If I want upset about 90% of the cars on the road with a sedan= M5.

If I wanted a sports car with performance and luxury all in one= M3.

M5 simply because you can fit morewomen in the car:)

M3,

because I bought an M3 and AWD wagon for less than 1 M5;)


There's $25,000 difference in price and little difference in performance.

M5 no doubt. The most versatile vehicle on the planet.

Better way.

M3 now while you are single.

M3 later for YOU when you have a family. Let them get their OWN car.:devillook

I voted with my dollars. M3 SMG and M Roadster. The Roadster was preowned, so the total was about what an M5 would have cost.

M5 for the LeMans color and it sounds way better.

If I could have one or the other for free, I'd take the M5. But only to turn around and sell it, buy an M3 and keep the extra 25 grand.

I just think the M3 looks better! ;)

///M5s are the fastest Manual Sedan now.
///M3s are competitive wit Z06s and other such cars.
but ///M3s are bad.
the Phoenix Yellow is the best!

I don't think colors matter as they can be custom ordered.

The M5 is even more luxurious than an M3. Also, the money is much different. The M5 will really set you back. The M5 also comes at the expense of two extra doors!:D

If it was a daily driver, and I required it for long trips, and never intended to track, I would go M5.

If I needed a car for fun and toying around, or intended on tracking it, M3.

Both beautiful cars, with strengths and weaknesses in different areas.

I don't think the M5 is a slouch on the track though.

People What about that Audi RS6 came out can that realy take M5?
I still think that BMW is a better car

they say Rs6 is 0-60 mph in 4.6 and M5 is 4.8
Not a big difference but still

The next M5 will have a V-10 pushing 500hp. The RS6 will have nothing then.:D

Used E39 M5 and Used E30 M3...best of both worlds.

E39 M5 with ACS adj. suspension, custom c/f hood, 19 inch wheels, Dinan 470hp conversion. 0-60 in 4.1 for a sedan?!? Hell, if you can afford an M5, why not go all the freakin' way?

the 2 tone m5 interior "grabs" me more...m3 interior is kind of plain in comparison.
