I test drove one about a month ago, and it's really an amazing machine. That said, while it had a bit more grunt than my car, it lacked the M3's urgency and (relative) nimbleness. It definitely felt like a grand tourer, while the M3 combines GT characteristics with those of a sports car.

I wouldn't kick it out of bed, but I'd keep my car over trading it in for an RS5.
