Wait whats your line of work? Vert?? What about an M5?

after reading some post and being a huge bimmer fan this is all i can say...
i was going to get a 335 almost 2 years ago but the deal went sour (long story) and i got a 2007 530
after a year i got hit by a trailer on the highway and it totaled my car so i needed to get a new one
the choice was now between an m3 or a 535
i didnt even hesitate because even as a 21 year old i cold say that the m3 is a little kids car and the 5 series is a ballers car
m3 is not even that cool, it would be if it had the real M engine (i hate mercedes but they know what they did) bmw should have put the m5 and m6 engine in the m3 as well just like mercedes did with the c63
technically the m3 is like gettin a 550
and when you put it that way, it comes down to what would oyu rather have a 3 series or 5
and anyone could answer that question... 5
not to be a hater but the new m3 is stupid and almost the same as a 335

Merecedes did not put the exact same engine in the C63 as it did in the E63, S63 or SL63. Rather it put a de-tuned version of it. That is, the version of the 6.3 engine in the C63 has less bhp than in the upper models. That all being said, I would kill to have that engine in my 550 in place of the 360 bhp V8.

I agree with you that for my needs, I would never consider a 3. But if I were in my 20's again (wouldn't that be great :thumbsup:) I would go for the M3.

I have both (more or less) but 550i for me ..... so much more car IMHO

The 550i for sure. It's more practical and has all the power I'd ever need. Plus, I prefer the 5 series design.

hahaha :lol: I was waiting for that response! :twoup:

Funny you should ask. I have a client who used to live in South Florida, when she did, she drove a Rolls Royce Corniche convertible. She actually kept a jar of Grey Poupon mustard her glove box to deal with the hundreds of requests she got at stoplights asking if she had any Grey Poupon. She told me that when she would whip out the Grey Poupon, the questioner's jaw would usually drop open. She got a huge kick out of it.

bwahahahaha :lol: that's classic!

agreed!

....do you need a back seat?

Yes => 550

No => M3

I have 3 boys.....no chance of a 3er for me....my next one is gonna be a M5 (but I will have to look real close at the X6)

Yeah that client is hilarious.
