Got a test drive booked for a F80 M3 this afternoon, kind of hoping I don't like it as it will be a wrench to part with my E60 M5. My wife has never driven the E60 in over 3 years and won't drive it either which can be a pain sometimes. The M3 is almost 3 times the cost and will depreciate heavily.
Wouldn't be surprised if in 5yrs or so a tidy E60 M5 would be worth about the same as an F80 M3 - the engine has made it a future classic for sure and more chance of appreciation than depreciation these days![quote=Shaoxter]
Well that was quick!
Congrats and linky to the car? [/

Love it!! What an awesome spec.
Would be interested to hear the comparisons and why you changed.
Give it a few weeks and I'll post something up. The DCT gearchange is lightning quick. Suprised at how comfortable the ride was in the M3. Carbon brakes were a bit crap from cold, stabbed them once hard and then they were brilliant. I would be suprised if any other M3 has more spec as I've never seen one on the AUC site. Someone was test driving it when I arrived and I had to wait as they were running through figures car was possibly sold but then the guy went to look at a C63 and said he would phone back at the end of the day. I liked the test drive plus the wife drove it and liked it and I knew one with this spec wouldn't come up again local to me and the figures worked out so put a deposit on it as it was never going to hang around.Would be interested to hear the comparisons and why you changed.
