The M3 has the superior engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, differential, and steering. Fit and finish between the F10 535 and E92 M3 in my garage are pretty much identical. I seem to be missing the huge gap between the door and B pillar a previous poster was talking about.
What I found interesting is that younger folks in their 20's were going for the 5er. Granted, the 5 is a ridiculously good-looking car, but it is kind of a big car and something I would associate with an older driver. I would've thought younger drivers would go for something a bit less "mature".

I do agree the whole 3 vs 5 debate you all participated in was a bit off topic. The defense only conformed to K-A as I felt, was insulted on a personal level...then have all 5ers stringed to an age-group generalized within that spectrum.
In retrospect, what's with the profiling and stereotype? A person in their 20s especially mid-late age isn't "mature" enough to indulge in a saloon/sedan and "should" be driving an M3? The possibility doesn't occur maybe by that age some have completed college and already within incipiency of raising a family?
And trust me...plenty of members in their 20s are motoring the M3 than 5s; they just so happen have the proclivity to lounge at the E9x or equivalent section of the forums. Anyway, whatever the age/personality discrepancies are...let's try and diminish the fanboyism a bit.
We should stop disrespecting the OP's natural intention for this thread or its:
