Overview & Reviews
An optional sequential manual gearbox makes its way into the 2002 BMW M3, which allows the driver to shift with almost instantaneous precision without a clutch. A CD player becomes standard, the automatic climate control has been revised and rear-seat side airbags are optional for both the coupe and convertible.
- Astonishing performance, prodigious thrust, truly a bargain compared to its competition.
- Difficult ingress/egress, ride can be rough around town.

Parked my M3 Convertible - 2002 BMW M3
By 4ocious - December 6 - 2:00 amI have permanently parked my 2002 E46 convertible with only 9100 miles on it. I plan to sell it ASAP in the Spring. This car has never lived up to its hype. There are a lot of cars out there (ZO6, E55 AMG) that give you better performance, handling, and that good ole kick in the pants kind of feeling. I dont think Ill buy another BMW.

SMG--dont buy it - 2002 BMW M3
By LK - November 6 - 2:00 amBMWs SMG transmission is not ready for prime time. When it works, its great fun. Unfortunately, it doesnt like to go into gear when its cold, cannot be worked by garage attendants, and has died suddenly (resulting in a tow)while cruising. Software upgrade to the computer made the situation worse. BMW has been disappointing in their response.
