The M5 unquestionably performs better, but how would these two cars compare, say over a long drive? Is it more work to clutch,shift, and steer the M5?

Short answer: no.

It's a real car. There's really no compromises on the daily-driver front. If you can tolerate any manual transmission car in traffic, you can tolerate an M5.

The 1-2 upshift isn't the easiest to do smoothly (I find it easier with sport mode on) but it's no worse than a 540i/6.
