Not totally. The new 550 performs near on par with the old M5. The E550 also is close to the E55 AMG and actually surpasses the last generation E55 (which had 349 hp).

Mind you how will the car be driven. Most ALL of these cars are rarely pushed by owners. Many M5 owners who drive their cars hard chastise those that "garage" them.

The older cars have a more old school feel to them while newer cars continue to get heavier and add tech.

Its ones priorities really b/c its not like one car just blows everything away in every category.

The purist car here is a manual M5. The beast is the E55.
