Pros: Power, handling, head turning quotient (HUGE!), comfort (will not wear you out)
Cons: None. Absolutely none. Many complain about the plastic rear window. So what??!!
The Bottom Line: If you are considering buying a Used M3, go for it. You will not regret it.
I purchased a 1999 M3 convertible sight unseen on eBay this Spring. My son and I flew to Miami (from Maryland) and the purchaser met us at the airport with the car. Away we went. I was a bit concerned that the car had 95,000 miles on it, but the ...

Pros: Great Handling and Quickness When it Runs
Cons: The worst service and customer service I have ever encountered. Constant Problems.
The Bottom Line: Car was great idea before I owned it. Constant Problems. Buyers Beware.
UPDATE: This car has been nothing but a nightmare. It has been in the shop about 7 weeks of the year which I have owned it. The dealership is incapable of making repairs correctly and the corporation does not support the car once it is outside the de ...

Pros: Best performance and quality for money; Reliable; Stylish; FUN FUN FUN!
Cons: May be considered pricey.
The Bottom Line: Want safety? performance? reliability? comfort? something unique and will turn heads? The M3 is your car.
The E36 M3 (91-99) could very well be the best performing car for $50,000 or less. To be honest, this car can out perform many cars up till the $100,000 range. In my opinion you wont find a big change in performance until you reach a vehicle such as the...

Pros: Amazing handling, head-in-the-seat acceleration, quiet ride
Cons: Somewhat dated styling
The Bottom Line: A great car combining performance and refinement, a dream for auto enthusiasts.
I have had the '99 M3 for several years now, and it has changed my life. In the true spirit of European auto engineering, this car is perfectly fit to the driver. Most are surprised at first to find out that there is no tilt steering wheel adjustment;...

Pros: excellent handling, good power, fun to drive
Cons: high price, high-priced parts, power drop-off
The Bottom Line: This is the best sports car on the road. Excellent performance and superior handling.
The BMW M3 convertible is the best car I've ever driven, hands down. BMW's are called the ultimate driving machine, and it's true. They drive like no other car on the road. The M3 is definitely one of the best. It's nimble, powerful, and sticks to...

Pros: VERY fast, amazing handling, awesome looks, long lasting
Cons: kind of small backseat
The Bottom Line: This car is amazing. It is probably the best car to ever own! It's incredibly fast, good looking, and reliable!
A couple of months ago, I bought a 1999 BMW M3 Convertible. At first, I was a little skeptical of how it was going to drive, and i was also a little discouraged because I knew that if I only waited a few more months, I could get a brand new, 2001 M3....

Pros: Grabs at the curves like a 50 year old hitting on a 21 year old!!
Cons: Uuuummmmmmm, I can't afford two?!
The Bottom Line: This is the ultimate blend of style, sophistication, and power on the road for such a reasonable price.
I began test driving at the Lexus dealer but wasn't satisfied with what I was getting for the money. Too much fluff and not enough raw power and performance. The purr of the engine as I accelerate on Lake Shore Drive gives me so much pleasure that is...

Iw sih i had this baby! It's so nice! It's extremely powerful and is a beauty on the outside!The M3 is basically a highly modified BMW 328is. You can compare a BMW 328is with an M3 and you'll see that the M3 has a much sportier stance and appearance....

I purchased this 4 door automatic M3 at 28,000 miles, and the car was certified, - it had the 7 year, 100,000 mile extended warranty. Let me begin the review by stating that this is the best 5 speed automatic transmission sold on a sport-sedan. The...

Pros: Extremely refined sports car
Cons: Little minor annoyances, see below
Everyone knows that the M3 is a great handling sports car. But how about a detailed description of the common problems with the car? I purchased a new 1999 Titanium Silver M3 in May of 1999. I use my car primarily as a commuter (70 miles a day all...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: 330 hp, great torque, excellent handling, will beat Porches silly
Cons: A bit high-end; slight oversteer? Small back seats; count on two adults comfortably
The Bottom Line: The E46 M3 is the supreme monarch of cars; it is indeed a thinly-disguised racing machine, while still maintaining the sophistication of a saint.
The following article was written during the summer of 2000... as such, it is extremely dated. Currently as of March 2001, the release date of the E46 M3 is set in about April; the company that I work for, Dinan Engineering, is going to receive the...

Pros: Superb handling, comfortable ride.
Cons: Same damn grill.
I am sitting in my room and wondering to myself -- does a single BMW designer ever wake up in the morning and say, 'Boy, I really feel like yellow today.' Anybody can spot a beamer from visible distance; they all look the same. The front grill gets...
