E46m3 Review — high maintenance. dont get one unless you can afford to keep up with it all. but other than that its a prety fun car aside from it being kinda heavy for what im use to. either e36m3 or s2000 next. If you have to get an m3, just get an 01, 02 M coupe so you can have the same high revving engine. But then you dont get the recall of the rod berring so I guess either way your screwed. Its a piece.

Everyone Must Own One At Some Point In There Life, Even If Only For A Weekend... — By far the best car I've ever owned! The performance is unreal.. 3.2 ltr straight 6 with 346BHP, 0-60 in 5 seconds! This car is so much fun to drive and it sounds amazing. Only downside is fuel consumtion, you can watch the gauge go down as you plant your foot on the loud pedal...!!

One Of The Top 3 6 Cylinder Cars On The Planet — Coolest car i've ever had. So desirable to many. Very powerful, great brakes and handling capability and fuel efficient. This car brought racing and luxury and style into one. Very fun to own, and great for picking up girls. Must have.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

M3- Be Your Own Master — Go onto the BMW website for more details, stop trying to bug me. It's basically a sports machine with a mind of its own. It does as you command it to without a second thought. Acceleration surpasses many of the vehicles I've driven

Fun — Too much fun for words. It's performance is amazing. BMW's can have expensive repairs but the looks are definitely what sets it apart from the competition. The E46 body style remains one of my favorites - Especial fond of the real-glass rear window.

Bmw M3 Roadster — It's soo fast and gorgeous!!!! Build quality is excellent, it's a 2001 and no major problems. It is definitely very fun to drive especially at high speed lol As I said the acceleration is great I'd love to try it on a track but some ppl wont let me lol
