hadyn Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi all, I'm interested in everyones opinions on the M3 (E46) and the M5 (E39?), if I'm correct, I think both these can be had for around circa 10 grand these days in the current market. How does an M3/5 compare to a TT Supra? Also how do the two compare to the Supra experience? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 get an M5, bigger and more astonishing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 are e46 m3's really going for that sort of money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 M5 is my gut reaction too Is the handling equal to the M3 though? well not really, think about it, the M5 would be longer, heavier etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 For 10k : M5. You don't want a 10k m3, it'll be a dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 neither will keep up with a BPU Supra but they are both fairly decent cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 neither will keep up with a BPU Supra but they are both fairly decent cars. Really? The book figures seem to be very similar to BPU Supes : 0-60 in 5, 1/4 mile in 13.5 etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyB Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 M5! E39 is one of the best handling cars of its size ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 I know M3s are BPU Supra fodder, but Im not so sure about M5s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
den1 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 By the way...what type of BMW compares to a Supra TT for performance? and as for a BPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Im sure Jake wil be along soon enough, he had an M5, pretty sure he said it felt quicker then a BPU Supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 By the way...what type of BMW compares to a Supra TT for performance? and as for a BPU M5 is about 400bhp. Not as quick as bpu but not along way off. My brother has a 2001/2 ish M5 and its a great car. I also had a 525 and they dont handle to badly.

DannyB Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 My 530i Sport handled really bloody well for the size of it, so id say the M5 is amazing tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erol_h Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 my brothers got an m3 and ive driven it a few times and must say a great car over all and great handling had no experience with the m5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 are e46 m3's really going for that sort of money?No. Certainly not good ones anyway. If you're buying an M3 you want an April 03 or newer made one. The earlier ones had some nasty rod bearing issues. (I think it's April 03, might be May, I forget right now) neither will keep up with a BPU Supra but they are both fairly decent cars. A stock Supra TT won't keep up with a BPU Supra either. M5 all the way!! TT Supra's can smoke E46 M3's! Stock ones? I disagree. (I currently own both) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
