Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Handling, speed, comfort, style
Cons: price and insurance rates

I have always had BMWs, starting with my first 2002 when I turned 16. I then went to 323ix (four wheel drive for Denver snow) and now have my absolute favorite, my canary yellow M3. What a car! It fits me perfectly. Everything is in perfect reach, I can...

Husband talked me into it

by flbeachgirl
Feb 25 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fun to drive, handles well in heavy rain, deceiving appearance, and it's a guy magnet
Cons: Governors
The Bottom Line: This car has exceeded my expectations and is the reason people get on lists years before the new models are delivered.

When my husband and I were looking into purchasing a new vehicle, we stopped by our local BMW dealership. He was convinced that I would prefer the luxury of a 5 or 7 series over the M series (which was his preference). After test driving 3 different...

M3: My Dream Car

by olymphope_08
Mar 23 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: handles very good
Cons: the heated seats can get too warm
The Bottom Line: this is a very good high performance street car

Although I am only 17, I have had the chance to drive and autocross an M3. I really like them, I want a new 2001 when I get the $65,000. This car(1997) handles very well, and it responds well to quick adjustments and quick steering patterns used for...

Bavarian Rocket Ship

by dimora
Aug 17 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Stellar acceleration, handling, and stopping power. Style.
Cons: Lousy Cup Holders, Terrible Sounding Stereo.
The Bottom Line: If you love performance, buy this car. If you are a passive driver, save your money and get an Acura 3.2 TL or a BMW 325 or 328i.

I wanted a four door sedan for accessibility that still packs a powerful performance punch. I desired a luxurious, well engineered sedan with some status built in to the package.

I considered the Saab 9.5 Viggen, the Audi Quattro sedan...

its a good car but BMW should of done better
by lovemostbemers  
May 31 '04 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: for some reason: It's just really, really, really fun to drive
Cons: Not as powerfull, 280-300hp's would have been better. Braking heats every now and then.
I was just expecting more from this car. first of all its small but thats ok cuz its a sports car. Second, not enough power, (could of made it more powerfull with the 3.2L) And yes it wouldnt be too bad to have a 6th gear while on the freeway because my techonometer sits at like 3500 rpm at around 78-80mph. (most cars do it less than that and they arent as powerfull) I bought my 98 m3 4dr 5spd, after i drove my friends 95 m3 coupe 5spd.
