Cons: Price, Repair costs, Insurance costs

Review: FIRST IMPRESSION:
The 1999 BMW M3 may be one of the most perfect cars on the planet today. By saying perfect, I mean that the balance of power and amenities are exactly fit to suit the driver's needs. The engineers at BMW...

Pros: Best bang for the buck period; Race car with room for 4 and their luggage!

Cons: Umm....Needs 2 more doors; Crappy cupholders

Review: MY OPINIONS
Most of what you'll read from my ratings are based solely on my opinions and will not discuss deep details regarding car specifications. Detailed specs can, of course, be found at other websites such as

Pros: Power, handling, head turning quotient (HUGE!), comfort (will not wear you out)

Cons: None. Absolutely none. Many complain about the plastic rear window. So what??!!

The Bottom Line: If you are considering buying a Used M3, go for it. You will not regret it.

Review: I purchased a 1999 M3 convertible sight unseen on eBay this Spring. My son and I flew to Miami (from Maryland) and the purchaser met us at the airport with the car. Away we went. I was a bit concerned that the car had 95,000 miles on it, but the ...

Pros: Best performance and quality for money; Reliable; Stylish; FUN FUN FUN!

Cons: May be considered pricey.

The Bottom Line: Want safety? performance? reliability? comfort? something unique and will turn heads? The M3 is your car.

Review: The E36 M3 (91-99) could very well be the best performing car for $50,000 or less. To be honest, this car can out perform many cars up till the $100,000 range. In my opinion you wont find a big change in performance until you reach a vehicle such as the...

Pros: Incredible. Smooth, powerful acceleration

Cons: INTERIOR is a little bland

The Bottom Line: It's a whole lot of fun for a price that won't break your bank (compared to its competitors).

Review: STRENGTHS:
PERFORMANCE: Incredible. Smooth, powerful acceleration. 0-60 in 5.4s. Hits 90 just on onramps. 60-0 in 116 feet. Surreal brakes! Unparalleled passing power. Not enough O's in smoooooth to describe this engine. Handling is simply out of...

Pros: excellent handling, good power, fun to drive

Cons: high price, high-priced parts, power drop-off

The Bottom Line: This is the best sports car on the road. Excellent performance and superior handling.

Review: The BMW M3 convertible is the best car I've ever driven, hands down. BMW's are called the ultimate driving machine, and it's true. They drive like no other car on the road. The M3 is definitely one of the best. It's nimble, powerful, and sticks to...

Pros: Power, looks, handling

Cons: High visibility, all the punks want to race

The Bottom Line: Find one. Buy it.

Review: I never imagined that I would be able to drive a car like this. I'm still getting used to it - on ...

Pros: 330 hp, great torque, excellent handling, will beat Porches silly

Cons: A bit high-end; slight oversteer? Small back seats; count on two adults comfortably

The Bottom Line: The E46 M3 is the supreme monarch of cars; it is indeed a thinly-disguised racing machine, while still maintaining the sophistication of a saint.

Review: The following article was written during the summer of 2000... as such, it is extremely dated. Currently as of March 2001, the release date of the E46 M3 is set in about April; the company that I work for, Dinan Engineering, is going to receive the...

Pros: Grabs at the curves like a 50 year old hitting on a 21 year old!!

Cons: Uuuummmmmmm, I can't afford two?!

The Bottom Line: This is the ultimate blend of style, sophistication, and power on the road for such a reasonable price.

Review: I began test driving at the Lexus dealer but wasn't satisfied with what I was getting for the money. Too much fluff and not enough raw power and performance. The purr of the engine as I accelerate on Lake Shore Drive gives me so much pleasure that is...

Pros: Performance

Cons: Price

Review: The new E46 BMW looks darn nice!!! It was shown at the Frankfurt auto show this year and hopefully will be North America by 2001. A promising 360 hp engine with a 6 speed manual has replaced the North American 240 hp engine. Power Galore! I would give...
