G80 M3 50 Jahre in Interlagos Blue vs. M5 Competition in Marina Bay Blue

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
So do I buy a 2023 M3 50 Jahre in Interlagos Blue with carbon buckets for $112K or a 2022 M5 Competition in Marina Bay Blue for $118K?

Interlagos is one of the best colors I’ve seen on the G80. ��
Marina Bay Blue is one of the best BMW blues of all time.
The carbon bucket seats will be better for my track day activities but the M5 seats feel more like the right size for me.
I don’t love iDrive 8, but I have a 2019 X5 so the M5 is almost too similar to justify the cost.

Specs for quick reference:

2022 BMW M5 Competition: 617 HP, 553 lb-ft from a 4.4L twin-turbo V8. 8-speed auto. AWD. 4237 lbs (per C&D). 0-60 in 2.8 seconds (per C&D). 1.0 g of skidpad grip (per C&D). 17 MPG combined. 196" L x 75" W x 58" H. 7:35 around the Nurburgring, 2:54 around VIR.
2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive: 503 HP, 479 lb-ft from a 3.0L turbo I6. 8-speed auto. AWD. 3917 lbs (per C&D). 0-60 in 2.8 seconds (per C&D). 1.03 g of skidpad grip (per C&D). 18 MPG combined. 189″ L x 74″ W x 57″ H. 7:28.6 around the Nurburgring, 2:53.5 around VIR.
