M3 - The new BEAST?

In the past 4 years I've had the e60 M5, 2007 M6 cabrio, and 2005 M3 cabrio. This car is built much better than all three of those. M6 and M5 are similar, and some would say in their own class. Yes and no, the M3 seems to be much more agile and nimble, which gives the impression of being just as fast if not faster. Interior is the same as any new BMW car, not that great, but better than the likes of MB or P-cars. Back seat is way better than 911 p-car, but still pathetic. Overall, I think this car actually has some value in it and in today's day and age is affordable for the supercar-like performance and feel. Thumbs up!

Great combination of everyday practicality and speed and handling. Pricey but every option is available and quality seems to be excellent.

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.

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.

Love it

Love the car. The Blue is fantastic. The leather is really high quality. Love the MDrive option because I drive this car daily in the summer and I don't need to spill my coffee at every stop light. Love the IDrive. I think the IDrive has gotten a bad rap from the non-computer literate generation out there. The car is simply everything good I wanted in a car, power, style, luxury, safety, performance, it's all there.
