Great photoshoot comparison between S5 & M3. S5 seems lower and wider!

To me the S5 design seems cleaner and more progressive. Make the M3 look a bit dated IMHO.

Great pics regardless!

Default The S5 looks like a GTO in that pic in comparison.

Just next to the M3 that's got more design elements in the rear.

However, note I &lt;3 the look of the s5. It's simple elegance.

Default E92 M3 is just plain ugly.

IMHO, BMW's own 335i looks better, can easily be made faster, and is $20k cheaper. the E92 M3 is the ugliest, most pointless car BMW has ever made.

Default I don't see it. I do see better proportions on the S5 when compared to the M3 from most angles.

Default is that magma red? it looks darker (and nicer) than other pics i've seen

also, IMHO silver is the worst exterior color for the S5 (no offense to anyone ordering this color).

Default LOL. Funny, I've always thought silver was the best color for showcasing the car's lines.

Not that I'm biased or anything. :-)

The back of the M3 looks a mess, especially those tail pipes all clumped so close together.
