It is beyond me why the I6 can only be found in a few cars these days. It is a perfectly naturally balanced engine that requires no counterweights and nearly eliminates stress and wear to the engine block, cylinders and pistons. Kudos to BMW for sticking by the trusty I6. I would love to see an american sedan (Taurus?) have a nice big Slant-6 in it that will last for 400,000 miles. that could sell some cars. buy it and keep it for half a million miles.

Nothing like a car that is easily daily driven, and then can be driven hard when you want to. BMW M always gets it right. I agree with the article.

Fact is they are way more comfortable in my M5 then the 3 series loaner I had a few weeks ago. In addition to that the finish (plastic) in the cabin could use some serious help. i am 6'3 and 210lbs - big guy - the size of the M5 is just better suited to a guy like me. To make the M5 better I would simply improve fuel effeciency a bit, and get that SMG III out and put in a MDCT... it would be heaven. Other than that there are options on teh M5 that the M3 lacks and needs - Heads up display, heated steering wheel, and active seats would be nice. Not to mention the V10 roar that is absolute insanity, it pulls, and sounds almost better then my buddies Ferrari. Nonetheless I am proud to say that BMW makes both these dream machines and nothing is better then ///M.

Not everyone thinks that the M3 is the best sports car in the world, but you have to ask yourself, what other sports car has as many tuners as the M3?, And what other sports car is made to last up to 850,000 miles with proper maintainability? NONE! Me personally I think its all about opion.

But I really think the M5 is a step above ... maybe I am bias because I own one :) Good point, for sure. But I really think the M5 is a step above … maybe I am bias because I own one :)
