They are all mass produced and poor quality wise. The M5 will rattle just like an M3 in time.
If pure speed is what you are after there are better money propositions.
If you can see $260 K value in a new M5 then your eye sight is better than mine. After upgrading the exhaust to make it sound better than a kia stinger add 15k.
Having driven one, the exterior is boring, the interior is dull, the car sounds shit and the drive is as boring as the exterior. Not only does the M5 not have the looks of an M car it doesn't even drive like one.

I am not sure where $260k comes from, I paid nothing like that for mine. I am told the competition pack will be circa $250k on road in Oz.
Leaving looks aside, I am surprised you didn't like how it drives. I would be interested in what you think drives well in this segment - i.e. a decent sized 4 door car (not a 3 series, c class or A4 etc)
