i5 m60 or i7 m60

Ignoring price, which would you prefer to have if the cost of the car didn’t matter and why? I fell like they did a much better job at making the i5 sporty and the i7 more luxurious but they both don’t seem to crossover. What do you guys think? Which is the winner and why?

If I'm buying an EV I'm going for luxury... i7 it is. If I wanted sporty I'd get an M5, not an i5.

1) i5 M60

2) Size and Weight – plus, our back seats are very rarely used for passengers. This necessarily includes Price, as we've considered both models and price still matters in this household.

Excluding price, the sedan I would choose and have considered is the Panamera Turbo S in this build configuration: https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PP944EN6.

thats tough. they both are pretty slick. The i7 is a beast and is so nice inside. I was very impressed but man it's a big car.When you drive it you def feel the size. the i5 is also decent size but obv not like the i7.

I think if I hauled a lot of people around a lot and money wasn't an option I would go with the i7. If it was for me personally who is by myself I would prob get better use out of the i5.
