no faster than my M5
Don't get me wrong... I love the E39 M5 and am not trying to take any thing away from it. And agree it's not

Sorry... that was the salon.
The coupe is a bit quicker - and lighter I guess!
Saying that, I can not vouch for the accuracy of the 0-60 time quoted... the internet is full of bullshit.
However I would have though weight would be less prone to inaccuracy.
But internet stats aside... I still believe the M39 M5 is slower than the M90 M3!

Cheers Gad.
The new M3 look superb and is getting rave reviews (apart from poor brakes)
It's revvy too.
Seeing as the Coupe can be had for low 30's, i'd be interested.
RE the 0-60 times, the auto is a touch quicker according to BMW website.

I'd put it about the same as the difference between the E46 M3 and E39 M5

had a 911 driver come up to me in the pits demanding to know what I had done to my S2000. It was stock. He thought his car was far superior to the S2000. He was wrong.
What model 911 did the demanding man drive?

It might be similar on paper, but the M3 is a much sharper driving tool and the engine is even more impressive
M3s are supposed to be sports saloons and M5s, continent crushers
an S2000 is sharper than an M5 too
the difference in engines is more to do with personal preference
