C'mon, the 5 is going to walk the 3 from legal speed limits on up.
There's no getting around it, HP vs. aerodynamics. Buzzed out, foot in the throttle at 120, weight really isn't an issue.

I dont think so. See M5 vs M6. I guess anything with less series number should be slower (for the M)...just for the sake of "money" justice. 
How did the previous M3 compare to the previous M5? That will probably answer your question.

Some of us have traded in their E60's for an E90.
How's about trading in my 545i for the New M3 with a V8 (sedan?)

As an owner of both an e46 and e60, I'm always reminded of how small (tight) the cabin of the 3-series feels everytime I drive it.
Needless to say, the specs on the upcoming e90 M3 will be difficult for me to ignore (assuming BMW gives her some good numbers under the hood).

A recent spy shot of the E92 M3 said the photo taker could hear the V8 rumble
