Anywhere else I expect the XFR to be priced on a par with the M5.
Their US website is junk, but if the car listed on the build page as a "XF 4.2 V8 Supercharged" is the XFR, it looks to start at $64,475. BMWUSA.com shows the M5 to start at $85,500...

Anyway I would take the M5, NA engine and it performes nearly as good as the XFR and the RS6 that are FI. Yet the M5 is pretty old, but wait for the next gen, it revs up till 7K, it is not 8K but still better that other FI. But I think the M5 engine will be defferent than the X5/X6 M engine, it may get up to 600 hp and 700 Nm and even rev till at least 7.5K.
I would be surprised if the next M5 engine is anything but the same turbo v8 in the x5m and x6m, we'll see in due time...

I agree, while I have a strong affection for e90 M3's, I almost leased one last x-mass, I'll consider an e60 M5 when I'm back in the market for such a car. For now, I've decided to wait until I pay off the ZHP. It (my ZHP) will become the daily driver once I've made that purchase...
