  • A mountain road carver with great steering feel

    I bought the M3 to replace my Porsche Cayman S when my wife and I had kids. Although the car has a nice revving V8 and very communicative steering with good feedback it is no match for the Cayman. As a around town drive the family around car it isn't a lot of fun. The ride is stiff and the chassis doesn't feel alive in town BUT when you drive on a twisty mountain road the car is in it's element. The chassis and steering come alive and eagerly attack each upcoming corner. It loves elevation changes and always feels composed and buttoned down. I have never tracked my car but assume it would eat up a good road course like Lime Rock. The mechanically quality is fair but the materials used are far and above domestic and asian products. Even the door sill have a noticeable heft and quality you wouldn't find with a Lexus or Toyota. The thing that do break are more expensive to replace because of this too. Overall good touring or track car but not a lot of fun around town.

  • Very reliable with no problems

    This car has been very amazing, I have not yet had one problem with the vehicle. Very fast. Just two cons would be the mileage and creaking sound from the hardtop.

  • Fun!!

    If you care about gas prices, dont get this car. It is a thirsty V8 that wants more, and you cant help but push that pedal to the floor. Brought a smile to my face every time I drove.

  • Amazing Car!

    e92 M3's are amazing. I have owned an AW Manual Coupe for 4 years and it was amazing. It might be low on torque but if you drive up the rev limiter where it should be, boy is it rewarding!

  • Loved my Convertible BUT $$$

    I had a BMW M3 Convertible that drove amazingly well but the DCT (Auto Trans) was glitchy & would have opted for the Manual if I could have found one. The top operated ok but didn't like uneven surfaces & had a tendency to pop/snap when going into parking lot or hard corners. The ride was ROUGH as a true sports car should be & lucky it wasn't my daily driver. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE CAR TO OWN (even if its paid off), my average cost per mile was about $1.45 when most lux vehicles run about .75/mi.
