J.Seven:
Is this for real, poor Panamera! Hope it's not a repost.
Old video, the PTS had larger aftermarket wheels and somebody claimed that the M5 was a factory car.
From my very limited M5 vs. PTS experience, both cars aren't really different in performance up to top speed. Only from standstill, the PTS has a huge advantage (AWD). On the track however, as Sport Auto has proven, the PTS is much faster and furthermore, due to the AWD, the PTS is much easier to drive fast. The M5 has serious traction issues, especially in the speed range below 60 kph and in curves. The brake is also an issue with the M5 but the new optional ceramic brake should take care of that (hopefully). The M5 is a real bargain vs. the PTS but I guess you get what you pay for. However, nobody can beat the M5 fun/performance/price ratio for now.

Touche
My BMW dealer had an almost fully optioned M5 with very low mileage (below 500 km, his demo car for select customers only) for 105k EUR for me. Practically new. Even a brandnew one with the same options wouldn't have been more than 115k EUR. My PTS is almost 100k EUR more expensive. Ouch. You can get a 991 Carrera for the difference.

In German. Can anyone translate the conclusions?
