1997 BMW 2 Dr STD Coupe Reviews
| “The Best M3” This is as of yet the best thing i have ever driven. The E36 M3 is hands down the best looking generation of M3, including the new E92. Drove it on Gingerman Raceway in South Haven MI and it was extremely planted in the corners, i was able to catch and pass many cars (subaru Sti, lotus elise, etc) that should have outperformed me based on power/weight ratio. i had an upgraded sport suspension and track tires but the car was otherwise completely stock. unfortunately the car was rolled on the track and totalled a few years ago otherwise im sure it would still be going strong.
Pros —
M3 handling, M3 looks, before Chris Bangle ruined the company
Cons —
underpowered in todays market, consider a supercharger or at the high end an engine swap

| “My M3” Best well rounded sports car available. The NA inline 6 engine is a monster and can even get 26-28 MPG. The handling is amazing and the braking is perfect. The pedals are even designed for heel-toe driving. The fun factor is off the charts highly recommended for anyone thinking about buying one.
Pros —
Best well rounded sport car available
Cons —
Wish I had the euro engine (+40 hp)

| “Young Classic”
Not much I can say about this car that hasn't been said a million times before me. Good pick-up with phenomenal handling.
Pros —
Handling, Response, Cargo space, Engine sound
Cons —
I could use a bit more power...aka it's a US model, not Euro

| “97 M3”
I love this car with all my heart. Classy yet aggresive. Understated yet stylish. I would only trade it in for an F1 |
| “Have Over 200k On It, And Still Drives Like A Champion!” The care is just fun to drive. It handles awesome. I can take corners, and the car is glued to the ground. The interior is getting old, and my seats are getting ripped, but hey I have been driving it for a long time.
Pros —
Performance, handling, fun to drive, looks
Cons —
electronics

| “This Thing Was Pure Fun!” This coupe was rated with 240hp but it sure felt like a whole lot more! The torque led to an absolutely amazing acceleration curve.

I sold it!
