Looking to buy a M5 or M3. Don't really need the size of a M5 but would like the power. M3 is more my size. Does anyone know when the new M3 will be out? Should I just buy the M5 or wait? What do you think? Any differences other then the engine?

If M5 is too big and M3 won't come before 1, 1 1/2 year. I would go for the M6 instead. This is simply awesome and beautiful to drive. I did a 1/2 an hour of test drive and was astonished.

...no comparison as the E90 is an UGLY car, dont matter what performance it has...the M5 is the ultimate sedan and the M6 is the ultimate coupe

I'm liking that photoshopped picture that's floating around. Wider fenders, power-dome, and the front air dam. But I actually think BMW will tone-down the actual version. All speculation of course.

My apologies if this has already been posted, but I came across these photoshops which appears to be more believable of the final product (in my eyes at least) of the e90 M3:

I think it will take me some time to warm up to it. Maybe by next year I'll like them a little more.
