Overview & Reviews

A boost in engine displacement and technology, plus an available all-wheel-drive system keeps the 2001 BMW M3 at the top of its game in the competitive entry-level luxury market. Larger wheels and brakes are part of the engine upgrade. Two-stage front airbags, reduced steering effort, a Cold Weather package and Dynamic Brake Control round out the major changes for 2001.

• Astonishing performance, prodigious thrust, truly a bargain compared to its competition.

• Difficult ingress/egress, no CD player as standard equipment.

  BMW e46 M3, Porsche performance for less - 2001 BMW M3
  By M3twm - January 31 - 2:00 am

  An 02/2001 production car which quite simply is the best car owned in the past 35 years. Easily out performs all 5 911 Porsches to date with the last being a 1992 coupe. Much more practical than a Porsche and $20-25,000 less expensive. Porsche performance with seating for 4 WITH luggage. Easily worth every penny.

  My Faviorite BMW So Far - 2001 BMW M3
  By redhat - October 27 - 1:00 am

  This is my third BMW, I had two BMW Z3s prior to this car. Those were fun and sporty, but they did not offer the thrill of taking corners at speeds with such ease. This is probably the best mix of power, performance, and luxury available in any vehicle.

  My Dream Car-The Ultimate M3 Convertible - 2001 BMW M3
  By dreamtoys - August 2 - 2:00 am

  This is my dream car for many years. I have heard so much about the M3 in the past. Then the new 2001 M3 with 333 hp. came to this shore. I went and order two of them- one couple and one convertibe. I took the first available convertible in Imola red. I love the red, black, black combination. The other standard colors like silver, white, blue etc. are too common. It is as fast as a Porsche 911. Better than Boxter S which has less horse power, speed and handling features. Ferrari has a reason to paint most of their cars red!

  No wonder theres a waiting list.... - 2001 BMW M3
  By ttocsffej - March 20 - 2:00 am

  Everything youve read is true! BMWs E46 M3 is really a race car in street clothes. From the moment you fire it up, you know it is not your normal E46 coupe. My delivery experience at the BMW Performance Center was totally first rate! Its free and you should go if you can. Driving (their) M3 on the track gave me first hand experience of this cars true capabilities, which Im sad to say will probably always exceed mine as a driver. Get one!
