Any E90 M3 owners considering moving up to F10 M5?
Has any current E90 M3 owners thought about moving up to the M5 when it debuts just by looking at what the non M5 has to offer? I’m wondering if it will be able to handle as well as the M3 through the corners.

To big for my taste. Plus I'm not a fan of forced induction, this generation M-5 will fall short of that beautiful sounding S85 V10. The new one might be faster more Hp and Torque but it's still FI engine thumbs down for Turbo motors.

Anyone that OWNS the current M3 knows how good it is. Any bigger and you start to lose that awesome feel. The M3 never gets itself out of shape. I've spent plenty of seat time in both the current M5 and M6 and you can "feel" the suspention working to keep things in order in both those cars. The M3 is just sharp as can be, always. Further, the M3 engine is absolutely sublime, with characteristics very much like a Ferrari.
As for the X5M, I'm very disappointed BMW went that route, whoring out the M badge for $$$. |

I thought about it, and might pull the trigger some day. My boys are approaching 6 feet and the 3 is simply too tight for them to be comfortable in back. In the meantime, I'm on the prowl for a nice 07-09 6mt M5. I may be going to Manheim with the local dealer soon...

I currently own an '07 e60 M5 6mt and I am at the point now where I do not need the 4 doors. I have an e92 M3 on order (I have always liked smaller, lighter cars). I hate the fact that ///M is now going to FI. I have owned both FI and NA cars and there is nothing like a high revving NA engine. The S54, S65 and S85 engines will be the last of their kind for a long time. Enjoy it while you can! |
