Whats the better car, the M5 or the M3? Which do you like the most?

If I had to choose one I say the M3. The e30 M3 has been my favorite BMW for a very long time with the e34 M5 a close second. They're both amazing cars and a lot of fun to drive. It is very much comparing apples and oranges when it comes to the way they feel on the road as may already know. The M3 takes it in the fun department but the M5 is not too far behind.

Thanks! yeah Im just using Photoshop CS4, to get the graininess you gotta play with the image levels and mess with the sharpen filter to get the desired effect.

Oh man that sucks! :( Im sorry to hear that. I totally hear you, I TRY so hard to stay out of people's way. Living around here in the NYC/NJ area where it's so congested and the roads are like meat grinders I try very hard to stay off the road during rush hour or streets where I know there are a lot of cabs. One never knows but I try to reduce the risk for sure.

:) Thanks guys. My plan is to rebuild my M3 and repaint it Jet Black like the M5. Once I do that later on this summer I'm trying to work out a deal with Klaus Schnitzer who shoots for Roundel and Bimmer magazine to do a full photo shoot of both cars. He is a great guy and very talented so I can't wait for that :buttrock

I dont think the car is stock..it looks lowered and it has shrek ears. Chris what suspension setup are you running?

[ramirez54]

Yup just a couple of mods, I have a set of Bilstein sports with Bav Auto springs. M-Technic mirrors were a pain to find on German Ebay but I managed to score a set. I decided to get rid of he self leveling suspention, rear shock was leaking a bit so I saw it as a perfect chance to go with the Bilsteins.
