Review
Nothing handles, accelerates, and overall performs like an M3 convertible and still has room for 4 people and luggage (try that in a Porsche). Proof positive that you can make a practical car fun, and a performance car practical! All with 21 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.

Review
Had a lot of fun with the top down, great acceleration and speed -- loved the SMG. Not enough space for all the bad. Twice transmission died on the freeway at 90 mph, flying in neutral. Manage to get to the side, tow-truck guy says "these have been dropping like flies." GPS never worked. Took into different dealers totaling 5 times, everytime they said it was fixed. It actually works now. Intermittent glitch on windows rolling up, still not fixed. Tire pressure light is on now and won't go away (tires checkout). Took to dealer and they said it was fixed, drive it away and light still on. Anyway, tons of other basic quality issues. Frayed steering wheel leather.

Incredible car! The SMG is so much fun without the worries. There's crazy traffic here in Hawaii and I would never get a manual transmission car. The SMG offers so many options of how you want the car to perform with the feel of a manual. Great gas mileage for a 333hp car. It definitely lives up to its name as "ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE".

This is the most fun car I have ever owned. Being able to take my kids in a convertible is great and the fact that it is quick and handles well is a super bonus.

Review
I special ordered my m3, my first bmw, and my last. It's been serviced 11 times in the past year, mostly for problems with the smg. the smg is the most overrated transmission ever and should not be sold until perfected. It's sluggish in first, sometimes choppy, and most recently just stalled completely. it had to be towed back to the dealership to replace the relay...again.

This car lives up to its reviews. It
is best proven by driving it on
twisting mountain roads. The tires
stick to the road and you can keep
pushing it without leaving the
pavement. With the top down, an adding
bonus. The SMG is tricky at first, but
a lot of fun to use after you master
it. And in SPORT mode,
forgeddaboutit! I love leaving
everyone in the dust!

This is TRUELY the "Ultimate Driving
Machine"! This is my 3rd BMW and by
far the best when it comes to
performance and excitement. Everytime
I drive my M3, it makes me feel like a
kid again with a new toy that never
gets old. I went from a BMW 330CI to
Nissan 350Z roadster and found my self
missing a BMW. Therefore I sold the
Nissan Z and went for a 2004 M3
convertible. I just love the
performance handling and comfort that
comes in a BMW unlike a Nissan 350 Z
where you just get performance and NO
comfort and amenities. As far as the
lady that posted the review on
8/24/04 "An expensive disappointment",
she should not be driving an M3 that
she obviously can't handle the power
and SMG.

Review
Excited, I turned the ignition in my
carbon metallic black on black, loaded
M3.After a long test drive, I was ready
for all the performance and
style.Behind the wheel, the thrill
turned to FEAR OF STOPPING. Taking off
at a light, from 1st to 2nd to 3rd gear
the car morphed into Linda Blair in the
excorcist. I don't mean the hesitation
as SMG mimicks manual. The car bucked
hard until I depressed the accelerator
as behind me cars honked and screeched
to avoid colliding. This still occurs
randomly, with different drivers, in
all drivelogic programs. BMW claims
that this is normal for SMG. If so, the
M3 is unsafe to drive in normal
traffic.

The 2004 M3 is one of the fines
pefrormance automobiles on the market.
Its high reving engine and SMG gearbox
make you feel like your in a formula
one racecar. Who can deni its 19in
chrome alloy wheal, dual exaust, m
sigrature grills and its low aggressive
front grill. However, I'd like to see a
change in the interrior in the next few
years.
The car does have some mild understear
and feels heavy to drive. But other
than that I strongly recemend this car
to any one who seeks performance,
agality, and abality becase the m3 is
able to do any thing you want it to.
