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.

  Love It! - 2001 BMW M3
  By Dane - May 3 - 7:37 pm

  Where to start, picked this puppy up from my friends dealership, thought it was too good to be true. I drool every time I get to drive to and from work, thats the best part of my day. I love having a car with 330 hp that gets 30 mpg at 75 mph. The styling is fantastic. I cant wait to buy a used 07 M3 with the V8. BMW owner for life!

  If it had wings, it would fly - 2001 BMW M3
  By 03055gi - May 18 - 12:21 pm

  Picked up this car in Fort Lauderdale and drove back to New Hampshire. What a rush. Have had many cars and this is the best by far. Look forward to driving like never before. Had a number of people pull up to me on the highway and want to play and felt no urge to embarrass them, just kept driving with the top down and the tunes playing.

  How can they improve on this?! - 2001 BMW M3
  By Mario Andretti - August 7 - 11:51 pm

  The year I had to wait after ordering this car was well worth it. After 4 years I still absolutely love my M3. This is the best car Ive ever driven. I only hope BMW doesnt ruin the M3 when they finally update to match the new 3 series body style.

  Best car Ive owned, Period !!!!!! - 2001 BMW M3
  By YoQueroTacoBell - May 9 - 2:16 pm

  It was like falling in love at first sight. I owned a 1998 M3 coupe, tell ya what, the 6th gear really does the job plus the telescoping wheel is a big plus. I love to street race, and there is not much out there that could match my M3... In addition to all the power and luxury, I get a lot of head turning each time I drive it. I love it !!! I will keep this car forever and pass the torch over to my son when I no longer can drive it. The Navigation and the park distance control work excellent.

  Great Car, a Little More Quality Control - 2001 BMW M3
  By Topher84 - September 26 - 2:00 am

  Great car, but the sophistication of the OBDII (Computer) makes for alot of trouble with failed sensors. Also, got a bum transmission... BMW is standing behind all of this, I am just tired of taking it to the shop (once every other month!)

  Incredible - 2001 BMW M3
  By docherf - July 12 - 2:00 am

  This is all it is said to be by the car mags and more. Its a blast to drive - its fun even on short drives to work. The space is practicle for kids in the back - and they love to be in it with the top down. Quality is first rate - Im surprised that even after three years, there are no rattles or squeaks - it is as tightly put together as the first day. There are not any drawbacks as far as Im concerned - except I wish BMW made something the size of a Suburban for the family car.

  Awesome BMW - 2001 BMW M3
  By neuron25 - November 28 - 2:00 am

  I have owned BMWs and other sports cars before before but this is the most awesome car I have ever driven. The handling is excellent. The noise of the soft top is almost non existent (no small thing if you have ever had a convertible). If your if your children are 14 years old or less and your friends are small, you will hear no complaints from the back seat.

  EconoHunk - 2001 BMW M3
  By Coquin - March 11 - 2:00 am

  Performance bargain of the century--prodigious power, grip, braking. It makes my E36 M3 daily driver seem weak kneed and wobbly. And the exhaust note is Wagnerian. If a Ferrari 360 sounded like this car, it would sound better.
