Agreed. Sport Auto filters out the “factory effort”.

No doubt it will kill the M5. I'm just not a big fan of the "factory" times from anybody. It's a data point for sure....but tons of $$$$$ behind them.

For over 180k it better.... Im not normally that guy that uses price as a crutch but I have wonder how much better this car will be for the price tag. I cant imagine it trapping 128 or higher/beating the CE M5. My Benz contacts say it will around there if not higher (price) and I fear that the value will outweigh demand and Benz will have their own Panamera.

There was a time when the M5 was the ultimate sports sedan. Competition has grown fierce!

7:38 for the base F90. Pretty good for non factory $$$$$ support.

Too bad it doesn't actually use the GT platform, but the MRA platform.

Sedans have 4 doors, coupes have 2, regardless of manufacturers marketing ploy to convince sedan drivers (who need the passenger area) that they are driving a coupe....
