2003 BMW M3 - Consumer Reviews

E46 M3 is a superior car

Vehicle

2003 BMW M3 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

Review

This is my second M3, but the first of this (E46) generation. I am absolutely stunned and impressed with the level of performance that has been drawn from this exceptional 3.2 litre inline 6 engine. I thought my old '97 M3 with 240HP felt quick, well this thing is unreal. You can outrun 911's and most of the muscle car crowd and look better doing it. Handles amazingly well, rides smoother than expected (even with my 19" wheels) and is an all around wonderful car. I would change very little about it except maybe make the interior a little more "Mercedes like" I guess.

Wish I had a Vette

Vehicle

2003 BMW M3 2dr Convertible (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I have driven too many sports cars to list. As for the M3, I agree with the guy who wrote in about the Corvette. If the vette had a back seat for my son, then, I would own the "Ultimate Driving Machine". I believe there is too much hype over a car that pales in comparison to the vette overall and watch your fuel consumption...the 8-cylinder Vette has them beat there too! Don't get me wrong; I do love the M3, because it offers safety, room for 4 passengers and sleek looks, but c'mon, it certainly is NOT "scarry" as one critic wrote in.

Outrageous

Vehicle

2003 BMW M3 2dr Convertible (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

Review

It's been a year now, I a still get surprised by the power this little in- line six put's out. My wife still won't drive the car due to the tight handling and head jerking snaps between gears. I've had it up to 135 for about 30 minutes across the Mohave desert (in train with a TT and A8) and fely I could have out accelerated them at any moment. Yeah, the price tag with the SMG tranny is high, but my kids will understand that Junior College is OK, once they get there.

Greased Lightning and Roaring Thunder!

2003 BMW M3 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

Review

The BMW M3 is a vehicle unlike any other. It combines the power and handling of a Porsche or Ferrari, with the luxury and comfort of a Mercedes. It's ride is firm and responsive. Formula 1 level performance, all for only $50,000!! This car is truly the best car I've ever driven...I can only imagine what the BMW engineers will create for the 2006 model.

Spectacular

Vehicle

2003 BMW M3 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

Review

This is my first BMW, and I have to admit it has been a long time coming. I have been desiring an M3 for about 15 years and have finally gathered the coinage for the purchase. When I picked up the car, there was not one flaw I could see. This is the best built and sportiest car I have ever driven or seen. I even get 26 MPG with this high-performance automobile! Truly amazing.

This is a sport car

Vehicle

2003 BMW M3 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

Review

The perfect car....if you drive on a track. I have the SMG transmission and really don't care for it much. It is very notchy and not very friendly for mundane daily driving. If you drive very aggressively all of the time, this could be the car for you. If you don't, I would suggest one of the other 3 series cars....I've owned them as well and loved every minute of it.
