Yes, it is certainly bigger than an M2, and M3. It's an M5.
This post was in regard to an m5 vs m3 however, and the m5 is about 6-7" inches longer than an m3, nearly identical width.
It's about 15" longer an M2 (coupe) which is a compact car by most standards, and a 2 door.
Vs the M3, if you cant fit an M5 in a parking spot, you likely cant fit an M3 in the parking spot. The 6-7" difference in length only IMHO is negligible. VS M2? Sure it's a good bit longer, but even still, the m3 and m2 crowd make it feel like the M5 is an old Cadillac DeVille at a whopping 3 feet longer than the M5, lol.
My point is, the M5 is a superior everyday car vs the M3, and M2. Not in every way, but the majority of the metrics, it's superior. Sure the m3 and m2 have their own benefits, especially on a track or windy road. And if you must have the extra 6" of space to park, then by all means buy the M3. But IMHO, that 6" isnt going to make a big difference day in and day out. M2? Well sure, its bigger, but the topic is in regard to M3 v m5.
