p.s. M5's chassis was good for a saloon but I found the M6 a little floaty, both of them were enjoyable though. Their main weakness dynamically speaking is the steering which feels artificial and synthesised - not a patch on the X5 I'm afraid. I have an E92 M3 on order and I'm genuinely concerned about how it will steer. Are you listening BMW??
