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...

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...

MY OPINIONS
Most of what you'll read from my ratings are based solely on my opinions and will not discuss deep details regarding car specifications. Detailed specs can, of course, be found at other websites such as

Pros: Excellent road manners, Peppy acceleration, Nice luxury features, BMW quality, Long-lasting engine, Quite possibly the perfect sport-coupe Cons: Price, Repair costs, Insurance costs
FIRST IMPRESSION:
The 1999 BMW M3 may be one of the most perfect cars on the planet today. By saying perfect, I mean that the balance of power and amenities are exactly fit to suit the driver's needs. The engineers at BMW...

Pros: fast, luxurious, and I can take your mom out in style Cons: your mom will not fit well in the back seat
The BMW M3, hmmmm.
This car can be compared to alot of cars, although you can compare all you want and never really understand the comparison until you drive one. I have driven an NSX, M Roadster, Carrera 4, Supra Twin Turbo, and a 930 Turbo....

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: Will scare you Cons: none
Life can sure take a switch on a human fast. One minute your driving a nobody and then your behind the wheel of a real somebody. The body in the M3 is incredible. I spent all day Sunday driving this new car with the sun in my face and the wind at my back...

Pros: It's a fit big brother to the Z3, you don't want to get into a one on one street battle with M3 unless you got a Benz 600!!! Cons: Too many M3's are being produced, it should be more limited.?
I think the M3 is a very nice sporty coupe with a V6 240 horse- power engine, 6 speed manual transmission, which also has a great traction control system . I believe the M3 runs with the Mercedes Benz "CLK" models(which are also nice),...

Pros: Great handling, value your money. Cons: delivery time
First off, I have also posted this review under the 3 series as well so you don't need to review it (unless you really like it). This is a fantastic car. It's the real deal. I highly recommend anyone buying one though to look at the European delivery...

Pros: True Sports car, a lot of power, great looks Cons: Pricey-hey it's a BMW!
The BMW M3 is just about the highest car on my sports car list. This car is amazing in every way and will beat any car in its class. The price is right for this car, you get all of the features that are not available on many USA cars, and the performance...

Pros: Great Handling, Great power, Great Look Cons: Pricey, but that's because it's a BMW
When the BMW M3 first came out in 1988, it was destined for perfection. With it's 2.3 liter 16 valve I-4, it pumped out 192 horsepower. It was more than muscle however. It's suspension system made it fly majesticly while cornering or what-not. So good is...

Pros: sophistication in a sports car (a wolf in sheep's clothing) Cons: Almost to refined
Currently I own a '99 M3, but previously owned a '95 M3. It goes without saying that the M3 is an awesome car in terms of handling and power. Although almost identical (95 & 99), there are several small differences between the two. For one, BMW...
