Review
This car is simply amazing. Please go
read the reviews by reputable car
magazines and don't take my word for
it. If you combine the following
factors: Performance, Reliability,
Practicality, Durability, Safety,
Value....you simply cannot beat this
car. HANDS DOWN a winner in all
regards. Few cars this good have ever
been or will be built in automotive
history. CAR AND DRIVER BEST HANDLING
CAR REGARDLESS OF PRICE in the 90s
beating out Ferrari, Porsche and the
like. Plus you can throw your kids
and some grocery bags in the back.

The M3 is perhaps the best car ever
built for all around performance,
handling, acceleration, braking, feel
and oh so many other areas. Sure, the
engine could use some more power, but it
wasn't designed to be the best from
0-60. This is a super powered go cart
that is meant to out perform on an auto
cross track. Anyone can go straight and
fast.. this one is designed to twist
your insides around with tight cornering
and give you a strain in your neck when
accelerating out of a corner.
As far as stupid comments about poor
winter performance, I say "DUH!"

This car has been the most fun of any
car I have ever owned. The performance
is perfect, handling, accelleration
and braking are unreal.
The car is very comfortable, and does
not look like a barely restrained
racing car.
The top never leaks. You can hold a
conversation at 85 with the top down.

The car is simply amazing. My first
BMW. A joy to drive everyday to
work. I have put on 13K miles since I
bought it and I only drive 25 miles
per day to work and back. Seems like
I find reasons to go somewhere - not
sure why, hmm.

I must say that it is not the supercar
that all the reviews claim it to be.
Firstly, this car is waaayyyy to heavy
and you can feel it on heavy cornering
loads..it could use more power as has
been put into the newer M's but I
would be really happy with the 240bhp
if it trimmed a few pounds. This shift
mechanism was also a huge
dissapointment. Why manufactures still
make rubbery indecisive gates is
beyond me. Toyota got it right with
the Mr2 MKI why doesnt everybody just
copy it. Brakes and steering are among
the best I've ever driven. It's a good
car...just not the great car I thought
it would be. I shoulda saved 8k and
bought a Viggen convertible.

This car has amazing performance and
styling. However, the interior
craftsmanship leaves something to be
desired. The steering wheel vibrates
and makes noises, as does the
dashboard. It is frustrating to think
how much I paid for this vehicle, only
to listen to constant cabin noise.
With high performance tires, this car
is useless in the snow. Also, the
trunk-mounted CD changer skips regulary
on less than perfect surfaces. All in
all, the performance will leave you
grinning after every drive.

When it comes to open top motoring the
M3 Convertible tackles all you can
throw at it. Weather it be
performance, design, ergonomics you
name it she does it. I can't help but
smile when I drive this car. I've
driven many exotics, but my choice is
the M3 Convertible.

Really like my M3 coupe. It's by far
the sexiest car I found while shopping
last year for a high-quality used
sports sedan, and I got a really good
car.
I hated the purchasing process though,
DO NOT go to BMW of Arlington if you
can avoid.

This car fits like a glove. I have
owned Mercedes, Acuras, and a Porsche.
This car, above all the rest, gave me
the greatest sense of unity between a
man and his car. That may sound very
weird, but if you drove one you would
know what I mean. I feel a sense of
control over every aspect of driving. I
first test drove the E36 325, and had a
similar sense, but with the "M" engine
you get the control and the incredible
power. If you ever get a chance to
drive the M3, take it and see what I
mean. Just be prepared to miss it when
it's over.

Had a very good experience with
this car. There are a few minor areas
of the car that almost demand upgrades
or replacements near or before the 50k
mile mark. Rear strut mnts are
rubber and sqeak upon failure. These
can be replaced 4 $80 + labor.
Clutch stop & short shifter need
replaced as origs. are too
tall & sloppy. Suggest UUC for
upgrds. Service is covered for
4yr/50k but I dread service @
both Dallas area dealers. This has been
the worst part of owning the M3. I
could not wait until the warranty
xpired so I could take it to another
BMW shop in Plano. It's too bad the
service is slow, unprofessional &
inconsistent.
