Overview & Reviews

For the 2003 BMW M3, BMW will offer a DVD-based navigation system -- meaning that you won't have to give up an in-dash CD player if you opt for the nav system. Additionally, automatic headlights and rain-sensing wipers are now standard, while aluminum interior trim is a new stand-alone option. The power seat package has been excised from the coupe's option list, so you'll have to spring for the pricey premium package if you want power front seats (these come standard on the convertible).

• Remarkable engine, race-carlike handling, killer good looks, sumptuous interior, available Sequential Manual Gearbox.

• Uninspired exhaust whine, having to pay extra for basics like power seats and an alarm system.

  Fun Fast Exciting...its an M3 - 2003 BMW M3
  By JTL - September 9 - 2:00 am

  I personally am new to the BMW world as Ive only owned a 2001 BMW 330CI and recently purchased a 2003 BMW M3 Coupe. I was impressed with the performance, handling, and look of the car. The car is amazing and looks fantastic!! The only option I wish the M3 would offer is Heads up display to help keep my eyes on the road rather than on my speedometer.

  E46 M3 is a superior car - 2003 BMW M3
  By JetBlackE46M3 - September 3 - 2:00 am

  This is my second M3, but the first of this (E46) generation. I am absolutely stunned and impressed with the level of performance that has been drawn from this exceptional 3.2 litre inline 6 engine. I thought my old 97 M3 with 240HP felt quick, well this thing is unreal. You can outrun 911s and most of the muscle car crowd and look better doing it. Handles amazingly well, rides smoother than expected (even with my 19" wheels) and is an all around wonderful car. I would change very little about it except maybe make the interior a little more "Mercedes like" I guess.

  Wish I had a Vette - 2003 BMW M3
  By GirlOutOfControl - August 29 - 2:00 am

  I have driven too many sports cars to list. As for the M3, I agree with the guy who wrote in about the Corvette. If the vette had a back seat for my son, then, I would own the "Ultimate Driving Machine". I believe there is too much hype over a car that pales in comparison to the vette overall and watch your fuel consumption...the 8-cylinder Vette has them beat there too! Dont get me wrong I do love the M3, because it offers safety, room for 4 passengers and sleek looks, but cmon, it certainly is NOT "scarry" as one critic wrote in.

  Outrageous - 2003 BMW M3
  By CCB - August 26 - 2:00 am

  Its been a year now, I a still get surprised by the power this little in- line six puts out. My wife still wont drive the car due to the tight handling and head jerking snaps between gears. Ive had it up to 135 for about 30 minutes across the Mohave desert (in train with a TT and A8) and fely I could have out accelerated them at any moment. Yeah, the price tag with the SMG tranny is high, but my kids will understand that Junior College is OK, once they get there.

  Greased Lightning and Roaring Thunder! - 2003 BMW M3
  By derek33 - August 23 - 2:00 am

  The BMW M3 is a vehicle unlike any other. It combines the power and handling of a Porsche or Ferrari, with the luxury and comfort of a Mercedes. Its ride is firm and responsive. Formula 1 level performance, all for only $50,000!! This car is truly the best car Ive ever driven...I can only imagine what the BMW engineers will create for the 2006 model.

  Spectacular - 2003 BMW M3
  By Speedi - August 17 - 2:00 am

  This is my first BMW, and I have to admit it has been a long time coming. I have been desiring an M3 for about 15 years and have finally gathered the coinage for the purchase. When I picked up the car, there was not one flaw I could see. This is the best built and sportiest car I have ever driven or seen. I even get 26 MPG with this high-performance automobile! Truly amazing.
