If one expects it to handle like a M3, then no one will buy the M3. Each and every ///M car has its own specific market. M5 is like a muscle car, with practicality. Have anyone noticed how well padded the front seats are with all the creature comforts? When I drove the M5, I have to brake earlier and be gentle with the throttle input, below the bonnet that engine is a beast. You need to respect this beast!! Not easy to drive it to the limit, more so if you are an on-off throttle type of driver as it will go sideways easily. On the straight, it will pull away from the M3 easily. If you prefer sharp handling, agility and more track focused driving then get the M3. It's natural habitat is on the track, you can do wonders with it and despite going lap after lap the NA engine can take all the abuse without breaking a sweat. I simply love that car, after driving it for 4 days on the track. I don't know if there is any car that offers so much fun and yet durable and practical. Cheers</blockquote>
