the M3's top out at about 180 if unlimited. i dont know of the M5 though. to 60 the M3 is faster but when rolling and in higher speeds the M5 is faster.

I think everyoone here knows the M5 is far faster than the S2000, I hope no one thinks otherwise.
The cars are way off different classes.
The M5 is the Sport Cars (BEAST) for the executive person.
Very well made car, no question its a better car but the M3 is a nice car too althought the M5 still beats it as we all know, right?
What u gotta say 777?

The facts are M5 superior than the M3. Or is the price wrong?
Another thing if I put a an exhaust in my saturn I could reach the speed of sound. LOL People are such ignoratns. Kids this days like the Fast and the Furious a lot.

Does superior means faster?

well the better all around car is the m3. The m5 is to heavy to track, its hard to launch, and its just not as cool looking. How many times have you seen an m5 and had to look real hard at it because it looks like a regular 5 series. That doesn't happen with the m3. Also about drags, the m3 will thrash the m5 at the drags with equal drivers. And about superior, faster doesn't make superior but between these two its no question. M3 HANDS DOWN!
