Would definitely depend on what you're looking for. But with similar performance and more utility...the GSF ends up being the 'smarter' choice. The reasons to pick the RCF end up being more subjective...

I am hoping to get a GS F if I can convince my wife... Otherwise I'll just go with a regular GS after the 2016 refresh.

Love the RC F, but with two kids in car seats, an RC F just isn't feasible.

i cant stand the rear end of the GSF. the RCF looks so much better and they should of
made that into a 4 door sedan. The fronts look similar imho.

AWD would be ideal for the F also like the GTR

I just dont like the idea of paying M5 money for a car with an engine that should have been in a 2nd Gen ISF. The GSF still needs more power in that class. Ironically it's the exact opposite situation the RCF is in (more power more weight than competitors) since this is less power and less weight.

The GSF will be about $20-30k cheaper than a comparably equipped M5/E63...

could be even less than that when you consider the base price differences between RC and GS.

I would go GS-F just having the convenience of having four doors unfortunately horsepower isn't over 500.. Of course my dream would be a 3IS IS-F.

Both beautiful cars, probably the GS F though since I tend to have a saloon fetish
