I actually forgot about the V until I passed on on Sawmill the other day. I drove one in Vegas a few years ago at some GM test thing and loved it minus the shifter. I drove another one Monday and had the same feelings. Fantastic car minus the shifter. (Can be fixed with an aftermarket kit just like the BMW)
I love the M5 as well. I am in between on them and really just don't know what to do. My 540 has served me very well and I beat the shit out of it almost every day.
Yes, it would be my daily but I would like to do some bolt-on's. I guess I am leaning slightly towards the V as it's different. I have had the 540 for 3 years now and feel that if I get into an M5 it wont have the same appeal.
I just need to find a few of each, drive them both back to back and make a decision. I dont think I will go wrong with either of them.
Thanks for all of the input, and please if there is more keep it coming!
