The M5 should be the M3 size wise. The modern M3 is the size of a E39 M5 now days
I really dont care for hp, i prefer a more nimble lighter car, 414 hp and 2900 pounds would = sex to me.

You can't even properly get that power to the ground until you are well into 3rd gear. Think about an M5 that is the size of an e39 M5, with all the lighter materials used today, and a 5 liter NA V8 tuned to about 470hp and like 420lb-ft or torque. That is what the M5 should be. That would be a fantastic car.

The 5 series is the size of an old 7 series and probably weighs more as well. I cant believe how big the F30 3 series is, it looks like a 5 series for god sakes.
