None Better

I have owned Mercedes, Porsche and several BMW's. I traded a 2006 M5 for the 2009 M3. Porsche is a pure sports car but the sports suspension is rough for daily use. The M5 was a Porsche with a Tuxedo. Not much to complain about except the SMG is no match for the DCT in the M3. The M3 is a sports car that you can live with every day. You feel like you are part of the car - it is balanced, agile, and responsive. The DCT is fast and the downshift throttle blips are better matched than I could ever do with a traditional manual. This is my third car with idrive and the new idrive is great - intuitive and easy to use.

M3s with the V8 engine (2008-2013) are a different breed of sports car. You'll be spoiled forever and should own at least one during your lifetime if you're an enthusiast.

Best all around performance car

The M3 coupe has a timeless design, incredible performance, cornering is outstanding. Get an extended warranty if possible. Reliability has been very good. In 10 years the only problem was the right side throttle activators covered under warranty. Once warranties expire parts can be expensive. But if not raced and properly maintained, the car looks like new even after 65000 miles. Suggest getting Michelin Super Sport tires and changing oil every 7500 miles. Engine is built to very tight tolerances so make sure only Synthetic oil is used. Winter tires are a must in northern parts of the country. Recommend Dunlop M3 winter sport...durable and make the car very usable in all winter conditions.

Best every day car possible

You yearn to reach 1200 miles so you can have it serviced and get it back in playing form. You look forward to the split second when you think you may have lost control when you throw your foot down. You can enjoy the M-Mode even during the daily commute. At its softest, my wife doesn't mind it.

This is my first M3, but I've had 2 other BMW's, both 3 series. Had to get a car that my wife would feel comfortable in as well, and not intimidated. With the automatic transmission, and selectable M settings, you can adjust from performance from aggressive to very docile. This is ideal for different driver's styles. Acceleration and handling are top notch. Fit and finish also unquestionable the very best. I wholeheartedly recommend the M3 to anyone that wants a daily driver that can also ROCK when you want too.
