I have owned both for while then eventually unloaded the f80 as it was my second one at the time. Here are a few of my thoughts.

Truck space is the same.
Actually the m3 has a bit more “usable” space (both cars with the seats up).

The F90 seats with exec pack are the best in class when it comes to the balance of comfort and performance. . 9-10 hours no problem. Very short people may find the headrest uncomfortable. The f80 seats never felt thin and hard until started I driving the cars back to back. The F80 and F90 like to get sideways when provoked but I believe the f90 actually handles better for some reason. BMW M designs these cars with some from of drifting in mind. however even if 2wd mode the f90 is still a pussycat and more predictable than the f80. that car was so rigid and you needed faster hands especially in the wet. . Anyway it sounds like just want a luxury cruiser. The M5 is a no brainer for you I think. The M3 is just a visceral beast. I would be surprised if BMW M anything like it again with such a high chassis rigidity and snappy throttle.
