Potential new owner

Looking for a new daily and found a few f90 M5s that I am interested in. From my little bit of reading... seems the new gen is very reliable and most find it enjoyable for a daily. Depreciation also seems slightly better than the previous generations. My M4 feels incredibly slow and I am bored with it after a year of ownership. Curious to hear from other members that made the switch from a M4 to the M5. Likes and dislikes?

720S and Huracan? Hmmm, BMW has nothing left to offer you then I'am afraid.

OP is going the other way around.

M5 is faster and makes everything so easy, the M4 is more involving and brutal. So when the M4 feels slow, I doubt the M5 is the cure. Or, like some suggest, you tune it to +750hp.
I never would, warranty is important on such a beast. But when you can afford a 720s and a Huracan P in your garage already what's the price of some extra risk exposure?

The threads are actually M4 to M5. I saw a few threads in the last month asking about going from M4 to M5. Corrected original post of mine ......
