While I have never even *seen* an M5, I would advise anyone who wants abit
more 'heft & size' on their M camera look into a Tom A Rapidwinder! It adds
a little more to the bottom of the camera (for you "big Hands people") and
the increased weight (not alot, just enough) allows a little more oommphff!
(can't think of the word I want!- something about a body always returning
to rest....)

I have one on my M6 and shoot down to 1/15th if I haven't had
coffee/tea/Pepsi!!!!
