I think the seats are nicer in the m3 as well. But I would definitely say the m3 is up there with the m5/6 interior.

BMW quotes the m3 as being just as fast as the m5, so we will see.
I'd expect it to be just as fast in a straight line due to power/weight (maybe not from a roll from 80-140 or something though) and if the interior is as good as you guys are saying, that makes it a huge win IMO. My biggest concern was the lack of luxury feel as compared to it's 5 and 6 series brothers.
