The soul/performance is there, but heavily clouded.
Will an F15 perform better than the 4.8is? Absolutely.
Will it be more driver oriented? I would think not.
It's all luxury first, performance second now.
KEEP IT!

My E39 M5 and E53 4.6is are my constant reminders at what BMW use to inject in their products for the driving enthusiast. Back in 2005 I purchased a 2002 M5 sold two years later to start a business and regretted every moment without it. In 2012 went back and repurchased a E39 M5. Even my wife who is not enthusiat agrees that the M5 and X5 4.6is are special vehicles in terms of how they handle, move and sound. These newer BMWs just do not communicate this level of experience for the BMW enthusiast so hold on as long as you can.
