Congrats and nice maneuvering into the M5..I wanted to do the same thing but none were around when I turned in my M3. How would you compare M3>M5 handling,... curious, I've never driven one.

Agreed on the steering; there is nothing like the response and razor sharp cornering of the M3. I pushed mine pretty hard every chance I could and always felt that you could go through that ramp faster tomorrow.
I guess its tough to duplicate in a bigger sedan despite an extra 100hp. So I appreciate the extra space and luxury instead. Enjoy the M5.
