This car is by far the best car I've
ever owned. It has balance, poise,
style, power, and handling that puts a
smile on my face everytime I drive
it. If you are a car enthusiast, you
will love this car. Perfect in every
way. My only gripe is the cost of
parts/maintenence. I've never had any
problems with the car whatsoever, but
the scheduled maintenence is quite
expensive.

This car overall has one of the best
looks i have ever seen or owned. The
car is a blast to drive but has too
many problems to deal with. It has a
stupid radiator problem that all e36
have. I loveeeeeeeeeeeee my car but
sadly i cant handle the maintance
because its wayyy to costyyy

THE best practical sportscar on the
market. Looked at the 4 door M3 also
until my significant other declared
it "plain". Quick poll of females at
the office reached the same
conclusion. Take your time looking and
spend about 20% over the Edmunds
estimate to get an enthusiast owned
car. You'll be glad that you did.
High mileage is OK as long as
maintenance has been done, and the
pricing is appropriate. Be prepared
for sticker shock on operating costs if
you have owned a Honda. Dealer
parts are pricey, and M-specific parts
are ridiculous. 17" tires last about
15,000 miles at the max. PAY THE PRICE
AND BUY
THIS CAR!!

Overall I have been very pleased with
the car. The engine pulls very strong
from any RPM and the engine note
filters nicely into the cars interior.
The only problem is once I hear the
engine all I want to do is STOMP IT,
hence gas mileage has not been the best.

If it were remotely possible to disprove the BMW motto of, "The Ultimate Driving Machine", they wouldn't be allowed to say it. Trust me, if you have the $$$ and you want the BEST 4 door sports car on this planet, you pick up an M3, period.

This is the best car I have ever owned, bar none. You can't buy an all around better mix of performance, luxury, and style for less than $50,000. Pre-owned values have really started to come down on the E36 M3 (95-99). Pick one up today before they are all gone!
