The new benchmark is probably the Chiron to many now. Ooohhh... many years to blabla ahead.
So over time I've gone from an E39 540i to an E39 M5, to an E60 550i, to an F10 M5 (with other BMWs in addition to that, list in sig). I'm likely going into the M550i this next time. Its a cost vs what I get out of the car. The F10 M5 impresses on an on-ramp and a big race track but is far more car than I can make use of on the street with out being foolish or risking a big fine. Plus in the case of the F10 550i, it felt unsatisfying. We shall see about the M550i. But all indications are I'll like it.
