I couldn't agree with you more. The F90 M5 has the edge for me from just about every angle. Its proportions are vastly more handsome - and restrained, if that's your kinda thing - than its in-house brethren. Of course looks are a subjective thing but just about everywhere else, the F90 CS really does take the prize as one of the all-time greats.
I expect the Touring to be lovely to drive but with AWD, bulkier rear, more weight and different suspension, it won't feel as crisp as the RWD coupe and saloon. However it will feel much more entertaining and precise than the X4M.
I wonder if the rear suspension will be more stiffer to handle the extra rear weight when fully loaded. Also wondering if a fully loaded M4 Touring will feel like the older 911s with more oversteery rear ends. It could turn out to be more of a rear biased drive than the coupe and saloon, but probably with less agility.
Small changes to suspension, bracing and even software can make a biggest difference in how a car feels to drive. When choosing between two variants that look identical to the naked eye, I recommend test driving both. Ideally back to back.
I would say Malachite is more luxury orientated. Isle of Man green is far more vibrant and more suited to the M3 and M4.Malachite is cool (I like it more than IOMG) ... but British Racing Green would have been even cooler
I actually don't like it.
