BMW - do it again

1999 BMW M 2 Dr M Coupe

Review

5 years later - still have it, won't sell it. Its the tightest, zippiest, power ride ever. Other supercars eg Porsches feel bulky by comparison. BMW created something very special and made it more so by producing a very small number - this car has classic potential.

Favorite Features

Powertrain/transmission, appearance - very edgy - still gets a lot of looks and questions. Although when my wife first saw it - she said "thats a nice looking honda civic" - guess I should have told her I was thinking of buying a car.

Suggested Improvements

Well its too late and frankly I like all the quirks - the darned power window, the feeling that the passenger is on top of the driver

This car is excitement on wheels!! It is just an awsome car to drive as well as look at. The cornering ability will amaze you. Just grit your teeth and turn the wheel. I've had a lot of toys but this is the ultimate for the money.

Favorite Features

speed, cornering, style and feel of the power.

Suggested Improvements

This car is so close to perfect I wouldn't change a thing. I'm not sure what I can replace it with since it sounds like BMW will not make another M Roadster

I LOVE IT,it attracts attention like honey attracts bees.Where else can you get a car that will keep up in a straight line with a vette and yet manhandle an autocross track or full race track.Torque?What fun this car can be,its got grunt from anywhere on the tach in any gear!Turn off the ASC and its light em up!Only 6000 cars made in 4 years for the US,you are likely to be the only one with a Coupe for MANY blocks around.This can be quite overwhelming when you arent used to the attention!This car truly is an example of one of my favorite quotes:A car is as close as man will ever get to creating something living

Favorite Features

ASC - Rainy Days Wide rear end Torque, Torque, Torque

Suggested Improvements

Nothing, Wouldnt trade mine for anything, wish I had an S54

Almost perfect

Review

Have had no significant problems in over 72,000 miles of ownership... however, passenger seat belt is designed to accomodate a child seat (which numerous stickers in the car warn you not to use)and belt locks-up if pulled out too far...not good when wearing heavy winter clothing. Rear view mirror is badly located and too big...blocks right front vision in turns and off ramps...I replaced it with a smaller one. The factory clear coat paint job chips extremely easily...car looks sand- blasted within months.

Favorite Features

Power/acceleration/Power and Power. Not to mention Power! Good Looks and slot- car handling.

Suggested Improvements

Clear coat paint job is vulnerable to easy chipping, Automatic Traction Control is defeatable - that's good - because it gets in the way of aggressive driving. Mount Rearview on dash (like old MGs) to improve forward visibility

have you hugged your design team lately?

Review

This car was a perfect blend of sports car driving and gt tightness. Each ride, I wanted to hug the entire design team(yes engineers and body and interior teams). Favotite experience: walking to the car, getting in,starting it, adjusting body position,putting it in gear, tapping the throtle letting out the clutch---smile,smile,then realizing I can't wipe off the smile if I wanted to.

Favorite Features

Engine sound,responce and torque. Solid granite-like ride. Interior design. Exterior design. Boston green color always bring some nice comments. Oh, and that look from the rear. Perhaps the best example of rubber to the road and rear fenders execution ever!

Suggested Improvements

Make the seat bolster adjust to wider designed bodies. A shade for the moonroof would also help.

Review

This has been an excellent date car or fun car for us as a couple. It has been primarily driven by a Frustrated Soccer Mom on weekends - she has been reliving her high school years in a convertible!

Favorite Features

Fun Factor - nothing like dipping this car into a corner and letting the engine push you through with the Accelerator

Suggested Improvements

Make the trunk so that you can get a bag of clubs in it

Review

I agonized over buying this car after not having a car payment for over 2 years. Each day that goes by, I know I made the right choice. What else can you say, this will be a car that will be legendary and desired by all enthusiasts for many years to come. No regrets. Can't wipe the smile from my face.

Favorite Features

Head-snapping looks and performance.

Suggested Improvements

Windows all the way down!!! Oh, well, production has ceased on these cars anyway...

Review

This car, hands down, is one of the funnest performance cars on the market today. The exterior styling is the hottest attribute on this car. I've owned it for over a year now, it always turns heads and receives thumbs up from passer bys. Cargo space is more than people expect, Hardon Kardon stereo w/CD changer is excellent. Its a unique purchase thats affordable. If your thinking of purchasing one, do it. You won't be dissappointed!

Favorite Features

Great power, better handling and braking. Great recipe for performance.

Suggested Improvements

The only improvement I can think of is being able to put the window all the way down. It current stops with a 1/4 inch sticking up.
