It has been a long time since my last post. I wanna know all your opinions. What would you guys rather buy if y'all had about $70k, an M3 or a 550i. Honestly I am not sure which one I would take.

My vote: M3 if u have no kids...550 if you do

I test drove a 6sp with three people in the car. There were odd noises every time I shifted, more vibrations felt in the car, slight droning at certain rpm, felt like a heavy car, past 3k rpm it starts to come alive. Inside it's just a 3 series. The only thing glorious about the car was the engine, never had a chance to really throw it hard into the curves. When I was back in my '06 530i sport I was surprised how much smoother the ride was. I think those two are very different. Do you want space, comfort? Pick 550.

Divorced ... M3 Gay ... M3 Midlife crisis ... M3 Just lost your job ... M3 (E36) Just got hired ... M5 So the M3 wins 6 out of 8 situations. :P |

I love my "crass" 550. Thre is no substitute for cubic inches and the sound of a V8.
But in reality, for the size of the engine, the power output of 360 bhp is modest. BMW could have easily tweaked it to over 400 bhp. I would agree that a V8 has a lovely noise. However when you think that a "small" 4.3 litre scuderia 430 is a V8 putting out 483hp (never mind the massive difference in power to weight between a 550 and the scuderia) you can see that 360 HP is embarrassing for an engine that size. Europe seems to measure power by HP and the US by literage. Naturally enough Europe is correct. |
