  • Damn, the babys coming! - 1999 BMW M3
    By -

    Ive owned my M3 for almost 2 years and I dread loosing it, but Im afraid a car seat is not going to work too well in this car. Car has amazing handling - I was told a while ago that the best way to find your cars slipping point is to go to a wide-open parking lot after a rain and try to spin it out. It took going 45 and JERKING the wheel to do it! The M3 has sneaky speed, like a slingshot. Once you get the RPMs up to around 4500, hold on. The Japanese vehicles may get you off the line, but theyre dust in the 1/4! Overall a fun car that Ill badly miss. BTW, this is also a much more practical car than it gets credit for. Go ahead, take the jump to M3.

  • Still like it better than the new M3 - 1999 BMW M3

    The car has been outstanding both as my daily driver and as a driver education car on track. The car has been retired as a daily driver and kept only as a fun/summer car.

  • The ultimate driving machine! - 1999 BMW M3
    By -

    The M3 convertable is an extraordinary car. It handels incredibally and has a beautifuly finished interior. BMW did not cut any curves when designing and making this car. This is not a light weight sports car. It sits powerfully on the road. Long distance/highway trips are a dream in this car. I have been amazed at how well it handels in the rain. The leather finishes are true quality. I have owned this car for 3 years and absolutely love it.

  • A legend in its own time. - 1999 BMW M3
    By -

    This car is simply amazing. Please go read the reviews by reputable car magazines and dont take my word for it. If you combine the following factors: Performance, Reliability, Practicality, Durability, Safety, Value....you simply cannot beat this car. HANDS DOWN a winner in all regards. Few cars this good have ever been or will be built in automotive history. CAR AND DRIVER BEST HANDLING CAR REGARDLESS OF PRICE in the 90s beating out Ferrari, Porsche and the like. Plus you can throw your kids and some grocery bags in the back.

  • Exceeds the Hype! - 1999 BMW M3

    The M3 is perhaps the best car ever built for all around performance, handling, acceleration, braking, feel and oh so many other areas. Sure, the engine could use some more power, but it wasnt designed to be the best from 0-60. This is a super powered go cart that is meant to out perform on an auto cross track. Anyone can go straight and fast.. this one is designed to twist your insides around with tight cornering and give you a strain in your neck when accelerating out of a corner. As far as stupid comments about poor winter performance, I say "DUH!"

  • great fun car - 1999 BMW M3
    By -

    This car has been the most fun of any car I have ever owned. The performance is perfect, handling, accelleration and braking are unreal. The car is very comfortable, and does not look like a barely restrained racing car. The top never leaks. You can hold a conversation at 85 with the top down.

  • 99 M3 Coupe - 1999 BMW M3

    The car is simply amazing. My first BMW. A joy to drive everyday to work. I have put on 13K miles since I bought it and I only drive 25 miles per day to work and back. Seems like I find reasons to go somewhere - not sure why, hmm.

  • M3 Convertible - 1999 BMW M3
    By -

    When it comes to open top motoring the M3 Convertible tackles all you can throw at it. Weather it be performance, design, ergonomics you name it she does it. I cant help but smile when I drive this car. Ive driven many exotics, but my choice is the M3 Convertible.

  • First BMW - 1999 BMW M3
    By -

    Really like my M3 coupe. Its by far the sexiest car I found while shopping last year for a high-quality used sports sedan, and I got a really good car. I hated the purchasing process though, DO NOT go to BMW of Arlington if you can avoid.
