First of all, you buy an M5 because it is a fast sedan that you can drive every day, that is the purpose of the car. You lose all credibility when you criticize a sedan that does the Nurburgring as fast as a 911s
The non competiton M5 did the Nurburgring @ 7:38.9 the Mustang GT was 8:07.000. the Cayman S was 7:46.7. Looks like the F90 is faster around a track than the cars you mentioned. Maybe you should check your facts. You claim to lease an Acura NSX which is 65k more than an M5 and was only 2 seconds faster around the Nurburgring than a non Comp M5, when they run the M5 Comp it will be faster than the NSX. You also claim to own an F type r which is 15 seconds slower than the "Grocery Getter" around Nurburgring, good choice of sports car.

Yes, I have owned multiple M cars.
"First of all, you buy an M5 because it is a fast sedan that you can drive every day, that is the purpose of the car."
I literally said that in the post you quoted.
"You lose all credibility when you criticize a sedan that does the Nurburgring as fast as a 911s"
Nurburgring? Seriously. If there a SINGLE track that benefits from 600hp, it's THAT track. Any "reasonable" track is slow for the M5.
You can see here: The F90 M5 is surrounded by Mustangs, Camaros, older Porsches, etc for lap times.

You can look at those "laptimes" you care so much about to see that it's laptimes are quite literally nothing special.
Bashing an M5? How am I bashing it by stating complete facts? I said if I wanted performance AND form, I'd buy a 991 GT3 for 120-130k if that's my concern (which it isn't). The M5 is a comfy and fast but NOT track focused daily driver. How is that wrong?

What the hell does that matter? I buy what I like, not what YOU like LOL. An F-Type R is a different kind of car. An NSX is a different type of car. If I'm going to go "driving", those are a HELL of a lot more enjoyable drivers cars than an M5. I don't care that an F90 M5 is faster than a 997 GT3 around a track, because guess what, it will never drive the same way. My new addition does the ring much faster than an F90 M5, but I don't care.. you know why? Because I live in America and will not set foot on the track except once every few years for an hour on a European Delivery. Sorry, I don't care about laptimes on high speed tracks like you do buddy. I'd rather have a drivers car be a weekend car and a comfy grocery getter with a bit of power as my daily.
