BMW M5 vs. M3 Sedan
I was at the BMW dealer where I bought my car today and I saw a new M3 Sedan going for 20K over list and totaling 90k. Last time I priced out an M5 it was at 92K. Which would you rather have?

Also for my own curiosity, what colour would you get your car in?

M5 in black, or a pearl metallic off white with anthracite rims.

I'd go with an M5 Touring or an M3 Coupe, but I guess those aren't really options.

M3 with a proper manual in black. With anthracite rims. But it'd be the coupe if that was an option.

There is 6-speed manual option for M5 in USA. I don't know if it's available any other countries.
