420bhp / 295ft/lbs and what... 4000+ lbs?...

3500 curb, 500 more than a E30 M3.

[rturbo 930]

E30 M3s were not 3000lbs, more like 700 more than an E30 M3.

Im also not buying the 3500# claim... doesnt matter though its not a car for me. If I was going to get a "big, heavy" sedan it would be a C63, but that really will never happen either hah

[roguetoaster]

E90/2 M3s are 3600 to 3700lbs wet, no passengers.

[2mAn]

Thats more believable. My 4000# was TIC, but 3500 definitely seemed low. I think a basic-bitch 328 weighs that much so with all the extra stuff the M3 had I figured it was 37-3800...

Ok, which would you rather have?

E90/2 Sedan M3 or E39 M5? Both are V8 manual cars, and probably weigh about the same with similar HP output

[roguetoaster]

M5, all day, no question.

[Northern]

E39 all day.

[MR E30 325is]

I agree with the two above me. E39 M5 by a literal mile. There is no comparison in my eyes.

[DEV0 E30]

E39 M5 no question.

It's on the list of sedan's I'd really consider if I had the money for upkeep and everything.

e92 m3 kerb 3649
e90 m3 kerb 3704

Since that's measured with 90% fuel, a full tank and driver puts them very close to 4k.

That being said, they feel a lot lighter than they are after driving them.

Hey guys, speaking of...

Yes, 2 previous accidents, but low miles. This is Doug Demuro's answer to BaT.

If I was in the market, this thing is pretty.

[2mAn]

Ive started watching their auctions too... was tempted a few times to bid, but Im committed to NO NEW CARS... until my wife is closer to popping In February

Between an e90 and e39 ///M sedans I think I'd actually go with the e90. Probably just a little bit tighter and nimbler than the 5er, and I like the widened fenders.

I wonder which one has more total M badges as delivered?

You won't be disappointed

Maybe when it's time for rod bearings.

Some people do that service as routine maintenance, but who cares.. v8 3 series with a 6 speed.

I'd like it. Though a SS 1LE is also high on the list but is more expensive...
