Nice article and picture.

Like with Leica M, the BMW M "3" is more popular around here than the "5", 
for understandable reasons. Unless you don't make dragstrip races or need to 
carry larger suitcases, I'd definitely prefer the M3 over the M5. The M3 is 
lighter and thus faster and significantly handier in the curves, faster in 
acceleration (at least below 200 km/h), and still has almost the same top 
speed (assumed it's not blocked anyway). Try both on he N?rburgring and you 
know what I mean.
