Hi Guys
I decided to sell my E60 520d and I will get either e92 m3 or e60 m5.
I have always been in love with atmospheric M engines, and the new f10 twin turbo stuff is not in my interest at all. Just like it will be for the new M3.
Here are the things I am after.
- I'll drive it to work as well.
- I'm 25.
I think I should go and buy m3 but give me opinions please

If I personally had to choose at this particular moment in my life I would go with an M3. I've realized I don't really need all the extra room in my E60. 
Are you planning on purchasing locally or importing? If you are importing have you decided from where?

Well a new one here is 166k Euros.
I'll either go for a 2nd hand with up to 15k kilometres, and they are around 120k Euros.
However I have no idea where to import. I wish I could import a GTS ! That would be the love of my life !

My Ride: E90 M3
Model Year: 2011
M3! But then I am biased... The interior space on the E9x platform is not that much less than the E60 platform. And the E92 has a bit more than my E90 sedan!

Well I decided to get M3.
The simple reasons are:
1- I'll drive daily
2- I'm 25
3- The quality of petrol is sh** here and its the world's most expensive petrol. Almost 3USD/litre
4- M3 is always a legendary car

I haven't sold my e60 yet. will buy the m3. shall get it in 1-2 weeks time, a few small things to deal with first.
I am getting it only because it's the last atmospheric m3. i felt very upset with the f10 m5 engine eventhough the new tech turbos are trustworthy, however i can't stand the idea of losing the atmospheric m spirit...
