I will miss the NA noise, but the S65 just isn't torquey enough.
Thanks for the offer, I PMd you. I have not driven the new M5 (nor ridden in it).

I mostly agree with all of your other comments. However, I don't think the M3 (with it very large torque multiplication through gearing) needs much more low end torque.
