as a family car, which is what i use the 5er for, yes comfort + power is what i like/want.
only reason a B5 is not in my garage is coz wife wants a new house!

At the end of the comparo when they put the M5 first they list the things about the car that they like and that they dont. On the plus scale for the M5 is AKTIVLENKUNG which is the german for active steering?!
