"So color us pissed that the M5 suffers shortfalls in three areas where an M usually excels: steering, suspension, and brakes."

This line was particularly painful to read, "I really like the new M5. Granted, it's not a very good M vehicle, but it is an outstanding long-haul luxury yacht."

Painful lines to read: "Apart from everything else, confidence is a key factor, and I was simply more confident behind the wheel of the Mercedes than I was when driving the BMW." and "The adjustable steering's even worse. You get the impression it was decided that the car would have three different steering modes, and then the engineers were given the task of thinking up what exactly those modes should be. Their solutions were heavy, heavier, and sword-in-stone. None is very good."
It doesn't lose all comparo's but the M5 used to win by a large margin.
It's not like I'm a BMW hater. I'm a Lifetime Roundel member and have owned only BMW's for 15+ years except for a couple Odyssey vans.
