Overview & Reviews

BMW further expands the M3 lineup by adding a four-seat convertible version for enthusiasts who crave open-air motoring. Like the M3 sedan, the convertible is available with either a manual or automatic transmission. Napa leather upholstery and a rollover protection system are standard. All M3s get standard side airbags this year.

• The 1998 BMW M3 is one of our all-time favorite cars. Carves turns faster than your dad carves Thanksgiving turkey.

• Price is a bit steep. Interior is a bit cramped.

  M3 4dr Std - 1998 BMW M3

  Outstanding handling and braking abilities. I prefer the E36 interior and exterior styling to the E46 series. The only way to learn the potenial of this car is to drive it on the track. Spend a weekend getting instruction in the car with the BMWCCA. After that youll really appreciate what the M3 is all about.

  By Roadwarrior1956 - September 4 - 2:00 am

  Just bought it used 6 mths ago and love this car, I own a 94 Z28 also and cant believe how close on power they are. The M3 is like a surgens scapel, the Z28 a battle ax :)

  M3 rocks. - 1998 BMW M3
  By arcanadana - August 28 - 2:00 am

  This is the best car Ive ever had. Its incredible well balance and poise makes it hard to scare yourself, even in spirited sport driving. Its great around town, and especially in sedan form, its a sleeper. Unless someone knows what an M3 is, it looks almost exactly like a 328. I got the sedan version because Im tall and it has an extra inch and a half of headroom, which makes it enough for me. How many other sports cars do I fit in this well? Zero. Ive had quicker cars, but its quick enough, and the handling will keep pace with ANYTHING. Its my everyday e-ticket ride.

  The car is a perfect balance of power, handling, fit, function and finish. My wife has an audi A6 which I will admit offers a smoother ride but does not compare regarding feedback from the road. At times I feel as though Im one with the road...feeling the slightest ripples in the pavement, smallest deviations in the tarmack, every grain of sand..etc. It gives the driver a sensation similar to that of driving a go-cart (light in weight, very responsive). When all is said and done my "silver bullet" is just plain fun to drive....

  The funnest car Ive ever driven - 1998 BMW M3
  By Larry Sorche - January 26 - 2:00 am

  This was definitely the best sports car to drive for the money. Cant get a new one because theyre out of my price reach. Performance was awesome!...turned corners at 40+ with no fishtail and it could stop on a dime. Wasnt the fastest off the line but I could keep up with the vets and beat most 6 bangers. Aftermarket stuff can make this a beast. Repair cost are outrageous, but that has been sporadic.
