what is the difference??

is the styling and proformance that different to buy a M3?

im thinking its just the money. will the m3 sedan have a stronger engine since it has to hule more metal?

W/ the E90 M3 yet to be released I among many other people wouldn't know. However it can be assumed that it will be a different experience, and probably the more sporty between the two given the size. We do know that the E90/1/2/& 3 will all use a variation of the M5's 5.0 V-10, basically two less cylinders. Same engine. Perhaps an M3 concept will make an appearence in Geneva and we shall know some interesting info then.

M5 will fit 4 people comfortably and have the bigger engine I believe...It is a beast!

the M3 sedan will be like the M5's baby brother in my opinion. But if I had 100k I'd buy the M3 over the M5 because it is smaller and sportier. Most people think the M5 is the "true" beast. Afterall, the 3-series is the entry level BMW.

I would prefer the newer M3 over the M5, for I feel M3 it would be better and fun car to drive vs the M5, and maybe at a third of the cost less.
