2004 BMW M3 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Like power, handling. Dislike high parts costs and the fact it might not be that reliable as I have had $10,000 in major repairs in the last 4 years. It does have a timeless design, however. I feel like it will be a classic car one day.

Fast and fun to drive. Accelerates quick from 0-60 in the mid 4 seconds range. Handles well and requires little maintenance, but it is expensive when it does. Love the color and interior. It gets decent gas mileage, but it takes premium fuel.

Quick, comfortable, reliable - ultimate sports coupe

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!

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

NOTE: Model M3 CSL First car that I dont see myself selling!!! It has the peformances of previously owned TVRs and the simplicity but at the same time it has the build quality and reliability of german cars . Handling is that of a race car but still usable for the road.

Good ride all arounder, A drivers car. Solid Chasis and excellent engine and good brakes with low fade. Suspension is better with bilsteins to better neutralize under/oversteer.

It's 333 hp. 6 spd manual transmission. I've never owned a better car. It's fast as hell. It was expensive when it came out but wasn't bad as a used car price. The car is excellent to drive, fast, great handling and the interior is very top notch. Great all around car.

Feels like a V8 muscle car. Precise control overall Interior was kinda worn. Build Quality was pretty good Gas Mileage is costy, but no maintenance fees A lot of fun with this car.. but i dont kno if i want the car

Stock suspension nicely setup, perfect height for 19" and 285/30-19 rear. Probably BMW's last Inline-6 NA M3.

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.

It's a "very much fun" to drive car. The acceleration and the handling is better than the normal M3 and it's a race track car but also an every day car with a little bit of tollerance for the comfort of the suspension.

Great car, but attracts too much attention. Goes through tires very fast. Wheels are too big. Seat warmers are great for when it's cold for 2 weeks out of the year, but useless for the rest. Transmission is great for driving fast, but in traffic it's almost harder than driving a manual. Overall it's a great car for people with long flowing locks of hair that want the sun in their face all the time. Too bad I like my hair short.

my car does not like the heat, living here is a problem , the interior does not hold when it is over 40degrees C, apart from that, i hunt porsches in it and it has a great sound. possibly might get the new version, if you want to know how good they are , buy one, or better still, Race one.... that will tell you everything you need to know as you watch the four exhaust pipes leaving your view.

the bmw m3 2004 is 1 of the best sports coupes on the market, it handles accelerates and brakes like a god, it looks stunning on the outside and in, which really give this car is name which is M3.

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.

Performance, this car have a unique handling, braking and of course acceleration time ..... Appearance, as you can see, BMW, has for the "M" models a unique colors frame, diferent from the regulars one´s. Fun factor: It is the most fun car i drive from all i got in my entire life.

This car got me stuck next to the road three times... and before we sold it, had it's engine replaced. We lost about R30 000 on this deal.

Fantastic performance, good MPG, expensive insurance and service / repair costs.

A car for every situations.Fast enough to sit with a Porsche 911(and numerous more illustrious cars)while subtle enough to tour the open roads with comfort for 4.Interior is nice without being overly opulent with enough optional extras to cater for most drivers needs.

This is a great car to drive and own. Having a stressful day? I jump in let the top down, and play heavy foot for a few miles.

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.

A great drivers car, a little uninspired when it comes to looks but then it is German. but the performance will knock your socks off...

Fast good looking car with all BMW reliability its not as mean looking as they use to make them and can only be noticed by someone who knows there cars
