just my 2 cents...
Not so sure. I'm lets just say beyond the mid 40's and am considering buying the M3 ( Yeah, I know, my wife calls me a juvenile). In any case, I would buy a M3 over a M5 because I can't justify the cost of the M5 (will never make full use of its "expensive" power on the city streets). The M3 gives me the power option at 2/3 's the cost of the M5 - This I can justify in my childish mind.
