  Exceeded high expectations - 2005 BMW M3
  By Ryan - July 12 - 8:30 pm

  This is was my dream car in every respect - looks, performance, etc. I had high expectations when I bought it, but after 4k miles, let me tell you that this car is a dream. When you turn off the DSC, turn on launch mode, turn on sport mode, set SMG shifting to S6, hold on! Wow! If a car could ever be too much fun this is it - it definitely takes a huge amount of self discipline to keep this thing legal.

  Highly recommend - 2005 BMW M3
  By Jazzman - July 9 - 3:14 am

  If you looking for a high performance, drop top, with utility, luxury and 4 seats this is the car. Its drinks gas of course but its a high performance sports car what do you expect. You feel the bumps around town but its tuned to corner like a demon and it delivers. The fit and finish are suberb not one flaw could I find. Its fasts, loves to rev and corners like its on rails. The top is a masterpiece. One button and its up or down in 22 seconds. The top neatly stores in a hard cover area behind the seats. Make sure you also get the wind screen. Its an accessory the dealer can order for you but its something you want on those chilly nights. It cuts about 80 percent of the wind.

  Another Winner - 2005 BMW M3
  By Mike - July 6 - 12:46 am

  This is my 7th BMW, and by far the best overall. The M3 has it all -- looks, handling, acceleration, and a connection with the driver that no other car in its price range can match. I would recommend this car to anyone who wants it all.

  Great car. Best buy in 50k range - 2005 BMW M3
  By Zak - June 26 - 1:25 pm

  This car is a daily driver for me. every day I look foward to driving it. People complain that powerseats are an option, however, I think that it is an effective way to save money because im the only driver and it never needs to move.

  I love it ...BUT... - 2005 BMW M3
  By red - June 8 - 4:11 pm

  Looks great drives like a dream. BUT Ive had too many "quality" issues. The first was stalling when it had less than 500 miles. Turned out to be a computer fault. Next the rear lights started getting water inside after a rain - dealer had the car for three days to replace rear light components. NEXT - the passenger side door handle came off completly - the dealer said its because its hand assembled! - What a joke. Just this week it started stalling again at idle. I had some reservations buying the car when I looked at the JDP reliability survey and now I think Ill keep it about a year and then get a Corvette.

  Jet Black/Imola Red Convertable - 2005 BMW M3
  By Bannerzap - May 17 - 9:15 pm

  Awesome! We just picked it up last week and it is better than expected. Traded an 04 Z4 3.0 and the new M3 just smokes it! Great car, performance overload, and BMW quality and service.

  Speed is your Friend - 2005 BMW M3
  By Merlin - May 13 - 1:17 pm

  This car has surpassed all my expectations. It is quick, agile, nimble, powerful. It will surpass any challenges the streets of the US have to offer while beating most other cars on the road, but the M3 does it with confidence and a breath taking design that everyone compliments.

  An amazing vehicle - 2005 BMW M3
  By M3HDC - May 12 - 2:35 pm

  Exotic car performance from the inline 6, sophisticated interior design and comfort, and sharp, intelligent lines and curb appeal, make the M3 one of the best cars out there in any price range.

  2005 M3 with Competition Package - 2005 BMW M3
  By Meredith - May 1 - 7:15 pm

  This car has impressed me in every detail and option. I ordered it basically fully loaded, and I am thrilled with the Competition Package. The only setback I have to the CP is the removal of Cruise Control due to the special steering wheel. However, the car handles extremely well, and has very fast acceleration, so who needs cruise control anyway. The seats and interior are perfectly designed, and the exterior is remarkably sharp. Definitely a head turner!
