    Never been more happy with a car. I love it!!!

  • M3 First year ownership - 2004 BMW M3

    Flawless performance, very reliable. Winters requires special tires, Dunlop wintersportM2/M3 are great. Car has a very stiff supension You will not like it on Midwestern roads, but on good pavement its flawless. Car needs a different muffler system It has a raspy sound under full throttle, could use the M5 unit. Nothing has gone wrong with car up to now. Recommend a careful break-in period Many have ignored this and found out that it can result in problems at high RPMS.If you need something to motivate you and puts a smile on your face every day this car is it. Fear no challenges from anything on the road, the M3 will never dissapoint!

    Shear fun to drive. Cant beat a rag- top in the summer and its not too loud with the top up any other time of year. Definitely get the 19" wheels for grip! I bought 18" radials for winter and drive it all year round without much problem but I have the most fun with the "summer" tires. I get thumbs-up and stares everywhere I go and the car isnt really rare to see. The back seat is actually usable and I drive the kids to school often. I have owned 6 BMWs (4 different models) and this is the most fun of all!

    Great car. Also owned 1998 bmw m3. This one is much better. SMG is also a great option. 19 inch wheels are also great but changing tires are costly.

  • TOPLESS M3 IS FUN!!! - 2004 BMW M3

    I have had the 02 M3 cabroilet for just about a year. I traded a Porsche Boxter S. This is a far superior car - No contest. It is abetter & less expensive 911 cabroilet with more room, the same or better performance and SMG, which Porsche does not even offer. I have the 19" wheels but would get the 18" wheels if I had it to do over for the ride.

  • BMW M-3 - 2004 BMW M3

    I traded in a 2000 BMW 328ci and even though this is an expensive car it is well worth it. Its resale value is better,handling is better, performance is much superior and there are very few around. It is more demanding to drive around the city but give the driver some serious grins when it is allowed to stretch its legs. Life is short, why not get something exotic that has value.

  • Does it get any better than this? - 2004 BMW M3
    By -

    This has been my dream car for the last 10 years. After ordering my 2003.5, Im happy to say its even better than I hoped for. Its just an amazing piece of engineering that excites you just looking at in the garage. On the road, it absolutely blows your mind!

  • M Power yourself !!!!!!!! - 2004 BMW M3
    By -

    Excellent car!!! The handling at high speeds on curves is THE BEST of any car I have driven to date. If you get the hardtop option like I did, you will have a car that is a coupe, convertible, and sports car, all in one!!! I love the SMG transmission, it allows you to drive in either automatic or manual modes (the manual mode is much more fun). The fuel economy isnt all that bad. If you drive it carefully on the highway, you can get a little more than 24 mpg, not too bad for a sports car. I wish it had a bigger fuel tank because I dont like filling it up too many times, but oh well the driving experience more than makes up for this.

  • BMW M3 Convertible-1 year later - 2004 BMW M3
    By -

    I have now had my convertible m3 for 1 year and enyoyed it tremendously. The summer was spectacular and the winter was definately enjoyable with winter tires.

  • Exotic Car? - 2004 BMW M3
    By -

    With 333 HP, the BMW M3 owns the stage. The beautiful SMG(Sequential Manual Gearbox) helped alot,cus when I drive up the mountain roads, I dont have to worry about stepping on the clutch, in other words the SMG makes the Gear-up like automatic, but you could juice up the power like Stake-Shift. It is a very nice and romantic car to drive on,especially passing by mountain sides. The only downs of this car is the fuel economy, if it could be like a camrys fuel economy then that would be great. But who gives, the car is alreay great enough to let you forget about the fuel economy. I recommend this car to those who wants to have a blast of their lifetime.
