2004 BMW Coupe Reviews

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.

Very fun car to drive it is also very fast. Only downlfall is it is a little bumpy sometimes.  Car also can be pretty expensive to maintain.  You should always have some money set aside each year for normal maintence and tires.

It's a great car with great build quality.  It does, however,
weigh much more than I'd like.  The maintenance of such a
high performance engine is a bit costly.  However, the car
is a blast to drive despite it's weight.  It doesn't have the
raw brawler feel of an STI, but steering feel is great.  If
the car weighed like 300 lbs it'd be perfect.

The car drives and sounds superb,it makes you smile everytime you drive it.Once you press the sport button the car jumps into action and just wants to press you back into your seat everytime you dab the accelerator. I think 0-60 comes just less than  5 seconds but feels quicker than that at times.The build quality is what you would expect from BMW and this car has extras with electric seats,sunroof,AC, Nav/TV and SMG semi auto gearbox.
But with all this fun it comes with a price 18-26 mpg, front discs and pads are £400 just for parts. Inspection2 service is around £900 and decent rear tyres are £250 each.The tax at the moment is £210 which was the same as my 330D. So running costs are a nightmare, all M cars are but its worth it for the Fun! Highly Recommended Addiction

I love it!!!
