M3 coupe rocks!!

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.
The Only V8 M3 Coupe

I bought the 2009 M3 Coupe with a little over 28K miles on it in 2021. It has the 414HP high revving V8 engine that was used in the E90 and E92 M3. It has the DCT transmission and adjustable suspension and has a tan leather interior with the body being Aspen White. It's a very nice color combination and gets allot of attention still being 15 years old. As far as performance the car can transform itself from a family coupe to a race car in seconds. Put it in M mode and paddle shift at 8,000 RPM's and you had better be prepared for some pretty hard to believe speed and acceleration. As far as handling it can be set to mirror my C5 Corvette which is pretty impressive. Brakes are outstanding as well. There are numerous concerns on You Tube about engine issues that had me concerned about buying the car but after two and a half years of ownership I have to say the car has been a pleasure to drive and very reliable. Maintenance can be self preformed if you are inclined and will save you allot of cost. The only faults I have of the car is premium fuel and no better than 21MPG on freeway driving due to lack of an overdrive. 70 MPH is still close to 3,000 RPM. And the engine doesn't have an oil dipstick which still blows my mind. Plusses are outstanding performance and solid feel. Zero oil usage in 5,000 mile intervals and no oil dripping in 15 years of service. Very comfortable seats and gauges and interior components are very high quality and what you would expect for an $80K car in 2009. If you buy one 2010 and older make sure rod bearings were changed at 60K. If not plan on doing it at a cost of about $5K. Larry Hunt

Not worth it

2008 BMW M3 2dr Convertible (4.0L 8cyl 6M)

I always considered a convertible M3 as my dream car and in 2008 I went out and bought one- brand new. It was gorgeous and "impressive" but totally and absolutely not worth the sticker price. It had so many stupid quirks that I rarely drove it, preferring my Volvo station wagon (!). I will never again buy a BMW and I pity the poor guy who got mine when I dumped it after 2 years and only 15,000 miles. I'm glad I got the BMW bug out of my system, but it cost a lot to be cured!
Underpowered

Dependable and comfortable. Fun to drive. Brakes great, handles well. But, built to keep you out of trouble. Underpowered as can be for the real enthusiast your better off building an American v8 in a muscle car. These are tame in comparison. IMO BMW built these for folks that really don't know what real power is. They are very tame. Stomp the gas and wait. Ya for yuppies it may be a little impressive but for real men its a disappointment on a high level. Forgettable power, lame. I will not buy another 1 unless they trust me not to crash it, they don't. Needs much more torque and or turbocharging.
