1998 BMW M3 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1998 BMW M3 praise its incredible performance, superior handling, and satisfying power delivery. Many drivers appreciate the car's fun driving experience, good build quality, and stylish appearance. However, some have reported concerns about fuel consumption and maintenance costs, particularly for repairs. Despite its age, it remains a favorite among enthusiasts for both street use and track days."
The performance is incredible, and it has the best mid range torque. The smooth inline 6 combined with one of bmw's famous 5 speed manual gear boxes, and some stop tech brakes makes the car more than I imagined possible.
October 20, 2009Amazing road car, great engine, inexpensive to buy, it's a tank. Expensive to maintain, a bit heavy and soft for track use. Easy to drive if you're awake, the LSD is great on track and in the wet. Plenty of room in the back, all necessary amenities, but please don't use it in the winter, it'll be less expensive to buy a beater in the long run.
June 30, 2009This car is almost magical. It is balanced, the power delivery is linear, the brakes are wonderful, etc.

May 17, 2008I love this car because you feel very young, almost like the time when you first got into the out run game at the fair and thought you were really driving. Performance is fantastic but if you drive hard it drinks hard, very hard. Build quality is very good, it is German after all. I personally like the minimilistic look of the E36 interior but it may not suit everyone. Not as expensive to run as i thought it would be, some parts are expensive but some are suprisingly good value. for me this is deffinately a very fun car to drive but go that little bit too hard and it will bite you!
July 20, 2010Wonderful handling, brakes, transmission, acceleration, and all performance characteristics. Nice sporty interior. Good ride for a sports oriented car.
December 18, 2007The E36 BMW M3 is an iconic vehicle, it handles well and keeps up with most vehicles from that era. Its great for a weekend track day or driving it around town and with the reliability of the inline six cylinder it wont leave you stranded!
February 3, 2015i like every thing about it its my prized posession top speed: 280 k/mh no repairs whatsoever styling is kept original mileage on the clock is 78 909, full service this car is the best drive you'll ever have
January 11, 2011A step down from the e46 acceleration and power wise. The torque sort of makes up for it, especially when driving in the city. The handling is superior to anything I have ever owned, and i owned quite a few.
January 8, 2008My M3 was awesome as a street car and know justa s impressive as a track car. It makes me want to get another one to drive everyday.
June 29, 2008Awesome car - plenty of torque and power, fairly comfortable, no unnecessary options (power seats, etc). Great around town and road car. Surprisingly efficient fuel-wise and decent build quality.
