Depends what's standard. However it looks like a good value to me. This car delivers F10 M5 beating acceleration, probably has over 500 real hp. and has a base price of $72k vs an F10 M5 base price of $95k and a G30 base price that will likely be close to $100k. That's a big difference.
When we bought our 2013 M5s the price difference to 550i when comparably equipped was only about $20k. Now it might be bigger.
I think I am going to order an M550 XDrive to replace my wife's C300 (which was always a temporary car). Then I will wait and see how E63 or M5 fare later on, and maybe upgrade later kind of like what I did with the F10. Will make final decision when I go to Detroit next week.
