I love the V8 M3 and was going to buy one but my brother told me to look at the M6,preferred the look of M6 but it was the V10 that swung it for me

Both those engines V8 and V10 are unlike anything that's built today. High RPM naturally aspirated multi cylinder engines. Yes, they had their reliability issues, but whatever.. mechanical things break...
