Used BMW M3 for sale in Chicago, IL

I had a very pleasant experience. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase! he finance department explained everything thoroughly and answered all my questions. Great people

Cars, much like many other components of modern life, are showrooms for all the latest technology the modern consumer needs. In many ways this is great but at a certain point they lose their car-iness and become tools for abstracting the driver away from the driving itself. I would guess car manufacturers are responding to what the customers are asking for. But I fell in love with cars long ago not because their a tool or a means to an end. I like cars that are meant to be driven and that create a relationship between you and its interfaces. The E36 M3 is a performance car from an era where this relationship still mattered and this is part of why it lured me in in the first place. No WiFi, no Bluetooth, no color touch screen, no digital instrument cluster, no rear-view camera - mine doesn't even have a CD player. But BMW's iconic straight six engine mated to a five speed manual transmission is glorious to drive spiritedly and this is the reason I bought it. There isn't an abundance of assists getting in between you and the driving experience and correspondingly there are less electronic bits to go wrong. The E36 era of M3 is going on 20 years old - even for its youngest model - so a budget for maintenance is something to consider if this car is on your list of possibilities. There used to be chatter of a "$10k rule" on the enthusiast forums, meaning that regardless of whether you buy a $5k E36 M3 or a $8k E36 M3 you'll have to spend the difference between that and $10k to get it into reliable shape. Based on my experience that sounds about right. Problem areas are well documented on the enthusiast forums as are their solutions which make this platform alluring if you're interested in tackling DIY-level maintenance tasks yourself. The E36 M3 isn't for everyone but if you're after an unfiltered driving experience at a somewhat reasonable price it's a strong candidate. Going into it with proper expectations, ownership can be a gratifying experience.

G-Motors has an excellent selection of quality vehicles. Mr. Uri and Ms. Iryna provided excellent customer service, making my car-buying experience smooth and straightforward. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a quality vehicle and an affordable price.

I bought this 2016 Mineral white M3 Dct fully loaded with every option except extended leather in 2017 with 6000 miles on the clock. The car has been an exhilarating joy to own and nothing compares to it in its price range. Sure you can buy a Camaro, Dodge or a Mustang for less money but neither have the interior, body design, or finesse the M3 has. The DCT is second only to Porsche's PDK. Yes, I've owned and driven a lot of cars to make these comparisons. Reliability and maintenance 40k miles later has been a positive because things do not break as long as you are routine about your maintenance intervals, but remember this is a BMW so maintenance is not cheap. Would I buy again? Without a second thought I would as I prepare for purchase and the release of the G80 M3 Awd in 2021. Something the M3 is in need of due to torque of the rear wheel drive F80.

Outstanding customer service. True to their word. Just bought a second vehicle from Xchange and could not be happier. Great price, honest about the vehicles in stock. I could not be happier.

Just bought a 2013 Audi RS5 and the car was everything I hoped. As good if not better than new. Nikhil was a pleasure to work with and made buying this car an effortless choice. Would highly recommend this dealer, even when buying a sight unseen vehicle.

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!

It is rare to meet true professionals in any industry, but Xchange Motors is just that - a group of true professionals. They were a pleasure to work with, especially Mel who was my primary contact there. Being an out of state buyer, these guys even went so far as to bring the vehicle I was interested in (Maserati GranTurismo MC) to a Maserati dealership of my choosing in their area for a pre-purchase inspection (PPI). Of course, I paid Maserati to perform the PPI, but Xchange Motors ferried the vehicle there and back at NO COST (plus there was no hesitation from them when I referenced wanting to have a PPI performed). The people at Xchange Motors went above and beyond in every respect and I will absolutely go them in the future even as an out of state buyer because these guys can find even hard to source vehicles. By the way, I flew into Illinois to pick up the GranTurismo MC and I drove it home more than 1,000 miles with zero issues. If you're looking for a dealership that I found to be honest, reliable and professional, I would strongly recommend giving these guys a look.

One of the top sports cars of 1995, the BMW M3. So fun to drive. Tight handling, great pickup, awesome on back roads. If you want a fun car to drive, this is the one.

The whole team is great! Highly recommend going here for your used car needs. They make it an easy and fast process Thank you Top Gear!

BMW E46 M3.. while many cars can out perform the older M3, this is my favorite, for classic, gorgeous BMW coupe looks, the last of the non-tubo 6 cylinder, and elegant interior with more than enough technology underlying the simple cockpit and controls and yet outstanding performance when you want, and docile enough to enjoy around town. Really, just an all around sweet package!

I had the best customer service they helped me get approved for a car and they need all in there power to do it and I am so grateful for that and I would recommend this dealer to anyone that is looking for a good car

I bought my M3 (e92) as a fun car for occasional use on track. It’s a project car really, and I’ll upgrade the car as I can afford to do so. So far I’ve had the car out on track twice, without any modifications apart from better pads and racing fluid for the brakes. The car handles extremely well, and performance in the high rev range is astonishingly good for a car that is so docile around town. The only areas requiring some attention are front brakes and exhaust. The front brakes are perfectly ok for normal driving, but for track use I’ll probably change the callipers and discs. The exhaust is ok, but a previous owner has done something with it to make it more noisy...sounds great but at 110db it fails most race circuit noise tests. There isn’t much about this car I don’t like. If I were to be picky maybe the interior is a bit bland, but it is a BMW, and after 78,000 miles there are no squeaks or rattles.

Found these guys on the internet and it was a very pleasant experience they are very knowledgeable with tesla nd can even service them alot of other dealers dont even ha e a shop highly recommend them

It is a very well built and engineered car. It’s a pleasure to drive and handles like a dream. The high reving in-line 6 is super reliable and has a great exhaust note, I’ve owned a lot of sports cars and this is definitely in the number 1 or 2 spot.

I bought a Corvette last week.. Worked with Mike Ryan. I should have to send a review earlier. but I was working on the car. Now I can see out of the car. Mike and I have a joke between us. Mike is great and a lot of help. It was nice that he has the love and understanding of cars, like me. Kudos to Mike!!

I’ve been trying to get an M3 for 15yrs now and I finally found the one I wanted with low miles and affordable. I love the performances and handling and the power is mind blowing!

Even though I didn't purchase the vehicle I initially was interested in, the entire encounter with this dealership was impeccable. The owner and his salesman were helpful, patient and respectful. As an individual with autobody and mechanical knowledge, I highly recommend this dealer.

I'd been driving 328i's for over 10 years but always wanted an M3.  I only wanted an E92/S-65 version and took my time to find the right one.  I found it two years ago (in 2018) at a dealership 900 miles away from where I live:  It was a 2013 with only 27,800 miles on it.  I flew down to check it out.  It was Space Grey and had the competition package and cold weather package.  Another interesting feature I discovered when I got there, was that it also had the Dinan exhaust system as well.  The dealer never mentioned that and the web pictures never showed it.  He had no idea of the added value.  The car was spotless and I was impressed. The test drive sealed the deal.  What a machine. I felt I stole it for $34,000.  It has the 7 speed dual clutch tranny.  I've always driven sticks, and my previous 328's were all sticks, but at 61 years of age, and with the idiot drivers in NC, I actually preferred a slushbox at this point.  The dual clutch tranny is outstanding.  The shifts are tighter than anything I could ever do with the manual, but if I want to go into sport mode, I can do it grabbing the console shifter or by tapping the paddles.   While the M3 is more known for its speed, it is also incredibly comfortable to drive.  The leather seats are well cushioned and just hug you from the side.  I have a bad back, and driving this home from Miami to NC straight through, I had no additional pain at all by the end of the trip.  The interior trim is fairly simple  but well appointed.  Mine has the wood grained dash, and also has the rear window power sun screen.  Also has the recessed GPS and the premium sound system.  This car is the last of a rare breed - a naturally aspirated V-8 with a sound that is simply glorious.  It has three tones: a low smooth rumble at idle, a growl with normal acceleration, and an absolute roar if you jump on it.  According to my 21 year old son (who owns my previous 328i coupe), I drive it too gently, though he's  not always with me.  :-)  I let him drive it a couple of times and his face lit up as he put it through its paces in sport mode.  I probably do drive it too easy most of the time.  I don't track it, but I've certainly had some fun with it.  It is nice to know I have the power there when I want it, especially on the interstate.  Going into "M" mode is a real treat.  The car just takes off like a rocket and it pins you to the rear of the seat.  It's handling is firm, but not uncomfortable, and it takes corners with ease. Beyond its power and handling, this is simply a beautiful car with incredible lines, my favorite being the flared rocker panels.  I originally figured I'd keep it for a couple of years until I "got it out of my system".  I still haven't, and can't imagine I ever will.  I still look forward to driving this every day.  The newer M3's are admittedly even faster, but they sound like crap.  I rarely even listen to music in mine.  The sound of the S-65 engine as it goes through its paces is like a symphony to me. It now has 55,000 miles on it, and those are predominately interstate and back road miles to and from work.  I'm getting ready to retire, so the yearly mileage will be even less now.  I don't plan to sell it.  It's just too much fun to drive.   I recommend this car wholeheartedly.  As the last of the naturally aspirated M cars, is destined to be a classic and I believe it will hold its value very well.

Looking for a fast or sweet ride? Then look no further. Diamondmotorworks has everything you'll need when it comes to cars, truck and even bikes! Rami,the owner, is an awesome guy and is easy to work with. He's honest and cares for his customer. He also buys vehicles too. He purchased my Ultra Red (AJ4) 1995 Nissan 300ZXTT 5SPD. Which did not last long on his showroom floor. So check out his inventory or stop by to say hi. You just may leave with a special ride ;)

The entire purchase experience was one that you would not expect at a typical car dealership. I dealt directly with the owner who was also the decision maker. What I liked especially was that the entire emphasis of the conversations that took place between the two of us were to address my questions and concerns, to better understand what I wanted rather than the glorification of the vehicle driven by the desire to sell. Also, the handling of the administrative tasks was executed smoothly and I also decided to puchase the extended warranty. I told all my buddies how happy I was with the purchase and the experience as well as the young owner who is also a car enthusiast. I hope you find this review helpful and good luck on your purchase.

If top-notch service and an extensive inventory are what you're after, look no further than Affinity Auto Sales. Their dedicated team addressed all my concerns promptly and ensured I drove away happy. A testament to what a dealership should be.

BMW's, specifically M series can sometimes get a bad rep for reliability and the markup in service cost if out of warranty. This couldn't be further from the truth...I've owned two f80 M3s and these things are extremely well-engineered and other than the random crankhub issues (typically caused by loose crankbolts from the factory or bad tunes that on-ramp torque too quickly) these cars are bullet-proof. I've put over 70,000 miles on this chassis and have had ZERO headaches, zero mechanical surprises and nothing but a xxxx eating grin from ear to ear each and every time I drive one. BMW did a knockout job mechanically and cosemetically with this generation F8X M3 and they've prooven to hold-up against the test of time. With petrol engines being phased out, this car is sure to continue to hold it's value!!!

Fast and easy experience here was greeted by Joel who was very friendly after flying in from NY pick up my beautiful bmw m5 would highly recommend!

Toni Price (Sales Associate) from Heritage Motor Company, was AMAZING! Actually the entire staff was great. Great communication, easy buying process, well worth checking out if you are interested in a vehicle.

Kris at Audi Exchange was great! He was very patient with my family and I as we had tons of questions about leasing a car with a trade in. Kris along with the other salesmen who helped out and also the manager were all such a great help. Thank you!

If you don’t own this far you should .. it has style , class , sporty look , good for the family and it is very comfortable

This was our 2nd time buying with Audi exchange and had another great experience. The inventory is always great and find exactly what we were looking for. We will continue to buy our cars here !

Given I ordered the car with a cool optional paint color, it gets much attention wherever I go. In addition, the overall look, sound and performance enhance the attention. I have owned many performance cars over the years and to date the 2022 M3 Competition is the best car the I have owned and the most exciting and rewarding to drive.

in all my years buying cars, i have never had a dealership go so up & above for me as exotic motors has. let me start with ali, my sales consultant. ali, is extremely professional, knowledgeable & kind. he literally pulled off miracles to get me where i wanted to be for the purchase of my 2014 corvette stingray..also mike the finance mgr was excellent & kind. alex was very helpful too. i highly recommend exotic motors.

This my third m3, from an e36,e46 to f80 and still amazed about BMW M3 performance, I owned a 911, and by far M3 is more comfortable and fun to drive. As far as performance, my personal opinion, I like it better with a sexy and athletic body design, offer you a more virile expression of the ultimate driving sensation, definitely reflection of ownership personality.

The car met and exceeded my needs. I have always wanted to own a BMW M3 because of their reputation and because i am big BMW fan.

Great service… car was fixed as promised and communication was on key. Keep up the great service

Feels like a true sports car in the 6 speed manual. Handles excellent. No turbos! Just pure and simple Bmw V8 muscle. E92 has a reason to have fans.

Loved this car while I owned it. I’ve had a couple BMWs and this was by far the most reliable and fun vehicle thus far.
