Well, unlike the new 3-series, the 5 series model for model including the M5 is heavier than the previous generation, and that is because BMW incredibly ditched some of the aluminium suspension bits. The new 6 series is also heavier than its predecessor.

No wonder many think an E63 AMG is more fun, even if it's dynamically inferior, because it feels more agile than the M5.

The next 5 needs to shed weight.
