I don't know; I might keep the SS.

For the reason of the age of the car and reliability yes I agree. Otherwise no.

Have you driven one?
It's been a long time since I've driven an E39 M5, but they never made me laugh the way the SS did. Of course I didn't end up buying either one, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. |

Laugh, funny you should say that! I drove a 2016 SS a few days ago, together with the salesman that was selling me a new GMC Sierra 1500. The one I drove was an automatic, kept thinking it might have been much better with a stick, but then laughed more.

My spouse laughed out loud while driving the 718s. The 718 only evoked a slight grin.

I have not and I should. I did see a recent YouTube of Randy Pobst comparing the two on a racetrack where they were within under a second of each other. So beyound the steering the rest should be objective taste.
Curious. Why have you not purchased one if it ilisits such a grin? I would think after you missed the GXP you would have jumped at this chance.

Even then, I went to the dealer with the intent of buying one that was advertised as being available for a steep discount off sticker last summer, but when I got there the car was gone. So, after we missed that unicorn, we bought the new Golf R, which means we're set on cars for at least a year until the Model 3 reservation comes up and I have to decide what to do about that. |
