Holy shit, I am not even going to attempt to explain road feel or driving dynamics to someone who has had as many cars as you have.

If you think it's all about speed measured in seconds or fractions of seconds then we can't even have a discussion.

The M2/M2C/M2CS are not their "crown jewel", but it is almost universally agreed that it is the sportiest feeling BMW on sale today. Actually it's twice that I have driven an F90 M5 on the track... and yes, I will have more FUN in 3500 lb manual transmission RWD coupe over a 4500 lb beast with a torque converter automatic and AWD. No one said the M2 was faster or more capable or more practical, so relax. Judging by your comments, you haven't driven any other M cars, while I've driven every single current one except the M8.
No one cares what you have driven. You were the one who started with the insults. M5 can be changed to RWD, too....but then again, you probably didn't turn that on in the 2 test laps they let you have with it.

I know full well the difference in road feel and handling. I came from a M550i, which although very fast, is a joke compared to a real M car in handling and steering feel. A lot of people will say the M550i (and other M branded non-M cars) are amazing things because they are almost as fast as the real M model. That could not be further from the truth.

The M5 weighs 4200 pounds, BTW.....not sure where you get 4500 from.
