M5 or M3
#11
I owned a Three series before my current Five (neither were M cars though). If it's practicality and prestige your're after, the Five is the clear choice. If it's handling, you can't beat the Three.
I know nothing of the Six, other than it looks very cool and is rarer. I can't imagine with the size of it that it could outrun the Three in the twisties.
My Five is the best car I have owned, but I sure miss my Three (sigh).
I really like the new shape of the E90, looks more like the E60 than any other model BMW has built.

If money wouldn't be a problem i would go for the M3 competition package...and then throw in an extra 15000euros and make it a rocket. Supercharging +ecu, full titanium exhaust, gruppe m intake and many more could turn out a +500hp rocket that would smash an m5 and not to mention about uniqeness...
but hey i'm the guy that dreams for a CSL...but maybe in the future an M6 CSL looool
