New F10 550i?

If you are considering a MB AMG vehicle then sharp handling and feedback probably aren't super high on your list (no offense if this is inaccurate). The 550i won't be quite as fast as the MB AMG straight line but the handle will probably be on par. It's a great car that's pretty balanced overall.

I honestly love the way the M5 drives it drives amazing sounds amazing handles amazing and in my opinion is one of the best driving experiences for a saloon

Although I don't own an M5.. I do own a C63 AMG.
To be honest, I would say stick with the M5 unless you're either;

A)Running out of warranty
B)Looking for something different to fit a craving you have - such as an AMG for torque figures

If the above aren't a problem, I would say stick around with the M5 'till the new F10 M5.

I would keep the M5 over the CLS 55. While the torque is great, I prefer NA power, and find the high-revving V10 way more exciting. Also, I'd skip the S6 or F10 550i, as I'm sure both will be underwhelming coming from an M5 (both have less power and conventional automatics, which ain't so exciting in my book).

I would say that instead of upgrading to an 08, if you 06 has been reliable, I would spend the cash you had for upgrading on a Dinan Stroker motor for your 06. Now that would be exciting
