I know the single sport button on the M5 makes the throttle a little jumpy.

Hit the Power button on the center console. IIRC, there are two steps. I like the first. It's not jumpy like the E46 M3/E39 M5 Sport mode were.

Edit: Are you gettting a stick or automatic? Lack of low end for a NA V8 didnt bug me that much with a stick. I can see it being annoying with a automatic when you want to jam the throttle and get response. With a stick you downshift and problem solved, part of the fun Of course I can kind of like laggy turbos for the same reason. |

See fixed in bold above. I am looking for either. I don't have more then 2 people in my car enough to really care. If a coupe comes up in the color/options I want I will take it.

Sound is all subjective. Objectively the new M3 is much, much faster. It just did nothing for me. It's also a very big vehicle. Its so underwhelming that I'm looking at the M5. Just because if I'm going to go soulless, numb and big, I might as well have something that sounds cool.
