compare the daily driver comfort of the R8 vs the GT3RS ?
I've never owned a GT car, but I've talked with guys that have owned both and the R8 is by far the most comfortable for daily driving between the two.
