So AMG/M is not enough now you have to get Competition Performance S packages for it. LOL! This is ridiculous especially for the price range.

Hehe it's only 'not enough' for those people who want the best and the bleeding edge.

Mere mortals need not apply

The competition package M5 is 10mm lower. The M6 competition package is the same height.

If you read it, they really got on the M5….this stuck out

The other issue with the M5 is isolation. I've typed this many times before, but the F10 platform is the problem, as it shares components with the 7 Series and Rolls-Royce Ghost and Wraith.

They were only really saying that about the M5, and I agree it's ridiculous.

Hate to say it, but with the past two generations of these cars, if it were my money, I'd have gone for the E63 AMG. And I'm starting to find MB products in general to be more appealing than BMW. The world has been turned upside down.
