I'd take the M5 definitely. M5 F10 and Jaguar XFR-S are probably the best saloons on the current market, IMO. These two cars have everything to love: impressive looks, high-quality ride, practical and perform like the hell... Just pity Jaguar doesn't provide manual gearbox...

Id take it over the S8, Just looks better, Normally id go with a manual, but in this type of car, i could care less.

The M5 is possibly my 2nd fav 4-door car ever, And unlimited both the S8 and M5 will past 200Mph, And the Panamera Turbo S certainly doe not "Kill It Like Crazy" and from a Roll a Panamera Loses.and the newere Panamera Turbo S against the M5 Competition should be good. But i think the M5 is the better bargain for price.

@ Hans: The Panamera Turbo S commands mad respect, it's the only sedan that can beat a BMW M5 (F10).

Shaggy you can say that on Panamera Turbo S, because it kills M5 like crazy.

When it comes to performance sedans, the BMW M5 is almost unbeatable, the only sedan that can touch it in terms of track performance, which is what matters is the Porsche Panamera Turbo S.
