rebuilt title - exceed 85% of value to repair

Insurance would not have totaled the car unless the repair costs exceeded 85% of the value. $76k msrp less 85% is a $64k repair. More than a minor fender damage. This is a cash buyer only and a great value for a dedicated track car.

handled the winter of 2014

This car moved me through every snowstorm that came my way. The ease of driving through snow falls and iced streets made traversing the road a pleasant experience.

Excellent overall vehicle

There is a reason why the e9x M3 has been praised by almost every professional automative journalist out there. Without a shadow of a doubt, you won't be able to get the performance, everyday utility and overall day-to-day livability better than with the e9x M3. The chasis is stiff, but not extreme. Unlike what the other ignorant reviewer posted, a stiffer suspension has nothing to do with horsepower. It has more to do with the driving dynamics of the vehicle but if all you want is the throwback-into-your-seat feeling, this isn't the vehicle for you, get a 335. The M3 has a high revving S65 V8 that makes you smile whenever it closes into redline while still giving most well-handling vehicles a run for their money(and I came from a MINI JCW which handled like its on rails). The M3 is not the fastest in a straight line, but it's a true driver's car south of 100k. Those who disagree are not discerning drivers, they're just wealthy consumers. Period.

Its a good car

I had it for three years now and I have to say Im satisfied with the car. Of course the performance is above avarage but so is miles per gallon as you can expect. It doesnt have a lot of leg room at the back seats, so Its a problem for long trips with 3-4 people.

BMW: A Study in DEPRECIATION

A good track car not a street car. Great for Mommy's 25 year old rich boys. Whiplash, hip, other neck and back damage common. Depreciation at it's worst. Look at 20078 5 Series prices. Lucky I never got tickets with my 335i. Another waste. Who's going to pay for the maintenance after the warranty, if your body lasts that long. 50 year old buyers, BEWARE. If you value your health.

Stay Away

They swapped an SMG transmission into it. This is the older model of the automated manual that was replace by the DCT for the e9x M3. Stay far away.

BMW M3

This car is so cool. I like its exterior, which is perfect. For this car, expeecially it's engine with V8. So M3 has very strong house power, I enjoy BMW M3!

Wonderful car

I own and drive a 2011 Porsche Gt3 RS and a 2013 ML 63. Drove the M3 a week ago on loved it. It had the semi Manuel transmission with the competition package. The car has a great sound, power, and neutral balanced handling. The car could use a little more lower rpm torque but all in all a great car and gas mileage is not anything to write home about. Received a lot of admiring looks on the road. Right now there are some very good incentives on the last remaining cars so the prices/ w lease rates are very favourable. I would definitely recommend this car.
