How is the brake pedal feel? And how is the damping working for you? Not too stiff? Also curious about anti roll control. Does the M5 do a nice job of staying flat through the curves?

I’m very happy that you’re enjoying this car. Intriguing choice. I love to read about your experience with it.
My take (as a longtime observer) is that Mrs. FC and Mr. FC, for that matter, have always had a soft spot for a luxury sedan (Mercedes, etc.), but our FC likes a sporty edge. And this is an attempt to reconcile those impulses. It may indeed be the perfect middle ground.
