I think I'd take the M3 over the M5 as the former can be ordered without iDrive...assuming its options are similar to that of a standard E90.

I would also love to see the current E46 M3 engine (333 HP) dropped into the 1-series!

M5 with a V-10 and 500HP? screw the M3...it'll never beat the M5 in the long run. acceleration, yes, but...never in the long run. I LOVE the M5, its my fav car.

The M5 just spews manliness. It can go, PLUS it's practical as all hell. It's like "Yeah, look at me. I'm a man. A big, strong man. So big and strong, in fact, that I don't need to pretend to be better by having only two doors. And my back seat is big enough for an orgy. Take your silly ass coupes and roadsters and get out of my way before I eat them for breakfast"
