if the new M5 cannot match the Panamera turbo in performance, then they don't even need to announce it.

...and GTR, as a next even more economical 4-seater...
IMHO this car has lost it's position in a universe 8years ago with the new stupid corporate direction for more luxury, than sport, useless "no usable low torque/hi rev hp only" oriented trany/v10engine implementation approach. It's really useless in a real city living/driving and etc... I guess, BMW AG executives don't drive M5s in the cities, but only on the long extremely straight, lonely highways...
...in that 4-seater segment M3 is the only decent car left and the last car, least affected by dumb corporate BMW AG experimentation.
