Lots of reasons to get an M5 over M3; bigger luxury HWY beast. Sit back mash the gas pedal and go! I think the 760 Alpina is now the faster than the M3 also in a straight line... For me if I'm getting a car that big my needle is leaning on Luxury, comfort how quite the cabin is etc. "Most M3 owners are focused on the driving experience; 0 to 60; 1/4 time and trap speeds all important but those numbers to take a back seat to the driving "Experience". The C63's and Alpha both have 500HP+; somehow the M3 is still faster around a track. It's a great time to be a car enthusiast because you can get exactly what you want. |

I admit the new M3 may be more fun to drive, but no way am I giving up my M5C to get one. If I had the cash to get an extra M car I think I would go with the M2C. That car just looks fun to drive.

Won't move me! I bought the M5 because of it's size and also because it finally went AWD. I use it as my daily and have a family of 5...

It will be interesting to see what the limits (how much practicality you lose) are versus the advantages of a (potentially) more sporty car. |

But with over 500hp in the M3C it'll definitely attract a lot of prospects.

Went from a F10 M5 to a F80 M3. What a downgrade. Picked up the F90 M5 today so am chuffed again. Don’t think I can ever go back to the M3. Way too small. Looking forward to the M8 Gran Coupe in around 18 months time though...
The F80 M3 IMO is overrated. Engine is dire and it sounds rubbish. The E46 was way ahead of its time as was the E92. F80, seriously struggled to live with it on a daily basis. Or maybe am just getting old... |

Well, before you consider the new M3, how about the M5 CS or M5 CSL that may be coming?

I have the M5 CE so either I am staying with the platform - or going with the smaller platform. The question is whether the lower power/lower price - but with AWD and smaller car will make it an actual worthy option.

I'm not sure what this pic does for or against? Apparently 510 HP - AWD.

the m5/m6 appeals to a different "class" if you will.
so a majority of people driving the higher tiered M's wouldn't be seen in a "3 series" hardly any m5/m6 owner is going to say "this new m3 is lighter and faster than my m5, i want it" |

Interesting. That is exactly what I was saying to myself. I guess I must not worry about what other people think.

For the same reason I wouldn't have a M8, M6, M4, M3 or M2, the M5 is the perfect M car for me because it's more then powerful enough for an everyday driver plus big enough for my family or 4 adults with a loaded trunk to travel in.
