I'd agree with you but the range on the M5 is pitiful. 220-250 miles on a tank.

You not going to get much more room space so might might as well pick whichever one you like better. If room is a big issue better get a bigger car. Looks wise it's just a matter of preference. Of course all the sedan owners will say the sedan will look better and vise versa. IMO i think the coupe looks better than the sedan.

I ordered a coupe. I think it looks better than the sedan, especially in the rear tail lights.

Planning on having a kid, but figured we'd use mostly the wife's car when driving with the baby. The coupe still has enough room, but I know it'll be a pain to get the baby in and out of the back.

PS. My wife likes the coupe better than the sedan also. =)

congrats

arr0gant · 07-15-2008, 05:02 PM

Ya, I don't think the OP is asking us which is the better looking car. That would be stupid.

Coupe FTW...done

super helpful posts.

arr0gant · 07-15-2008, 09:23 PM

I have an Idea, lets take a poll of who thinks which looks better. Then the OP will know which one to buy.

Zirenz2006 · 07-15-2008, 09:29 PM

Coupe looks better

valeram · 07-15-2008, 09:32 PM

Maybe we can talk Randy Newman into writing a song.

335i people got, no reason

Actually, barring mental retardation or other disqualifying factors, my offspring will be attending West Point, Annapolis, or Colorado Springs. I don't believe in paying for college. I have done it on my own, and so will my kid. National service is a very honorable conviction. Nothing irks me more than a spoiled kid. My stepfather instilled withing me the fact that national service is a person's responsibility, not a choice. He was drafted into the Vietnam war. He did his time, I have done mine. My child will do its! Sorry for the close minded rant!

I actually was shopping C63's and M3's here in Japan, and believe it or not, they both sell for over 100 grand! It is utterly unbelievable that we as Americans, pay half of what the rest of the world pays. It is nice to be blessed!

I have decided upon M3, and I am dying to choose the body that best suits me. I am leaning sedan at this point. No small kudos due to this thread!

Thanks for looking out. I am glad that the global BMW community has responded in such a positive manner. You guys have embraced me with open arms.

Thank you very much!

Please don't be a dick! I am soliciting forum member opinions that will form this soldiers foundation for his $55,000 automobile purchase.
