So my friend is facing a Dilemma. M3 2010 or S5 2010. Both have the same outer and inside interior. Grey outside, red inside.

I told him to go with the M3 as he cannot go through his life without experiencing the "M" POWER.

But I got to admit, that S5 is pretty darn good looking.

And a small question, Do you guys know when will the next generation of 3 series will come out? He doesn't want his car to get outdated 3yrs from now.

What do you guys suggest?

Has he driven them both?

I could be wrong, but I believe the Audi 6 series is getting a full redesign in 2012.

Maybe its just me, but an M3 vs S6 debate seems odd to me. M3 vs S4 or M5 vs S6 seem more common.

I personally would go E60 M5.

If your friend values performance first then it is M3 by a mile. But if luxury and comfort are key, then the S6 wins. Two totally different cars.

a M will never be out dated. haha at least to me... a M will always be a M and will awe me.

He hasn't driven any as both dealers don't have test drives for these type of cars.

Yes, I do know the comparison is different.

And I think the S5 is to be compared with the 650i(if not lesser engine) rather the M5. It doesn't come near the M power engines.

My friend drives now the Mustang GT (40yrs anniversary special) and has a RR Sport Supercharger.

So yes, he does crave for power (but not into racing at all).

Is the M3 comfortable in driving? how about the SMG III ( This question is for marc, so how does it compare in comfort to ur E60? )

I would test drive both. What does he want - smaller and more nimbler or a bit larger with a V10? I think it all depends on the type of driving he does. The A6 line is going to be replaced in 2012 and the 3 series line is due to be replaced in 2014. It is possible that you will not have a new body style S6 until 2013.

I thought it would change in 2013? could be wrong though
