With the age of my kids and their car seats I need the extra space of the E60 or else I would have waited for the M3 Sedan. It is hard to tell what the marketplace will offer in 3 years but the M3 Sedan is my anticipated choice. That is a lot of performance and practicality for the dollar.

Ya! thats really good pricing! much cheaper than I thought I thought it would totally be like 64K or something closer to the RS4 pricing. Man who would get the RS4 if the M3 sedan is like $12K cheaper and better!
|
Personally I think the M3 sedan will be a bit small to fit the kids in the back.
I originally considered the 550 but with the twin turbo motor coming I decided to get a 535 instead. I think the next car I get will be the new 5 series due out in 2010 with the twin turbo V8. Add some chip tuning and it should be able to out accelerate the m3 easily |
M3 Baby!!! my six months old son would be fine in the back

Wow, that is very surprising. Great job BMW, they even undercut the IS-F by about $2k. No one is going to get the IS-F now. I bet a lot of people pass on the 550i for $4k more and get the sedan M3.

Ya. Totally unexpected to me... say bye bye RS4... ISF... C63... etc etc... BMW is king still! But I doubt those who need the size of a 550 will get a M3 sedan... there will be a few... but not much. |
Yes, the new M3 is tempting at that price ... but I'm going to wait until the M DCT comes out and then take a look.
One choice some may now consider is whether to buy a new M3 or a used M5. :think: |
