The Euro V Aussie comparison has been done to death hundreds of times, everyone has a different value system for measuring "value for money".
Be thankful we have choice.. Personally i think the M5 is a better choice for comparison, the M3 is a mid sized vehicle..

f6 has more mid-range torque from 2,500 to 6,000rpm!

Sorry about the diversion. I don't want a holiday.

Back on topic - why do you want to know the differences between the f6 and m3? Are you considering each for purchase? If you are, what are your requirements? That gives a better idea of which one.

If you have kids the coupe becomes tiring very quickly. But there is an m3 sedan coming out soon.

F6 is lighter, helping accelleration. But a train handles like it's on rails....

Are you talking about the FPV GT? Saying a GT goes like a train isn't very nice, I would've thought 'boat', 'tractor' or 'slug' were more appropriate :gren: (sorry, just playing)

You'd be surprised...

More than a few years ago a mate of mine was working for an exotic car rental place and one day while I was in the city he said he'd take me for a spin in one of their Ferraris.

Within a 30 minute slow joyride around Sydney, at least 10 different females handed out their number from their car window and a couple of smoking girls chased us on foot to catch up to us.

...and somehow we're the shallow ones!

Agreed with this. There is no shortage of hunnies looking for a meal ticket.
