  Dream Time - 1999 BMW M3
  By Nomaad - January 25 - 10:42 pm

  After about 5 years of driving a 94 325i, I scored a 99 M3, black on black and its the best thing Ive ever purchased in my life so far. I didnt think it could be this fun driving a car. Plus, its a manual, so the fun never ends. Cant wait to mod a bit, though I dont want to over-do it. Styling is classic. Simple beauty.

  Bought my 99 M3 Convertible 5 years ago (w/25k mi) and still in love went thru Camaro, Mustang, Vette, Jag then decade w/3 Porsches. Yes the German rides all demand high maint. costs but "Ultimate Driving Machine" is correct for this M3. Nothing is more agile thru turns, its extremely fast off the line and 2-lane road passing is effortless with breathtaking torque and speed available from 55-90 in a nanosecond. The braking capability is far more pure & sure than any other car Ive owned. Top up driving is as quiet as a coupe, and unlike many convertibles, top down is a total joy, not punishing. 2 adults can be comfortable in the backseat for an hour or more. Best all around!

  Best deal to be had! - 1999 BMW M3
  By V - March 15 - 9:39 pm

  The car is excellent all around. With this bmw, you get it all - style, performance, luxury, and BMW prestige. You can drive in all types of weather, including snow with snow tires, without any problems (except that youll find yourself wanting to garage it in the winter!). I drive my m3 hard, and it has always performed flawlessly. I am impressed with all of its performance characterics. Dont let small HP and torque number fool you - the germans really know how to put the power onto the pavement with this car. The trunk is plenty big, the back seats could be bigger. Reliability has been excellent with proper maintenance.

  Still smiling two years later - 1999 BMW M3
  By zupchuck - June 7 - 9:48 pm

  I bought my 99 M3 coupe used with 22k miles in 2004. It has been very reliable. Its exceptionally fun to drive. I love taking it on long trips, it is that comfortable. Proper snow tires make this a competant winter car (with ASC of course). Braking is awesome and properly matched to a vehicle capable of traveling so fast, so easily. This car brings smiles to my face every time I drive it. The cockpit is the best Ive experienced. It is not cheap to maintain, parts will cost you. Find a good BWM mechanic and avoid the dealerships. I hope I can keep this car for many years. If now has 43k miles two years later.

  Good Start - 1999 BMW M3
  By BRB - June 3 - 8:41 pm

  This was my dream car for a long time and I finally got one. It had 46,000 miles on it and seemed to be in great condition. For the first 5k miles I added coilovers which made the handling absolutely amazing. Engine is giving me some trouble now, even after always changing the oil and such mantience I get an annoying whine at 2900 rpm. I cant wait to get my next one and have the money to fix any little problem as it arises. Lots of little electric problems as well.

  BMW M3 Still Impresses - 1999 BMW M3
  By Brandon - November 9 - 3:09 pm

  I am 24 and was on the hunt for my first car, I really wanted an s4, but couldnt find the right price. I test drove the M3, and fell in love. Bought on the spot. The car has been a champ. Pulls off the line like a bat out of hell. The gearbox is smooth and crisp. Brakes are not bad. Sound system is ok, but could be better. Oil changes need to be performed frequently. The car is a lot of fun to drive. You find people want to race you all the time, S4 especially! In the winter get snow tires or store it.

  The Ultimate Driving Machine - 1999 BMW M3
  By David Zahriya - July 19 - 11:33 pm

  This cars is a gem! It handles really well at high speeds and has a lot of power for its size. I love the color of this car. Its Titanium Silver with a dove grey interior, best color combo ever. I added 19x8.5 wheels with really low profile tires. Took some comfort away but its worth it. This is the funnest car to drive and its extreamly reliable. Its has a more elegant design then its younger brother the e46 m3.

  Great fun - 1999 BMW M3
  By GCM - April 20 - 12:59 pm

  Really fun to drive. This is the 7th BMW I have had. This one is a big improvement over the last 3 series convertile. Back seats are just for small people, but you dont have this as a people hauler.
