• The M5 has plenty of options not available on the M3
• The M5 has that wonderous V10
• The M5 is just as good a performer as the E92 M3 will be
• ..etc.

Each car offers a different experience.

Thanks for explaining, but that retard didn't really deserve it after such a stupid couple of posts.

I hope they upgrade the bumper with the "cut-outs" while they're at it.

Erm, the M5 is considerably faster than the M3, especially when upgraded. (25% more cylinders to squeeze additional power from) Have you seen the Kellners M5? Fucking fast.

We're referring to the new ///M3. Performance should be quite similar. I do understand your intent however. That member truly discounts how wonderful the ///M5 is.

its good to know we're staying on topic. M5tt would be amazing and i can't wait to see bmw's future lineups.

[Phil325]

possibly M6tt?

I'm referring to the new M3 as well. My point still stands. I doubt the new M3 will be able to hit 200 either, since the cd of the 3 and 5 are essentially identical and 93 less HP hurts.

No the new m3 is not faster than an M5. The M5 has a higher top speed and accelerates better. Where did you get this useless unture information from?

Which is why I said similar.

They are going to HAVE to go FI if they are going to keep up with the other high performance sedans.

In particular the new CTS-V ...

I had an aftermarket supercharged CTS-V and I must say I was impressed with the cars overall performance. In 2008 with its new and improved interior quality/design, slightly more appeasing outward appearance, and the 100,000 warranty - the new 600HP CTS-V should give the M5 a great challenge.

Good point, especially if the CTSv is going to have a detuned version of the supercharged solution in the Z07 (ZR1 or whatever). It could possibly require a pulley change to unlock the full 700hp.
