Pros: great road feel
Cons: engine overheats
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: 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: Performance
Cons: Price
The new E46 BMW looks darn nice!!! It was shown at the Frankfurt auto show this year and hopefully will be North America by 2001. A promising 360 hp engine with a 6 speed manual has replaced the North American 240 hp engine. Power Galore! I would give...

Pros: You'll get all the looks
Cons: You're out some cash until then
I wish I could already describe the breathtaking feeling of driving the new stylish BMW M3, but we all know, it's not out yet. You can't even see the picture in any of the magazines. Nevertheless, you don't really have a choice to wait for a test...

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...

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: 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: 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...

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: 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 power, design, 6 spd man.
Cons: price???
BMW's 2001 M3 is a stroke of genius. Its new six cylinder 343 hp engine is enough to make a grown man drool. The body design has a tough yet elegant appeal to it. The larger wheel flares, new hood and the 6 speed manual are my favorite mods on this...
