lol! Not me. Frankly, I couldn't care less about either of them. Would not move from an M5/6 to the little sister.

A lot of money for a car like this. Honestly, if I were shopping for a track/weekend car as a second car, I'd never buy this car. Z06/Z07 is so much better or a used Porsche. If I must have 1 car, I'd get the M5. If I were single, then maybe the M4 because M6 is just too big for a 2 door car. |

I touched the shortcut buttons today in the M4, they squeaked. We were going over bumps and the door seals were creaking. I mean come on, this is a 80k car now. Last time we were buying a "high revving 4 liter 8400 rpm special engine", now it's a turbo charged 3.0 liter engine. What is so special about it this time? It's just not worth the money! Not at least when you have the previous model! As I said earlier, M3 has always been a compromise car. That being said, it always promised a first for a technology/performance aspect and was always revolutionary. 8400 rpm revving V8 or dual clutch transmission in an affordable 4 door car, that's a first. The car was well worth the premium last time. What do we have this time around? What's so special about it this time? The only way I'd buy this car is if I am financially constrained and cannot afford the M5. It's my opinion that you gain very little over the previous generation and give up too much over M5/M6 for the kind of money you pay for this car (at least right now with MSRP+). M5 laps hockhenheimring same time as the M3. That's unbelievable. It does the nurburgring 3 seconds slower. Again, unbelievable. I strongly believe there is not a single soul in this forum who will be able to professionally race an M3 over an M5 and see the difference in a race track. How many of us will be able to take the car to its limit to the point where M3 will win over the M5? Really. |

Personally, I can afford a M5 or A GTR but preferred to get the M3. GTR to me lacks interior wow factor. Great performance car and I was like 5 seconds away from getting it until I drove the M5. I didn't want it because I already have the F10 platform already. Some people money isn't an issue and some it is. The M3 to me suits the needs that I have. May not for you but it is for me, at least for now until something else comes out or until the M5 is AWD and drops 300lbs. |

I just saw this one. Usually their numbers are much slower than the real number since they do not do measurement on sea level so cars lose some horse power at that altitude but the question is how far the numbers are????
BTW they submitted 4.2 sec for M6 at this altitude last time... Does it mean S55 loses much more power??? I saw this formula (I'm not sure if applies to any car): HP(loss) = elevation (feet) x 0.03 x HP /1000

As I said, car makes too much torque for its chassis. I had the same problem during my test drive, the rear constantly gives out. For some reason M5 does not have this problem, at least to this extent.

Let's be fair this car is a lot heavier than old M3 with those 2 giants - in the car and they had no clue how to launch it a d I believe if this did the same to our cars M5 or M6 you won't see below 5 either ! Just saying Truing to be not biased here |

Great review! As usual. From all the reviews I've read, and videos I've seen, this picture best describes what I'm deducing. lol

You actually are right then ! But why are we comparing such a beauty (Exactly like yours) to this M4? We can try to compare but they are worlds apart and it saddens me that some people think if this M4 (Which I thought about jumping on more than once - But what prevents me is this ----> It doesn't come close to the league of M5 - M6 even if it takes it over (Theoretically, but we may see it on the track in the near future)!! Same applies to a tuned Ducati bike taking over a Veyron! ! Doesn't mean anything of course - except to the Ducati guy who thought that he had apples to apples race!! |

Great reviews and comments everyone. I own an M3 and M5 and love both cars equally. But for day-to-day duties, the M5 is a step up in every category. I even tracked the M5 and really enjoyed it.
They are great cars and each has their own target audience. However, 87K for a fully loaded M4 is a lot of money to spend on an M3/4 and pretty much negates the incredible value M3s of the past used to provide. |

Just saying it would help if you let everyone know the rollout times were in the 2+ range I mean give the car to m6beast or greentrbo95gst and then if its still trapping below 120 with quality rollouts I'll personally be more than willing to reassess my view of the new platforms. http://www.n54tech.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=193 2.2 60ft stock and 2.4 alpha BMS... |
