Featured on BIMMERPOST.com on other hand, F90 is much elegant and looks better in every way and angle, the LCI is really nice too. I am waiting till summer to see the MxDrive on the G80. anyone else has the same decision problem TIA |

The G80 should be the better track car and (objectively) more fun car to drive. The only thing that would drive me away is the looks.
I wouldn't wait 2-3 years for the next best thing because you'll always be waiting |

I'm actually the opposite to you, I did seriously consider the M5 as I needed a car last week much sooner but I'm going to still wait for the G80, I think the M5 looks dated with the older style front, the interior is great but the weight of it and it being too soft was a bit much. Maybe in another 10 years.
I saw someone selling their G80 on here after trading in their M5 as they didn't find it was anything like a smaller M5 and they clearly missed the softer, comfier elements of their F90. Out of interest what's with the double commas? No offense meant if you're not a native English speaker; I'm just curious

The F90 lci is a looker, currently second best looking BMW after the G82 IMO.
I considered it until it became clear what an absolute home run the G8X is, at this point I no longer consider the M5. If the CS was within my budget range it would be a different story though, that is one for the history books and to hold onto taken its presumably raw speed and greatest V8 before they die.

I had an F90 and if you want a big powerful GT car it is an excellent choice. Only issues I had with it were the looks (I like the wider flares of the M3) and that it is difficult to use even half the performance on a regular basis.
The looks are personal, but the performance limits are so high on both cars that you can't really use full throttle for more than a second or two in the canyons. Also, cornering limits are crazy so the car felt a little pedestrian at regular speeds. Still one of my favorite BMW's I have owned though. The F90 is so much better than the F10 I had previously and I enjoyed it more than my F82 as well. |

I also had an F90 M5c and I believe the G80 will be a better track car.

M5 has long been on my radar. I currently have a M340 and will likely be upgrading to M3 AWD next year. I prefer the external styling of the M3. Though the interior of the 5er is way more comfy

The LCI treatment has been kind to the F90. Pre-LCI was a little too subdued looking as it didn't stand out enough from the regular 5 series. Post-LCI looks much better IMO.
