Chicago Motor Cars review

Was a pleasure doing business with these guys.

Was a pleasure doing business with these guys. Gorgeous showroom with an amazing selection of cars. True enthusiasts here. Got a great price on my car, they offered a fair price on my trade. Were super up front on all details of the car and the deal. Fast and efficient. I look forward to buying again - these guys are more like a fine automotive concierge service than a dealership! Keep it up fellas!

2001 BMW M3 Base review

High performance in an affordable package.

Easy to upgrade (e.g. DINAN) and can actually fit 4 people. Strong motor from the famous E46 series and stays glued to the road. Though a smaller convertible, it is heavy and solid giving a very safe feeling. Also, you can actually have the top down with golf clubs or groceries in the trunk!

The e46 m3 in one of the last of the real Bmws, classic bmw handling and a manual trans. Built like a rock and extremely easy to drive and enjoy. Maintanance is also classic Bmw so be prepared to feed its hunger.

2001 BMW M3 Base review

Most fun car I?ve owned

This is a future classic, prices on the e46 M3 are already rising. Out of other high performance BMW, Mercedes, and Audi, this car is by far the most fun to drive.
