hey I know this topic is beat to deat here over and agian.. but i am seriously consdiering a purchase of either a m5 or f430 .. i know they are too diff cars at very diff price tags .. but aside from ferraris curb appeal and being exotic whffernces can u describe from driving both ?
Definitely go find one to drive. I've got an M5 and have driven an F430. I love the M5 for its trip comfort, speed, power, sound, etc. I liked the F430 for its raw feel, sound, curb appeal. I'd take the M5 for its ability to do so many things so well, IMHO.

Get the R8, and still have enough to get the M5...
Excellent comment. You hit the nail on the head.
But regarding the original question...talk about apples & oranges.
