Just picked up my first BMW about a month ago, 97 M3 coupe. All I can say is, WOW! My old cars had speed, but nothing even comes close in overall luxury or driving experience. I look for windy roads, and take a longer drive home just for the driving. My question is, I love this m3 but sooner or later I want a M5. For those who have had or driven a M3, how do the 2 compare? I know I want the M5, but haven't driven one yet. Thats what you call a happy BMW owner.
