Best BMW I have ever owned.

It is a great car. The performance is excellent. The S65 V8 engine is a engineering marvel. I get many compliments on the Fire Orange color.

Performance, style and robustness

Even though e92 M3 is old generation comparing with F82, the style is not old and its S65 NA engine is more responsive than current turbo M3s. On the maintenance point of view, yeah~ its nickname is TANK.

The last of the NA M cars

They will never make another like this. Do you know what is better than winding out a V8 to 8300 RPM? Nothing, that's what! With all of the new cars going turbo, you get a lot more power, but those motors have no soul. This is the last of the naturally aspirated M motors, and I would say it's the best one ever made, with the E46's S54 coming in second. The E90 is well balanced, even though it's slightly on the heavy side, the M engineers have worked their magic, to give you an excellent driving experience. The technology in the car harks back to 2009, but it is still not outdated, with great smartphone, and bluetooth integration.

One of the most fun performance cars around

This is the last convertible (coupe) M3 with the naturally aspirated V8 engine, and I can't stress enough how amazing this car is. For the money, there isn't another car that competes with this. Yes, AMG and the S line of Audi are all great cars, but the M, especially the M3, is in a league of its own and hold so much more character. I used this car for everyday use, and it was just great. Extremely comfortable, and I am a very tall man, and I could easily drive long stretches without feeling I needed to get out to stretch my legs. You can set this car to cruise around with low throttle response and comfortable suspension, but as soon as you press that little M button on the steering wheel, the car becomes a totally different animal. The double clutch gearbox is a masterpiece, and while it's fun to shift yourself, the gearbox in automatic mode shifts so fast and seamless that you'd think the car only has one gear. The rev matching is not only useful when exploring the engine, but the sound is euphoric for any gear-head. The inside is not cluttered or having the feel that it's 'too much,' it's rather elegante and logical. I owned this car for three years, put 40K miles on it, and was really sad to part with it. I have owned higher performance cars after this, but my heart always goes back to this M3. Even though it is very fast and feels sturdy and solid, it's still smooth as silk on the road, even on the terrible roads we have in Los Angeles. I had no mechanical issues or other performance hindering problems. In hindsight, I wish I would have kept it.

One of the nicest cars out there!

Without a doubt in my mind the 2013 BMW M3 is one of the nicest cars known to man. I personally bought mine last month and could not be happier with it. From the performance to the beautiful stitching this car really symbolizes the Ultimate Driving Machine. What I mainly enjoy about this car is the engine. This car was the last year BMW produced its M3 with a naturally aspirated V8. When you hit that gas peddle you immediatly get a smile on your face! Definetly a car that I would recommend to anybody that wants a real drivers car! you will not be let down!

Dynamic all-around performance vehicle.

The M3 Coupe offers comfortable daily driving and is an absolute monster on back roads. No issues to speak of regarding reliability.

My new used car

I'm in love with this car. The performance is unbelievable as is the overall look of the car. It's my daily driver, so I wish it had a full size spare tire but I get it's a performance car so...

The Ultimate Driving Machine!!

This truly is an enthusiast car to the core!! Powerful naturally aspirated 4.0 V8, superb suspension (Competition Package), beautiful aesthetics(Carbon fiber roof, 19" aggressive wheels). Smooth clean lines make this one of the sexiest BMW on the road! The new M3/M4 have advanced lighting, technology, etc... but this is a true Beast!!! This is not for older whining people complaining about comfort, it is a high performance vehicle that needs tight suspension for handling. If you have back problems or other ailments that hurt you to stand up, you probably shouldn't be driving this. Just because you can afford it dosen't mean you have to own it. That being said, if you can afford it you won't regret this investment!!

Best M3 Ever

This E92 M3 will go down in history as the best M3 ever. The only one with the powerful, aggressive V8 racing engine, with the growl that is spine-tingling. It is faster, more powerful and better handling than any of its predecessors (and yes, I owned an E46 M3). And the new M3/M4 is a joke with small engine, forced induction, huge size, and fake sound that is pumped into the cabin. Unfortunately, M is dead and the last real M3 is the 2008-2013 E92 M3.
