A small M5! Great idea. The M5 always appealed as it's a four door, but the new one is too extreme for everyday driving (15MPG).
A four door V8 M3 sounds perfect.

Yeah... but the new 3 series has such a small trunk, you can't even get a golf bag inside without taking your driver and 3 wood out. I just had a 325 loaner, and had to do this. Not very practical.

I agree that this not an M3 body. I would expect more aggressive body work, black window trim, and front fender vents.

Well... I can only fit 1 golf bag like I have in my 545 trunk... but at least I can leave the driver and 3 wood in.
They were not taking Staff Bags into account when they made the "4 golf bag diagram" picture.

As long as the trunk/boot fits my girlfriend hiding from my wife, I'm OK with that.

"Mistress"?
Hey, hey, hey let's use the proper term. She's a female friend or coworker nothing more nothing less...
Will history repeat itself where the New M3 and New M5 will be pretty much be neck and neck at least in 0 to 60mph and 1/4 mile times?
