Pros

Stylish, good looking car.  Lots of power and lots of stopping power.  Always turns heads!

Cons

Lots of buttons and adjustments.  More than just a "put it in D and go".

Great Car — I like the car - very fast and nimble. Great looks. Complicated adjustments to practically everything. Hungry for power and gets a little persnickety at low speeds. Rated as highly likely to be a future collectible car as this is last year of the normally aspirated engine.

Pure driving pleasure indeed. Can't wait for the mods!

Cons

Doesn't have i-drive and EDC, but not too worried about it

Pure Driving Pleasure — Can't wait till this car is modified. With 600hp under the hood I'm quite sure I can kick a 911's engine-toting rear end! The amazing road stability this car maintains, whilst pumping out 420hp is really awe inspiring! The E9x BMW M3's V8 naturally aspirated engine is said to be "the best engine mankind has ever created". Google it!

Must Have At Least Once In Your Life — Fully loaded rocket hard top convertible, dynamic damper control (extra), M Double Clutch Transmission, comfort access keyless entry, BMW Apps, enhanced premium sound, low mileage, heated seats, tire and wheel package (replacement), garage parked--engine growl will bring joy to any car buff's heart. 3rd and 4th child arrived since buying and no longer practical for this convertible loving family.

Best Car All Around — The BMW M3 is in a league of its own, this car is the fastest luxury sports car with 4 seats and comfort. It has all types of gadgets Blue Tooth, and it drives like a champ. I would recommend this car to any friend.

Loves It — Overall awesome car.. A little low on torque, due to the naturally-aspirated, high- revving nature of the V8. All service has been free, but she eats through tires. Slight roof rattles when top is up, amazing Novilla leather on seats and door panels, carbon-leather trim is neat. 6-Speed Stick, perfect clutch. M mode is set to stiffen the shocks and steering, and provide greater throttle response. Suspension in comfort mode is supple and luxurious through town. Car looks aggressive, yet understated, and enthusiasts always call out in love and/or jealousy.

German V8

Cons

No more V8...but I got one!

All Around Performance Sedan!! — Amazing vehicle! Did European Delivery and took it on the Nurburgring...unforgettable!! The Germany V8 is amazing, with a 8k redline, this car loves to rev... The ride is amazing, firm and well balanced, EDC is a bonus, press it twice it firm up the suspension...
