M3 has lost 200 lbs whereas M5 gained like 500. I don't think BMW engineers sit and a room and worry about things like "oh because 5 is a bigger number than 3 and it costs more, we need to find ways to make 3 inferior than 5"
You do realize that I have both cars and am planning on purchasing the new M4. Not trying to make M3/M4 inferior. 0-60 doesn't mean much, it sells cars. M5 is faster than the new E63s 0-200 KPH. E63s is rated at 3.4s 0-60. Explain that.
