AMG GTC Roadster, E63s Ed.1, M8 Comp. Coupe
We have a M8c and AMG GTC roadster as a DD. The facelifted M5 is basically the M5 updated to the M8 tech/software and is a very nice car to drive. More comfortable than our W213 E63s and quite a bit quicker. All cars have their pros/cons but the M5/M8 are easy to live with. No lightweight like a 911 or AMG GT for that matter but wicked fast heavy cruisers that can completely switch their demeanor by pressing the M2 button.
Depreciation is brutal on these just like on AMG's (in normal times) but M cars are cheapest to lease by a long shot.
That said, the AMG GTC is much more fun to drive and top down delivers the much better sound track. But parking any AMG GT without front camera isn't for everyone.

I have a 2014 Panamera Turbo. I purchased it CPO with 9.5k miles. Have 60k on it now 3.5 years later. Last December my son and I did 6k miles in a week for a senior year road trip with him (DC to Denver, Vegas/death valley, grand canyon, and back the southern route to DC). The Panamera turbo ate the miles up, was comfortable the whole time. Until I got the GTC it was my DD. Fantastic car and no issues. Comfort mode if you want, Sport + if you want to have some fun.
