Whether it is or isn't, I think it's funny as heck... I wouldn't put it past her, though...

Post no question

m5 all the way-it is more luxurious and has one of the most refined engines in the world-61 hp greater than the m3's-and is also the engine found in the z8 of course, the m3 is very good as well

What does 61 more hp against M3 have to do with anything? M3 is a 3.2L and M5 is 4.9L does that ring a bell?

Angry M3 v. M5

you need to look at the numbers:
M3
3415 lbs
333 hp
262 lb/ft torque
4.8 0-60
155 mph top speed

M5
4024 lbs
394 hp
368 lb/ft torque
4.8 0-60
155 top speed

the m5 is not a ton over the m3
the m5 has a more substancial amount of torque than the m3
both cars have pretty much the same speed stats

hennessey tried to improve the m5 engine-he made it slower (m5 engine is very advanced-used in z8)
m3 has i-6 compared to v-8

m5 is more spacious and more expensive-if you got it for free you got a better deal
m5 is motor trends favorite sedan

I know the stats for it very well. What I am saying is what does having 61 more hp have to do with which is a better car. It's pretty lame to pick a car over another because of hp rating. If you said practicbility then I would have agree with you. E46 M3 has been honor as the best car ever produce by multiple magazine. So it doesn't take back seat against m5 being motor trend's best sedan honor.

By the way you won't find a 3.2L 6 cylinder out on market that's not forced inducted capable of producing 343hp (Euro Spec). The M3 engine is detuned as well. With a simple chip modification the car goes to 363hp.

BMW also have a lightweight 370 hp and 2900 lbs concept M3 race car. I think it was called M3 CSL.

M3 hands down

When comparing looks, there is no comparison. The M3 is the better looking car and the one I'd choose. I absolutely love the styling--it's so agressive and slick. It has enough torque/power for me.
