M5 getting old, like really old, not fair to compare, although it's still fairly competitive performancewise 
style is getting bland and interior is just ...

I haven't driven the M5 nor the XF let alone the XFR, but I can imagine the M5 being more "fun" to drive than the XFR as it seems more "raw". My vote goes to the M5.

XFR is new, M5 is at the end of life. In reality it is pretty hard to compare cars since they all come out at staggered times and goal posts only improve... eg XFR's ZF transmission shift time would not be possible with the ZF transmission that was at the market then (due to a trick torque converter) when the M5 came out.

don't know about the XFR but the m5's launch control is addicting, not to mention the shifts with WOT at redline is just neck-breaking.

M5 is fugly. XFR is light (relatively) and chuckable. Not to mention it's fricking handsome.

The M5 is getting dated but good news is the new 5 series is coming out this year so the new M5 should follow soon.

XFR is still old construction.. basically it is a reskinned S Type.. so weight difference is not huge.. it is smaller than the M5.. with only about 100kg advantage.
In the end M5 since it is NA it can rev higher.. so it has a better sound to some. Quote:

I would choose the XFR even though the M5 has a button to flip from 400hp -> 500hp. =P

both cars are built for different purposes, the Jag leans more towards comfort w/ performance while the M5 leans towards performance w/ comfort features. Regardless, your are comparing a brand new model (Jag) Vs the E60 which is at the end of the cycle. On a track, the M5 would still beat the jag though.
Wait until the new M5 comes out in a few years.......TT V8 with 550hp and 500lbs of torque....
