[Damage Inc]

Considering one as I'd like a larger car than my e90 m3.

The engine was loud, very mechanical sounding. i do prefer the sounds of the m3. there's really not that much more back seat room over the e90 however the trunk is much larger.

Pro
more space
more power
more luxurious feel to the drive, more planted, not as "jumpy" as the m3 (we have horrible roads here)
better engine and intake sounds

Cons
not as agile
smg is horrible (i've owned one before) it doesnt match the luxury character of the car
scared to death of maintanence out of warranty
mpg
new 5 series will be out soon

overall its obviously a great car. i would take it in a second. however i dont think now is a good time with the new one coming out as they will take a major resale hit in the next 18 months.
