850i or M series which would you choose

I have to say owning an 8 series is one of the best feelings i've had towards an automobile. Its' sleek styling, defined lines, powerful V12 make it a great car in any situation. I still get people asking me if its a new model BMW. I have a little over 100,000 miles on the car and it feels like it was just driven off the brand new car lot. It is not the fastest car, but it sure feels like it owns any road that it is on, especially the freeway. Boy this car is a rocket at high speeds. It just keeps on going and going without any lag. Comparing an m3 to an 8, there is no comparison. They are two very different cars. But if anyone get a chance to own one, it is definitely worth it.

I own both, and have to say there is no comparison. They are two very unique and different cars! But one thing I love about my 850 is that it always gets put in the front of hotels and restaurants. This car always turns heads and astonishes people.

I would choose the 850 CSi and get both an e31 and an M car.
