2003 BMW M3

Pros: Super responsive, powerful, & fast. SMG. Refined & relaxed when you want it to be.

Cons: Ride can be a bit harsh to those not used to driving real sportscars.

The Bottom Line: Some small squeaking and electronic issues aside, this car has been a joy to own. I look forward to driving it everyday. Great looks, handling, performance, and technology.

Review: INTRODUCTION I purchased this vehicle in August of 2003 and have owned it for 1 year and 7 months now with around 13K miles on it. I held off on getting one because of the engine problems BMW was having on the M3s. Then BMW claimed to have fixed the ...

Pros: Fast. Sexy. Pinnacle of German styling and engineering. Bargain compared the AMG. Reliabilty.

Cons: SMG. Interior trim. Navigation and "premium" sound system. Stiff suspension. City fuel economy. Dealer markup.

The Bottom Line: Hands down the best sports convertible for under $100K. The next step up is a Mercedes SL - more prestige, but it's debatable whether you really get more car...

Review: I could go on and on about how this is a great muscle car, a chic-magnet with beautiful looks, but anyone who is considering this car probably knows all of that by now. Instead I think it would be much more helpful to point out some of the aspects that ...

Pros: Safety, race engine, high-limits handling, track capabilities, seats 4, cargo space, sport interior with luxury

Cons: Curb weight, questions on long-term reliability of drivetrain, 1-2 shift difficult to master, heavy clutch

The Bottom Line: If you want speed and practicality, look no further than the E46 BMW M3

Review: Introduction I've had my car for 1.5 years now so this is a good time to give an epinion on the longevity of the car for the used or CPO car buyers. I own a 2003.5 M3 with a build date of June 2003. If you are looking at 2003 M3's, 2003.5 is ...

Pros: Safety is OUTSTANDING Comfort is good Quiet as a mouse

Cons: THE PRICE!!!!

The Bottom Line: Anyone who likes sport's cars buy this you will enjoy driveing it.

Review: I paid £43,880 for my BMW M3 Convertible running on petrol, which when i got it was actually brand new, ever since i have not wanted to buy another convertible, reason being is that i find that this car has all the toys i ever wanted.The Toys were ...

Pros: Driving experience unmatched - very tight. Fit and finish superb!

Cons: Not many. Slightly expensive, if you compare it to other domestic cars.

The Bottom Line: Would highly recommend BMW if you love to drive. Wished we would have gotten a stick.

Review: After being a loyal GM consumer for years, I broke down last year and bought my 1st foreign car. I must say, should have done it sooner. I bought my wife a used fully loaded 330i 4 door coupe (premium sound system and sports package). We found a ...

Pros: Excellent handling, well sculpted body, and all around beautiful car.

Cons: this car is what the police watch out for.

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended because of its positive handling and relaxed interior for the ultimate driving experience

Review: First of all I would like to note that despite the title, it is a 2003 BMW M3, I could not choose the proper year from the list. But on with the review...if you have a good 50 grand to spend on a car I would highly recommend this car. I have only owned...

Pros: Great handling, quick, great interior

Cons: poor gas mileage

The Bottom Line: This is a great car, it has virtually everything you could want- looks, comfort, speed, and great handling.

Review: WOW. This car is amazing. I first went on a test drive and I had to buy it. I took European Delivery (that's why it was only $65K) and drove it on the infamous autobahn. I wish we had freeways like that here in the US. Besides that, this car is perfectly...

Pros: Exhilirating performance, Taut handling - even the Cabriolet. SMG Tranny is HOT!!

Cons: Weak on creature comforts like garage door opener. Harmon Kardon Stereo weak also.

The Bottom Line: Just test drive the car with the SMG transmission. You will feel like Michael Shumacher behind the wheel. Subtle styling hides the great performance too which is fun in itself.

Review: Thinly disguised racing machine is a perfect description of this stealthy rocket ship. The SMG transmission is incredible - I want to put on a helmet when I get in the car for weekend fun. The car is solid as a rock which is rare in a cabriolet. The...

Pros: Performance in extreme corners, safety, luxury, comfort...

Cons: very expensive to modify, sound system is not really impressive.

Review: * Sexy... very attractive!!! * Catching to the eye... * If you have the extra $7.5k, i extremely recommend the SMG and the compettition package!!! for that kind of price, it's really cheap and worth it!!! * Speechless on corners but i'm really not ...

Pros: Performance rivals that of cars much more expensive.

Cons: I can't afford to own 2 of them.

Review: Its a well known fact that performance is job one for the M3, and it never dissapoints in that arena. I frequently take advantage of the opportunity to get it over 165MPH (appx. 170mph before the speed limiter kicks in) on the autobahn. Trust me, this ...
