Overview & Reviews

After a one-year hiatus, the 2008 BMW M3 returns and breaks with tradition by sporting a muscle-bound V8 instead of a stirring inline-6 under its bulging hood.

• Powerhouse V8 performance, coupe, convertible or sedan body styles available, athletic chassis, top-notch build quality.

• Navigation system brings with it exasperating iDrive, optional performance tires can be noisy.

  my m3 coupe - 2008 BMW M3
  By m3hot - August 15 - 11:21 pm

  Great combination of everyday practicality and speed and handling. Pricey but every option is available and quality seems to be excellent.

  Love it - 2008 BMW M3
  By Louie - August 14 - 8:20 am

  Love the car. The Blue is fantastic. The leather is really high quality. Love the MDrive option because I drive this car daily in the summer and I dont need to spill my coffee at every stop light. Love the IDrive. I think the IDrive has gotten a bad rap from the non-computer literate generation out there. The car is simply everything good I wanted in a car, power, style, luxury, safety, performance, its all there.

  If you like to drive - 2008 BMW M3
  By Shaf - July 14 - 1:02 pm

  Then you need to get this car. The engine sounds phenomenal and Im still in the break-in period. The DCT transmission makes this car and I highly recommend getting it. The cars fit and finish is perfect. Everything is flush no creaks or rattles. The interior would use a bit more distinction from the regular 3 series but at the price were paying compared to other countries its acceptable.

  M3 - The new BEAST? - 2008 BMW M3
  By googen - June 25 - 3:56 pm

  In the past 4 years Ive had the e60 M5, 2007 M6 cabrio, and 2005 M3 cabrio. This car is built much better than all three of those. M6 and M5 are similar, and some would say in their own class. Yes and no, the M3 seems to be much more agile and nimble, which gives the impression of being just as fast if not faster. Interior is the same as any new BMW car, not that great, but better than the likes of MB or P-cars. Back seat is way better than 911 p-car, but still pathetic. Overall, I think this car actually has some value in it and in todays day and age is affordable for the supercar-like performance and feel. Thumbs up!

  M3 Sedan - 2008 BMW M3
  By Guitardrew - June 21 - 9:41 am

  I love this car. I have two young children which means that I need a car with 4 doors. I have owned a 98 E36 M3 sedan - which was fun and a 02 E39 M5 - which was fantastic (apart from the oil leaks & quirky electronic failures) both of which made me an avid M fan. However, when it came time to replace the M5 there was no 4 door M series available. So, I switched to Audis S4. I was very surprised at how good the Audi was but it did not give me the same driving enjoyment as a BMW. When it came time to change the Audi I looked at the M5 and the M3 sedan. I liked the M5 but I could not see what I was getting for the extra $30K. The M3 is a perfect solution for me and my family... we love it!

  M3 Cab - 2008 BMW M3
  By M3 Cab - June 3 - 12:40 pm

  Ive had an E36 M3 & 00 M5. This car is significantly better. The ride & comfort are the best Ive seen with such performance. Not the fastest car out, but the balance of power, ride and awesome handling make it a fantastic package. Top down motoring is amazingly smooth & wind protected, yet when you want it, the sound from the loud pedal is better than the killer sound system! I love the ride adjustability & being able to cruise smoothly or flog it on a moments notice. Its hard NOT to smile while driving this car!

  From 07 335i to 08 M3 - 2008 BMW M3
  By AirMonte - May 25 - 7:12 am

  Owned 02 325 and 07 335i, I thought was the best BMW car made today. Went to the dealer for a service check walked out with an 08 M3. Why? The 08 M3 can go from 335i to Animal mode with a press of a button. The engine noise, throttle response, the handling, the 19" wheels with the billet brakes. They made everything in the car functional nothing cosmetic. Imola Red with the sunroof (CF roof was nice but my wife likes sunroof and that was the breaking point to purchase). The evil looks that every policeman gives you is priceless. Do not test drive the M3 if you dont have the money.

  Best M3 ever! - 2008 BMW M3
  By Steve - May 18 - 9:00 am

  Excellent overall ! Great performance, handling and build quality. Such a fun ride, engine note is awesome as well. Have had many AMG models, this M is probably best handling and driving enjoyment.

  Had my E92 M3 for about 2 months now - 2008 BMW M3
  By bmwawm3 - May 14 - 3:07 pm

  I owned E46 E36 E30 M3s and this is by far the quickest and best M3. I love the engine/exhaust noise when you hit above 5000rpm. You cant go wrong with this car.

  Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde - 2008 BMW M3
  By Kevin - May 11 - 6:06 pm

  As smooth and easy to drive as a regular 3 series. Clutch is light and easy in stop and go. In M Mode it is a beast. The difference is night and day. More power than most will need. Putting racing pads on would make it a track ready car out of the box. Only problem, needs a bigger gas tank. Overall, the best car I have ever driven or owned. Amazing trunk space for a coupe! 2 six footers will fit in the back seats comfortably. Great car. Great build quality. No regrets.
