The dilemma between 3 bimmers!

exo-ak-dk · 12-22-2007, 07:00 AM

My father is looking for some advice!

He is going to by a new bimmer but he can't decide which one he will buy.

And here comes the dilemma:

Which one should he buy?

BMW M5, 2006, 24.125 km (Sport and a bit comfort)

BMW 760li, 2006, 15.000 km (LUXURY!)

BMW M3 model 2008, 0 km (Ahh sport!)

I would pick the M3 myself!

But lets se whats comes out of this!

dawgdog · 12-22-2007, 08:49 AM

M3 would be my preference as driving dynamics, not size, is important to me.

TurboFan · 12-22-2007, 09:10 AM

2006 M5 is my choice. Bad ass in a tuxedo.

DFW_M · 12-22-2007, 09:16 AM

+1 with TurboFan

However, three completely different cars -- so most likely he's looking for something specific that would take out at least one car immediately -- space, doors, comfort... You can fit the whole M3 into the 7...

I'd go with M5, especially if manual.

kenni243 · 12-22-2007, 09:23 AM

2006 M5

sport/comfort/power/luxury all in 1 package!

IM2C · 12-22-2007, 10:29 AM

My vote goes to M3. Nothing like brand new car.

exo-ak-dk · 12-22-2007, 10:40 AM

hehe i think that it's a match between M3 and M5!

Can I get some more opinions about these two cars?

and i might say that, my father will only use the car for driving around and to work....and so there will not be passengeres(maybe my mom sometimes)

And of course I will borrow the his car, now and then :P

Perpetrator · 12-22-2007, 11:52 AM

Get the M5 for now. Give the M3 a few years to work out the kinks, and to avoid the crazy mark ups.

The M5 is kinda like a marriage between the M3 and 7. Larger sedan, but with M blood.

purplewidow · 12-22-2007, 01:21 PM

m3 all the way...fastest computers put in a production car ever...m idrive with setting that really change the way the car feels...crystal lines cylinders,butterfly valves...oh i am about to cum in my pants....m3 all the way!!!!!!!!!

Dont buy a car because of what WE think as we have different preferences. It all depends on what he wants. Obviously he doesnt know that yet or else he wouldnt cross compare a 7series with an M5 and M3. At least narrow it down to sport with some luxury or luxury with a sporty edge. Otherwise you're gonna be scratching your head trying to figure out which car is best for YOU!

Dragonman4 · 12-22-2007, 02:31 PM

You could always do what jeremy clarkson says and get the M5, push the m mode button when you want it to drive like an m3, and turn it off when you want it to drive like the 7 series. =P

Personally I'd take the M5 myself. It's a great combination of both worlds. Great all-arounder and +1 to turbofan as those are my thoughts exactly.

carchrism5 · 12-22-2007, 07:05 PM

m5, little luxury and some sport, i agree the new m3 may have some kinks to work out, and the 760Li is pretty big and i assume if he is also considering the m3 he really doesnt need that much space,

Expired · 12-22-2007, 07:16 PM

M5 or the M3 Sedan.

Wait for the e90 M3. That way your pops will be able to get that new dual clutch tranny.

vladinecko · 12-23-2007, 01:21 AM

7er. that's what i'd get for my dad.

shimshimhada · 12-23-2007, 01:28 AM

I would pass on the 7er and the M3. With the depreciation on M5s nowadays, it's a steal for a 500hp sedan. Sporty and business at the same time.

e92man · 12-23-2007, 02:26 AM

m5

12-23-2007, 04:29 AM

probably the M3. if your dad is going to use one of these cars as a daily driver - definately not the M5.... that thing eats gas like no other!

FirstClass · 12-23-2007, 04:37 AM

M5

Hands down both the best and fastest car on the list.

montreal red · 12-23-2007, 09:04 AM

m5 ...more comfort but lots of power available when you want it.

Maroon · 12-23-2007, 10:19 AM

M5

mgasaad · 12-23-2007, 02:22 PM

I will go with the M5. Although this is about your fathr but I am in the same siuation as him. for years my mind was fixed on the M3 but now with the wait, lack of clear prices and possible markups. I feel that the M 5 is a better choice, I even considered the 650i with no waiting list and no markup and I can buy it tomorrow if I want. The M5 comes with very little more opitons to add to it and power, speed, business look and comfort are all plus marks. Your father will enjoy the 7 ride but if you are going to drive this car as well I will try my best to make him buy the M5. That is just my opinion. Good luck your father is not going to have a bad choice anyways.
