I don’t think the F10 M5 has anything on the BW. The BW is newer, rides better, handles better and is probably faster. The only advantage of the F10 M5 is that you can find them for as low as about $35k. The F90 M5 is more the competitor to the BW and is faster, in part due to the AWD that puts the power down.

I like being able to use big power like I can in the F90 M5 (and mine is modded). I have a 700 rwhp turbo E36 M3 and while it is fun, it often cannot put the power down even on the 275/40/17 Toyo RA1.

F10 M5 classifieds quick check ~$45k for a reasonable mileage manual version. You're right ... BW is better everywhere and comes with a warranty.

FWIW, Toyo RA1's are ooooooooollllddddd tires. I used to run those on my CMC racecar, and they were kinda old back then. Falken RT660, Bridgestone RE-71RS, Goodyear Supercar 3R are all about as close as you can get to a Hoosier with tread. Amazing stuff these days, if you can get them in your sizes.
