What would you guys rather buy - an m3 or a 550i?

C'mon, you know you love your 550, but we would ALL prefer the M5. I don't mind being called old, if I have the M5 - I will still dust the young'uns

Of course I love my 550. I have yet to own a car where I felt satisfied with the amount of power.

Then we both need to get an M5, if THAT doesn't satisfy you, well not sure even what to tell you. I had the SRT8 Jeep with mods to get to 500WHP, it was good, still doesn't hold a candle to an M5.

F10 M5. Looking like it might make 600 bhp. That has to be enough power, right? 

Maybe for a month

the M is DEFINITELY my next car, almost bought the 86 M6 in the dealer today - I just love that car, it's old but it's badass.

I chose a 550i
more practical as every day driver, and easily holds 4 adults.

I love cars but I have never been on a race track. I have never been on a twist mountain road but I drive fast on highways. A 550i is actually fine for me.
I heard the next gen M3 will not have a V8 anymore. If it did have a 6-cylinder engine again, would you guys still have an M3 over a 550?
