2009 BMW M3 User Reviews

Pros

Not many on the road. Handling, smooth lines, and simply looks good.

Cons

The car feels a little heavy. Too many electronci gagets.

Purchased As New

I have a 2009 space metallic gray coupe, six speed manual (the dual clutch auto-has already had a recall) because I have never had an automatic and enjoy a little more control of vehicles. I previously owned a 05 M3 and there is a difference. The 05 felt easier to drive, slower initially, but screams at reline. The styling was nice. The 09, although faster from the start, feels heavy. The car feel more like a luxury vehicle, but I do like the V8 sound and the smooth shifting (could be a little shorter, tighter shift). I have customized with a carbon fiber front lip spoiler; carbon fiber exhaust deflector in the rear and custom BBS wheels with 275/35 19 rear (the front stay at 245/35 19). I think this car is an all around solid combination of luxury and sport vehicle. I really like the idea that they are not on every neighborhood block.
