The M5 will be a maintanance mightmare and the 328 will not be fast enough. Of course everyone will say get the M3. With th 540 you are looking at a serious powerplant in a pimp car. A plush, easy ride that can still rip through the twisties. Now if you were talking about a 528 thats different, but for what you are describing the 540i is your best bet.

Exactly!!!

Go for the E39 540i six-speed!! The M3 E36 is not so pimp looking, and it has only &^%&^% six cylinders ...

Try the 540i and you will love it.

The 540 is really fast above 100 with some minor mods, and the 4.4 V8 is sweet.

97 M3s 1/4 mile is also better than the 91 M5, But if you have a family or,your going to start one go w/ the M5. Either way you made a excellent decsion going w/ a bimmer. And for those non- believes out there. You can go to www.car-stats.com & compare my info. peace!

I have now narrowed my choice to M3 and 540, but I still don't know chich one !

The sounds and power of both is incredible

maybe a 540 would be more original and pimp, but I'm not sure, I have one month and a half to decide !

BTW: I am also looking at S4's '00, I didn't say it before because I knew you were biased

@m3racer36
you have to be about the closest person to me
There just isn't enough street racing around here.
like i said in one of the other threads all you have around here is cars that are all looks and muscle. I drive a 96 Monte Carlo LS and I outran a neon that had all kinds of "performance" upgrades.
he didn't have sh!t.
it's pitiful there isn't anything on my car except factory parts.
