Review

I had a 2.5 Z3 for a few years and put everything Dinan on it for more power. I asked the dealer what was the best year. they responded with "the 2001 M Roadster". I have been looking for over a year for one ( I see once people get one, they won't let go) I finally picked up one at a Volvo dealer (of all places) I LOVE this car!!!! it has to be the best ride I ever had. I just hit 40 and will never grow up. I wanna be burried in this car (ha-ha).

Ultimate Traditional Sports Car

2001 BMW M 2dr Roadster (3.2L 6cyl 5M)

Review

If you like the traditional British style of small roadster sports car, but would like reliability and modern supercar performance, this is your car. This car has been everything the specs promised. The car and straight six 315 hp engine is so smooth, the speed can be deceptive except that other performance vehicles disappear in the review mirror. I like its relatively conservative, traditional appearance and it's limited production numbers vs. ten of thousands of Corvettes. Turn the traction control off and it can switch ends very quickly. Recommendation: leave it on on the street or your favorite curvy road! This one is a keeper!

Favorite Features

Power, interior and exterior styling.

Suggested Improvements

Little more interior head room, and less high speed nervousness from the rear suspension.

Ride the rocket

Review

I drive this car year round in Western Upstate NY., and back and forth to Maine...obviosly people think I'm nuts, but I love this car. I have the hard top and blizzak snows on all four wheels, and it never let's me down. This car has 315 horses draggin you around and it's like having a 4 wheel motorcycle. On the highway you can drop out of 5 to 4 or 3 depending on how aggressive you feel and dust anything short of an exotic. I would recommend this car to any enthusiast. It might be a little tricky for a newbee, but with the DSC on it's hard to break it loose. Buy one. You won't regret it.

Favorite Features

Power, control, reliability, fit and finish makes this car a pleasure to own and drive

Suggested Improvements

None.

Review

This is a very fun car to drive. It can be a handful if you disengage the stability control. Very good acceleration. Only drawback is plastic rear window and minor exhaust rattle until exhaust system is warm.

Favorite Features

Engine, handling.

Suggested Improvements

Glass rear window or folding hard-top

AWESOME M COUPE

Written by: DATOGUCH on 06/22/2002

Vehicle

2001 BMW M 2dr Hatchback (3.2L 6cyl 5M)

Review

THE M COUPE FITS THE DRIVER LIKE A GLOVE. THE SPORT SEATS ARE FIRM AND KEEPS THE DRIVER LOCKED IN PLACE. THE EUROPEAN SPEC. ENGINE CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS RACE CAR LIKE WITH ITS SIX INDIVIDUAL THROTTLE BODIES AND INSTANT ACCELERATION. THE STARES I GET WHEN DRIVING THIS LITTLE ROCKET IS AMAZING. YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT MY M COUPE SUCH AS " I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE OF THESE BEFORE". I AM COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH MY PURCHASE!!!

Favorite Features

THE 315 HP. ENGINE HAS TREMENDOUS ACCELERATION AND OFF THE LINE TORQUE.

Suggested Improvements

A SIX SPEED TRANNY WOULD BE PREFERABLE.
