Its interesting BMW would use the word "trouncing" when comparing its own cars.

Same here and many people who drive the track prefer the older models (Gutted) of course... 
As a new owner of an '08 ///M5, '06 650i, past tester of the E46 style ///M3 and owner of the E46 330Ci with performance package, and on the current list for the new '08 ///M3, we shall see who is 'KING'.
In my book the big dawg (V10) beats'em all since the ///M group always brings it's best to the ///M5 & ///M6. Of course this is my opinion based on some fact but all in all, each has its very own strong heritage and qualities which is the very reason I have all the toys and not just one.

These dealers will say anything to sell their stock. Before i bought my M5, my dealer had 1 M5 in stock and had just sold their last M3 stock at that time, and guess what they said..."The M5 is a way better car than the new M3 anyway..."! Car salesmen will be car salesmen

The 6er mostly... I have put the 7er out but the wife complains. You all know if the wife isn't happy, nor will the house be.
