"The new M3 is very advanced and insanely fast. You can really feel the road when you drive it, just like a BMW should be. Great value, great looks, performance off the charts, etc, etc.. One downside is the lack of a spare tire. Do yourself a favor and get a mini-spare and jack for an emergency and just keep it in the car on longer trips like I do. Another downside is the lack of trunk room, but who cares, that's not what you're buying the car for."

Pros: "Fun to Drive"

Cons: "Seats aren't good for cross country drives"

"The BMW M3 is one of the best cars I have ever driving. Its perfectly balanced all the time and feels light and nimble. The only car that can put it to shame really is the CTS-V with its huge engine and magnetic shocks. However that car doesn't have the same agile feel of the BMW M3. The M3 begs you to drive harder and makes you feel like a better driver then you probably are."

"I have had Ms cars before and by far this is the best major break though in surpassing previous M3 build. Performance in right along $100k cars for far less money. Its exciting breath taking to drive, never boring, for both daily and touring drives."

Pros: "EVERYTHING!!!"

Cons: "Brighter headlights needed, wish it had the new HUD option the new M5 has."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Talk about your trouble free cars...this is certainly one of them. I don't abuse it, never raced it, but have been to the Nurburgring with it and spent some time at high speeds on the autobahns in and out of Stuttgart. Haven't had a single issue with it. Gripes: hmmmm, I have to think about this...wish the headlights could be a little brighter (which their fixing on the new 3-series), wish I had a HUD option, that would be cool too. Meh, nothing much to NOT like here. Love it, love it, love it....BMW will top this but I hope they do it right, meaning, I hope the new M3/4 will not lose it's racing heritage and most importantly, lose its dominance over its competition (Audi's RS5, MB C63 AMG Coupe). Keep up the good work! As far as my E92...it has a permanent spot in my garage. :)"
