M3 is still on the shortlist, kinda depends on what kinda deals I can get on them.

There is actually a lot of space in the back, considering it's a coupe.....M3 all the way no questions asked.

cool window shopping I like it
have fun
have fun
Wish me luck.
If I cannot find any good example M5's I may jump into a 2008 M3 Sedan if I find a deal too good to pass up.
Note: I think my dreams of owning a 911 TT are disappearing, when I testdrove the M5 I sat in a 911 right before and it was way to cramped for me
Maybe a Nissan Skyline is bigger....The second fun car is probably another 2 years down the road anyways

I chose the 2008 M3 over the M5, considering what I drive... 
pro's cons's etc.? Your reasoning?
