Far better options at that price point for a sporty coupe.

They should have given it a unique engine, DCT, and more light weight materials for that price. Not just an m5 with a new shell.
Agree. I'd love to see an M-designed dual clutch make its way into the higher end M's as well as a new V8 engine completely. I feel like the N/S63 is getting a bit old despite all the upgrades its had over the years, and it really doesn't help that AMG is making some fantastic V8's right now.
