This is one mean driving machine. The BMW M3 is an excellent all around car. When I bought this car in '98 I was amazed. This car handles great in all road conditions, and it is as quiet as a mouse. It has excellent acceleration, and one tank of gas will get you far. When I went car shopping, I was looking for a powerful and kind of sporty looking car. The M3 was a perfect choice. The only problem is its cost; it will run you up into the $40,000 price range, which most ordinary people cannot afford. I highly recommend the car, and it is well worth the price.
