2004 BMW M3 Coupe Review
ProsGreat engine, great suspension, and great brakes ConsLess glamorous than the E36 M3 (IMO)

The Best Handling Car Ever — The E46 M3 is the best handling car that I've ever driven. The performance is just superb - including the powerful yet smooth engine, stable and solid handling, and excellent braking. I am an average driver, but my M3 makes me feel like I'm a Formula One driver. Every single minute I spend behind its wheel is a sheer pleasure. Just can't think of driving any other car.

"bolted To A Six-speed Manual Transmission, The M3 Can Hit 60 Mph In 4.8 Seconds." — The greatest car ever built. This car is by far the greatest machine ever built. Yes, the car was expensive, but well worth the price of admission. The car i have has the SMG tranny, and for the most part, it works fantastically. With all that said however, the ride is great, handles like on rails, and can easily do over 155mph, so be careful. cruising at 120 sometimes feels like 75, and as you are zooming by troopers, you need to look down at the speedometer to make sure you are not going too fast. I bought new rims but kept the 18" for backups. Mileage is great for a car with 333hp, i get a mixed 23mpg, and I am thrilled by that. The original tires lasted 40k miles, so I thought i would upgrade to toyo t1R tires, and in 12k miles, they are completely bald. Stay with the OEM contis. so far no maintenance or repairs to complain about. GPS nav screen is bright and works great at night to drive with. I get a lot of looks while I am driving, with many teenage girls screaming for me, and older guys drooling on the car. All in all, i am very happy with the car, can't say much for the back seat, since it has been used twice, never by me, but feels roomy enbough for two adults. I have to say that there is not another car I can think of that gets the power, room, looks, handling, gas mileage, and overall driveability as an everyday car than my M3. | ||

The Best Ride Ever But I Can Do W/o The Service — The car is beautiful on the outside looks like a civic inside, drives like a dream but the car gives me a terrible time when it comes to the smaller details. Don't get the sun roof (waste!!)...it continuously opens and closes on its own..repaired 3 times but still no good...BMW service is horrendous...long waits, rude service and they are CLUELESS, especially PARK AVENUE BMW IN MAYWOOD (Trashhh!!!) Purchase a keyless entry..warning idiots will attempt to break into the vehicle even though they CANT Start it...figures they put all their money into making the engine and nothing more..Beautiful drive, beautiful exterior...crappy service :-( Owner for 2 years, 6 months Miles Driven per Year:12,000 | ||

Amazing — Best All Around sports car for its age. Takes a solid second place, in every category making it a easy win and a very good buy. Handles better then any car out there, and also has descent power. The E46 M3 I think i in the top ten best cars ever made. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

I Love This Car With My Whole Heart I Just Have 2 Kids So I Need A Truck Or Sedan At This Point. — It gets look every where I go in it and compliments almost daily. I am OCD so I never wanted to use this car for its meaning which is going fast....very fast. You can absolutely feel the power in this car, it does not like going slow. I cant put my kids in it though so outside of driving to work for a month or so before going to the field for three months or a deployment for a year I got no use out of it. This car has been well looked after and I really doubt if there are many if any others in this year and model that look as good as this. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Bmw M3 Power — great sports car you can use on a every day basis... super powerful inline 3.2 liter 6 cylinder engine! the maintenance costs are a bit high since oil has to be Castrol or Motul 10w-60 full synthetic try anything different and you will know and feel the difference! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

E46 M3 — badass car. especially with the SMG transmission. It handles like its on rails when driven hard in the canyons. it is by far the best vehicles i've owned and operated. The drive by wire throttle is instant gratification at your heels. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
