CLK63/C63 Black Series would seem to fit your bill.

Also, the RS5 is a great car, but even with it's trick diffs, it's not as balanced as the M3. Quattro works very well in the corners, giving you confidence and letting you push that much harder, but there is still that common complaint, the car plows. |

There's always the M6 Grancoupe as an option but you'll have to wait a bit.

I was considering moving to an F10 M5 soon from my E90, but after driving 550 m sport and the new M6 vert I changed my mind right away. They are just way too big and don't feel anywhere near as sporty and involving.
I agree the panamera is nice (I spent 2 weeks driving through Germany/Switzerland in a S). The interior is very nice, but it is very expensive for the relatively low level of performance you get with the S and going to the turbo or even GTS is a big price jump. Although it was nice at first I quickly got bored with the PDK and was wishing for a manual. The panamera drove smaller than the F10, but still certainly didn't feel small. Right now the front runner for me is a 991 S. It is a significantly different car from the 997. It has an excellent interior with all the features you'd ever want, feels much more roomy and comfortable than the 997 while being lighter, still has amazing performance with an NA engine and manual trans, sounds great and gets much better mpg. Not wanting to go turbo or auto trans or bigger car there really isn't much else out there that I would give up the E90 for.

It is a hard decision to leave the E90, but after 4 years I am getting to the point where I am at least considering it. I was actually the other way, thinking that I wouldn't like the 991 that much (Ive spent time in both 997.1 and .2 and never seriously considered them), but there was quite a lot i did like and not much i didn't. Right now I'm looking at an October allocation, so I have plenty of time still to spend more time with the 991 before making a decision.

The S65 makes a great unique sound, but I can honestly say I loved the 991 with PSE even more.

E90 M3 to F10 M5. Can't wait!
Anyone looking at XKR, 991 etc clearly has no need for a sedan. I need 4 doors so it's a no brainer. As far as the Panamera goes, I don't like the rear center console preventing 5 passengers. Also, as previously mentioned the styling on the Panamera is love or hate. I prefer the look of a proper saloon. All great cars however in their own right! ð
