For those that love the car, more props to you guys. But for me, performance aside, I need to love the design of the car. Hence I got the 2007 TLS and when they went the fugly grill the next generation, hopped on the M3 wagon and now with it going the same direction, moved onto M5.

To satisfy my manual need, I'll just pick up a 911 next year .
I am going this route myself and for the most part not considering the G80. I was thinking of an M8 if I could catch a great discount and they are out there but the M5 is a better car. Too much bitching and controversy over the G80 and has turned me against it. I like it but don't want a car where people are changing bumpers and dragging it on social media.
I can't imagine what it will do to resale.
