This is such an amazing car

NullCheck · 06-27-2014, 07:42 PM

Went from f10 m5 into f80 m3. Already put 100 miles on her. What a blast. So much fun, so involved, unbelievable. I am so glad I got rid of the whale.

I will write a very detailed review soon once I have time as all I am doing is driving this car.

F10 M5 = Boeing 747
F80 M3 = F35

I think that says it all.

Nice…like the analogy!

dwildone · 06-27-2014, 07:44 PM

Can you post the same post in the M5 board?? We can all chip in for a flak jacket and bodyguard

Congrats on the new car.

ersin · 06-27-2014, 08:11 PM

No, no, no.

F80 M3 = F22.

There, fixed. The F35 is just too far over budget.

Cheers.

Blasphemy!

enjoy sir

GrussGott · 06-28-2014, 12:58 AM

it's a good comparison since except for price, size, and almost all of the parts the M5 and M4 are practically the same car.

[edit: not for the OP! original quote disappeared!]

Mortis · 06-28-2014, 01:40 AM

Congrats!

Blindside_137 · 06-28-2014, 08:44 AM

Funny! So many M5 owners that take a drive in it hate it!

Everyone's different I guess!

acey81 · 06-28-2014, 08:47 AM

Depends on what you like. The M5 is more comfortable. But for everything else there is the M3.

Romo · 06-28-2014, 08:51 AM

Take a 1M=F-16

Actually, what is more accurate is that M5 drivers that have no desire to change their car take a drive in an F8x and claim that they hate it.

It's human nature; (most) people like to see other people agree with them, it helps validate their decisions in their mind. Pretty much almost everyone does something similiar.

Oh, and for the comparison, it's probably more accurate to call the M5/6 a Concorde SST, because it is damn fast....in a straight line.

Exactly. It's just funny to me, like I said and everyone is different. The cars are totally different as well.

How are you liking the stiffer seats on the M3 compared to the M5? I have sat in both and the comfort level for me was a huge difference.

NullCheck · 06-28-2014, 11:22 AM

Neither myself nor my wife can tell the difference with seats. They are just more than good enough for me.

The amount of leg room in the back is ridiculous. M5 seats were so thick, the leg room in the back was much less. I am 6'0" and behind my seat there is enough room for someone to sit AND another person to stand up in front of him while bending.

I guess your wife found out about that the hard way. Sounds like a good break in practice though.

Yes, yes she did find out about it the 'hard' way.

M5 M6 M3 all great cars and kudos to each person that owns one of these cars... Honestly who gives a shit about which is better than other? I am excited for my new M3 but if I decided to have a few kids down the road then M5 would be my choice but over all, they all are special cars.
