Apart from the speed, does the M5 handle any better than the 535i which is lighter.

Actually, all BMW's are designed with a 50/50 weight ratio; M or not. Why do you think the battery is in the rear on the E60? Because the engineers needed a spot to throw 20 lbs in the rear. LOL! I learned this when I was at the BMW Performance Driving School in South Carolina a few weeks ago.
