I was shopping for an X5 when I also had a look at the new M3 coupe...

In my config the prise wasn't that different, but consumption would be a killer (compared a diesel X5 with an M3)... Again this would mean that I would have to buy an big car for the wife that would the serve as family car in the weekend or on trips... Since my budget didn't go that far (on this moment) I bought the X5 and possibly hand it over to the wife in a year or two and then buy me a more sportive car (more like a 911).
