BMW M3

I was on the wait list for the Porsche 997 and decided to get the M3 instead. I would love to own both but do not regret my decision to get the M3. I have been in or owned and/or driven Audi S4, Ferrari 550, Porsche 911T, Corvette Z06. All are outstanding in their own way. Bottom line is that there is no comprable car for the money. Corvette Z06 is a fantastic performance machine but still in essence a 'Chevy.' The C6 may be different. The S4 (2001) was a great car and easier to modify for more horsepower but had severe understeer and turbo lag. I would rather have the 911 turbo or Ferrari but obviously both are in a different price class.
BMW M3 - Hype from Reality

I previously owned a 2000 M Roadster. Loved the car - a beast. Tight handling, throaty exhaust, a rocket launcher. My buddy owns a 2002 330Ci - refined car, snappy, loved the top. I thought the 2003 M3 w/SMG would marry the best of both. It does - in a way - but after owning it, I still find myself longing for the purity of the M Roadster. It's just as fast (01-02's would actually smoke the E46 M3), handles better, and it's way lighter. The M3 outputs 333HP but it weighs 3780lb. The SMG trans screams at high RPM/track driving, but it takes getting used to around town. For an awesome daily driver for the fam, save the $ and get the 330Ci & buy the M Roadster for the weekend.
Nice, but way overrated.

The exhaust note is too loud and raspy. That may fit a utilitarian, no- compromises car like a 911, but not a BMW. At lower speeds there is a looseness in the gearbox. It sounds like something is broken. BMW says this is totally normal given the car's racecar heritage. I say that's a cop-out. The car is fast but not enough to justify that. The stereo sucks. I've had problems with speaker vibration from the beginning and BMW can't or won't fix it. The car's performance envelope is too far beyond what you can do on the street. Under normal driving, this car is no better than the 330ci. My advice is to save the extra $20k and buy that model.

If Bond were to choose a car that he can truly use in genuine espionage work, this is it. The M3 may not be too flashy with its chassis design but it still remains a very handsome GT car. It is adequately "very" powerful too with its ability to reach 60mph in less than 5 seconds. It has a Sequential Manual Transmission, which is similar to F1 cars. I got all the techno-upgrades and this decision continues to prove as a very wise one. Indeed, the only options missing were an ejector seat and concealed sub-machine guns. If you can solve the formula: Me=M3, then go get one. Once you do, you don't have to "die another day".

This is my 4th BMW and wanted to treat myself to a convertible. Although this is truly a looker, unless you are driving the Daytona 500 to work, Id suggest getting the loaded 330 (or Lexus IS). Racing clutch is impossible to not be jerky no matter how delicate you shift. Suspension is so tight than unless youre on pristine Florida roads, you can lose a kidney on the way to work. But, lets face it, the car draws attention and its still true that nothing handles and drives like a BMW!
