Pros

BEST CAR EVER

Cons

NONE

Purchased As New

this is the best car to own. it is fast, comfortable, and nice best car ever

Pros

Beautifully engineered car; truly an ultimate driving machine. Good look and out of this world sound

Cons

Uncomfortable for more than 2 persons. Poor mileage.

Purchased As New

This car has everything going for it. Cornering, acceleration and good looks. Mine is Interlagos metalic blue with grey interior. Sound system is great, when you can hear it ... I turn the radio off just to hear the sound of the engine going through the rpm's.
Idrive isn't as bad as I had heard; got the hang of it fast. If you get tired of all these systems controlling the car, just shut them off but get ready to hang on to the wheel; this one can really spin out of control or if you know what you're doing, you'll have the time of your life....read morehide

Pros

Mechanic grip at wheel, engineering of powertrain, and everything else

Cons

nothing, nada, ziltch

I've had a few other cars in this price range (Porsche, etc) but this car has them beat. The minute you start the car and row through gears you know you are in something truly special that is unmatched. I find it impossible to go speed limit. The looks of the car are deceiving. From afar the looks are nice but kind of blend in with crowd. However, when you approach this car the body work, and wheels are just down right menacing. I have a 2008 black on black fully loaded M3 with manual - those who own this car know what I am talking about, those who don't need a taste and won't be disappointed....read morehide

Pros

Great!

Cons

Great!

The best car ever, great appearance, comfortable, fast... any other comment is unnecessary! THE BEST!!!

Pros

Engine, Styling, M power, lots of attention

Cons

none

i got mine last 2 months ago, and it was so good from the exterior to the interior, the sound of the engine was almost too great here in the Philippines and i draws too much attention everywhere i go and specially when i accelerate it creates much attention in the highway (SLEX).

Pros

Looks fast just sitting in the garage, stunning from every angle...

Cons

My face hurts from smiling too much when I am driving it

If you want to see people stop and stare as you putter around, this is the car for you. The fit and finish are outstanding and the sound out the back end is downright adictive. I've owned an E36 and an E46 M3, and this one is more refined for regular driving, but, the entire driving experience changes in an instant simply by pressing the "M" button on the steering wheel....read morehide

Pros

Awesome looks, amazing ride and incredible engine.....

Cons

Doesn't feel as quick as E46 M3 (even though it is!)

Replaced my 2006 E46 convertible with this baby. Both are amazing vehicles, but I miss the convertible - so go that way if you can. It is unlikely that you will find a more complete car out there in almost every respect.

Pros

Performs and looks great with top up or down. Slick retractable hardtop.

Cons

Fuel economy is poor. Traction is poor with even the slightest frost.

I bought mine in blue with tan interior and loaded. It's got the looks and performance of a supercar at half the price. What a head-turner! The M Drive in sport mode really enhances the driving experience. It is a blast. I was also pleasantly surprised with the Navigation/iDrive interface. I had been dreading it based on all the negative press but it really works well once you get the hang of it....read morehide

Pros

Head turning "what was that" looks, incredible acceleration and ride.

Cons

Fuel Economy, pricy options.

Four weeks under my belt in a fully loaded M3 Coupe, White over Silver with 19" wheels and all the right toys on board, it looks the bizness. I went old school and stuck to manual transmission, couldn't really justify to myself paying a hefty price premium for the double clutch automatic.

iDrive is so easy to use I don't know what all the fuss is about over this system, even my 11 year old had it completely mastered in minutes.

The "Cylinder Symphony" bellowing out of the exhaust makes the stereo system redundant, better than any soundtrack I can think of.

On the downside the car's onboard computer nags me constantly that it's drinking lots of premium gas, even with a light foot. Loading the car with all expected creature comforts is a pricy proposition (like all BMW's).

Fit and finish are excellent so far, this one's a keeper....read morehide

Pros

everything

Cons

MPGs could be better, but hey it's an M3!

This car is awesome! Dual clutch, black on black w/carbon fiber trim, 19" wheels, technology and premium packages. Just finished my 1200 mile break-in period...so now I can really have fun with it. My Buddy calls it a land jet. We'll see how the land jet does on the track though. I'm sure it will be insane....read morehide
