Let's say you were to be given one (so price is not a factor) and you cannot sell it and buy something else (no selling an M5 and buying an M3 and have cash left for mods)
Which would you see you driving? I'd actually take the M3 over the M5 - I just prefer a lighter car. You?

Yeah, assuming that Mods could come later I take the M3. I prefer the looks anyways. Are we talking about an E46 M3?
This really is a tough call, though.

I own both a 740i and 540i BMW. The new M5 is the ultimate machine...al the power,ride, handling that makes for a car in this price range.
I suggest you drive both. The M3 is more nimble, but the M5 has gobs of power that can't be resisted.

For racing purposes I'd take the M3, to pimp around the M5 is better (more place for girls in the back)
Desireable constelation would be E36 M3 with the M5 engine |

i couldnt decide here.. both are badass machines.. i think id go with the m3 though...the m5 would probably do a lot better from the " impressing your friends" aspect, but the m3 would do a lot better in the " fun to drive" aspect i think..

The M5 is a true sportscar, it is only available in manual transmission, only stick shift, no automatic garbage allowed

I would call the M5 a true sporty car but for a sportscar it's just too havey. Anyway I made my choice the E36 shape (especially the front) is a perfect BMW.

i dunno IMO the M5 is the best, I love the shape and everything
It isn't a true sportscar, but it's one HELL of a sporty sedan I can juss imagine myself pullin up to like a porsche carrera, a true sportscar and beating it with a 4 door sedan, that would be funny and fun |

No question on a freeway but in the Swiss mountains you'll encounter some problems while cornering.

M5
It's a tough call. Both are nice, but I think I would go with the M5 if I had the money. I also like the idea of having all that power in a sedan platform.
