In reply to ICL32 on last thread...

M3 has traditionally been faster than M5 in the lower speeds, 0-60 (E46 M3 0-60 < E39 M5 0-60), maybe 0-100 and always faster around the track. I am sure this will continue with the new M3. BMW marketing may need to put a totalitarian spin on which car is "better" or "above" but we all know the M3 is always more of a sports car and more of a performer in most ways. +1 on comment below about M3 eclipsing 911, if this is indeed true we have nothing to worry about. The power to weight ratio ( http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45077 ) of the new M3 supports the besting of the 911 as well.
