And that's why they'll be shit in a few years, people blindly letting it go and continuing to buy their product as the company rots from the inside.
Yeah as a product release engineer, that worked Ford, GM, and now Nissan dont EVER buy a first year run of a vehicle. So many times I have seen cut corners just to meet the launch date and shit like "Well fix it next year" is all too common.
King shit of turd mountain is still king shit.No they won't. They'll continue to be the industry leader for decades because all the other companies will make similar stupid moves.

So I’m in the market for a new daily and cant decide between the M550 and the M850. Have only been able to drive the 8. Think I prefer the 8 in the looks dept, but the 5 performance seems a bit better and much better mod support as the 8 seems like a bit of a rare bird. FOH opinions?

Not really, no. It's replacing an old Boxster S which compared to even our Macan S is a bit of a hog. I believe the 0-60 times on the 8 vs 5 are roughly .2 seconds apart (one being 3.6ish vs 3.8ish). Mostly was just polling on which one FOH thinks is better looking. The 8 is really pretty in person, but it's super long in the front and not particularly spacious in the rear. The 5 looks more like a typical sedan - I've only ever driven the LCI 540i and liked it quite a bit. Prices are about 10k apart, so not a huge jump from the 5 to the 8.Would the difference in performance matter to you?

Have you tried a pedalbox? I had to install one on my Duramax since it was similar to what you are talking about. The Banks box fixed all the lag I had and really changed the truck.RS5 has shitty low end throttle lag. Might not bother you but it’s the same lag my S5 has and it drives me nuts.
