Driving a 2019 M5 now. Well, it is a beast. Insane power, and handling is amazing. But does not come close to the steering feedback of the E46 though.

Why did I stick with BMWs over the years? Well mostly because they drive so well. Plus their looks, image and better the devil you know. I did curse at BMW after seeing the cost for the X3 maintenance after the warranty run out. But I think it comes with the territory, I suspect all luxury cars are like that.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Any pics of the cars? The F90
