I have time to make this decision, but I keep going back and forth on this. I have a M5 now and I'm very happy with it. I sat in a M8GC and walked around it. The car seems to be bigger, and the back seat is smaller. I'm not too impressed with the dash and the appointing. IMO my M6GC was nicer in some ways.

So if anyone has one now coming out of a M5, is it worth it? It's considerably more money. I mod my cars and I suppose it's still too new to see what it will look like lowered with wheels and other adornments.

And, the new RS7 looks pretty hot too and is in the same price range....Yes yes, I know there's a thread on that, and I'm aware it's slower...But a simple flash can help with that.

Any insight is appreciated...
There's no competition (pun intended ) to me--the M8 GC is in a different league. I've no idea why you'd say interior quality isn't a step up--it's the first thing I said and the first many of my M5-driving friends said, too. I had 2 x F90s and I loved them both. The way I feel about my M8 is so much more than that.

Why do you say it's too new? Mine was mod'd completely within 24 hours of owning it and many others have followed suit or gone another albeit similar direction.

The backseat is bigger for two--the middle seat paid a price but can be used for a short time if needs be. The car is far more taught--attributable to the carbon core.

Here are some pics (there's an entire build thread with my forum name in the title):
Love that color!!! Is that the frozen bluestone metallic??
Me, too. It's frozen dark silver.
Was thinking about getting the frozen bluestone metallic but now maybe rethinking to frozen dark silver.... does anyone have a side by side? What's everyone's opinions of the 2 colors?
