I agree completely with you, but in the general public, people always tend to think of the M5 as the top dog. The one you dream about owning. I could get one, but it's just not for me.

Hmmm, an interesting perspective. The general public doesn't seem to have that sentiment where I'm from, but I always enjoy hearing about car perspectives from different areas (e.g., some people on this forum from Los Angeles say M3s are extremely common, whereas in my area I see plenty of 911s but I'm lucky to ever see another M3).
I've personally never put the two cars in the same category--the M3 has been "top dog" for the small (relative, especially as the years have passed) sporty--with some luxury--coupe, and the M5 has been "top dog" for the full-sized luxury--with power and good handling--sedan.
