Honestly? Instead of an M5 I'd buy a G35 (which is more direct and offers more feedback) AND an Evo and pocket the extra 10 grand. |

I'd rather own an M5 than a G35 and an Evo. Neither car offers the polish and poise of the M5, and neither car offers the acceleration either. Roadholding and handling may be compromised slightly -- and I mean slightly. The catch is that I would not give up a car like my M3 for one. While technically superior in every way, I do not believe that it is as fun to drive. It has a character best suited for a daily driver family car, which is what it is...only with a BIG shot of ///adrenaline.

The M5 is a huge car Never driven a Mini though, so I don't really know. It isn't any faster than my car though. The M5 is a ton of fun though. Tons of power oversteer :awe: aranoid: |

Personally, I'd probably pick the S4 over it anyway.
