Last-gen 540i 6-speed. 50% as expensive as an M5, 85% as good.
So what?

It's like saying the Miata is 80% of the S2000....or that an S2000 is 80% of a new Boxster S....and that a Boxster S is 80% of an Exige S.....

Umm, because you missed the value portion of that equation. You have to ask yourself if it is worth a LOT of extra coin to get that last 15, 20, or 25%.

Exactly; you can say the same thing about a Miata vs an S2000 vs a Boxster vs an M Roadster.

Of course you pay way more than what the ''value'' should be, but it's like that with every car...

If we all took the ''is it really worth 10 000$'' more rule we would all be driving 1992 Miatas with a supercharger kit.
