This Year's Model Updates:

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).

Pros:
  • Remarkable engine, race-carlike handling, killer good looks, sumptuous interior, available Sequential Manual Gearbox.
Cons:
  • Uninspired exhaust whine, having to pay extra for basics like power seats and an alarm system.

  • This is a sport car - 2003 BMW M3

    The perfect car....if you drive on a track. I have the SMG transmission and really dont care for it much. It is very notchy and not very friendly for mundane daily driving. If you drive very aggressively all of the time, this could be the car for you. If you dont, I would suggest one of the other 3 series cars....Ive owned them as well and loved every minute of it.

    This car ROCKS.I cant believe someone actually traded one in for a vette. Anyway, This car goes like a jet, and looks like a million.Its not cheap, but when compared to other similar priced vechicles (Like Lexus SC430)it is no comparison. SMG is fun and easy,Beautiful interior etc. Whats not to love?

  • Quite possibly the perfect car - 2003 BMW M3

    Lets see. 50k, Supercar performance, seats 4 comfortably, looks like a million bucks, handles like a dream, usable trunk. It may seem difficult to associate this car w/ value, but I do. By the way I can not miss an opportunity to say that I replaced a Saab Viggen w/ this car, and that Saabs are absolute crap, there incredibly poor quality only surpassed by their invredibly incompatant dealer network and "cst service". Absolute junk. But the M3 is "The Car".

    After three months of waiting my M finally arrived and it didnt dissapoint. This is the most powerful vehicle I have ever driven, there is power in every gear and throughout the entire range of the tachometer. The response of the car is immediate and when pushed the car pins you to the drivers seat for an amazing ride. The interior is comfortable and supportive and the controls are functional and easy to decipher. In my opinion this is the most complete GT on the market.

    I have had the car for less than a week but I am amazed by its handling and acceleration.The SMG transmission is a nice option (my wife drives it as well) it offers automatic trans. convenience and F-1 style shifting depending on any number of things.It doesnt have the torque or top end of a Viper but it gets you going very fast very quickly.It is everything I want in a car and then some.
