All good points. The AMG is stiff for sure. I had no real issue with it as I was used to it, but in comparison the BMW has a much better demeanor around town. At least before the revamped 2021 AMG suspension. Also, I totally understand the apples and oranges thing. I thought being practical would be feasible, but the difference is so substantial, I would really kick myself for not doing the M5!

The straight line performance of a tuned 550 is not shabby but the driving experience does not come close at all compared to the M5. I'd get something else before going back to a 550. Spoiled now I guess, lol.

See, that is exactly what I was describing. Like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, except the M5 can do both, whereas the 550 does not really get into Hyde territory. Not knocking it, just was considering getting one until I drove the M5.

My lease is up May 15th. I will let it sit if it shows up early. To not waste my AMG lease. They said end of April maybe.
