Pros: Handling, performance, features
Cons: Not a lot of extra room
I am the proud owner of a 1998 328 convertible. My mid-life crisis car, so to speak, and so much more practical than a Viper. I bought it because: it's a great car in its own right, is a no-compromise convertible, and it fits in the garage even with a...

Pros: Speed, Features, Style, Brakes, Sound System
Cons: A ticket waiting to happen and little tight in back
It all started after a visit to Chicago and I drove a buddy’s 99’ M3 coupe around for a day. I had never had a driving experience like it before. The car looked incredible and would get-up-and-go faster than anything I had previously driven. Obviously...

Pros: it's perfect!
Cons: pricey for many, but well worth it!
I was in the market for a convertible, and after driving many competitors, this beauty blew everything away! I even liked this car much much more that the Mercedes CLK Convertible! Not only is this car very stylish, it is packed with power and...

Pros: Can Drive Really Fast, Excellent Handling, Many Functions,Just Plain Out Fun Car
Cons: Drives REALLY Fast(Speeding Tickets), Small leg space in back.
The BMW M3 Series is just spectacular. This car can almost maneuver any turns or obsticles while going at top speed of much more than 150!!!! Of course, it is never legal to drive that fast on the road but this can is designed to. It was...

Pros: Very comfortable to drive/ Excelent Performance

The BMW M3 has a very sporty appearance to it, yet it is also a very luxurious car. The reason I first bought the M3 is for the performance and the comfort of the ride. The performance is spectacular, and the ride is very smooth, comfortable, and...

Pros: speed, handling
Cons: airbag recall, easily broken fog lights
I purchased an M3 last year after going to the BMW dealer to test drive a 328is. No, I was not pressured into buying the M3 -- in fact, where I live, BMW dealers have such great demand for the M series cars that they couldn't care less whether you buy...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Build quality, reliability, fuel economy, super fast performance and tight nimble handling.
Cons: Some parts expensive-some cheap. BMW parts on the web cheaper than local dealers.
The Bottom Line: It will be the best car you ever had. I would definitely encourage one to get a 3 series BMW.
I bought a used 1998 BMW 328i sedan with a 5 speed manual transmission to replace my 1989 Chevy Caprice. It was the first BMW I ever bought. I had been in the market for a newer car for a long time, and decided that if I was going to get something, that ...

Pros: outstanding acceleration/handling plus room for luggage and friends.
Cons: annoying brake squeaks, dash rattles and overpriced stereo.
With just a perfunctory glance, you might think that this is just another 3 series coupe/sedan but those who know, KNOW! This car is nearly totally balanced in hp/torque and weight distribution and to drive it is a pleasure for four out of the five...

Pros: Great all around car.
Cons: The price.
This is one mean driving machine. The BMW M3 is an excellent all around car. When I bought this car in '98 I was amazed. This car handles great in all road conditions, and it is as quiet as a mouse. It has excellent acceleration, and one tank of...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: A beast that can be a docile daily driver. The leather. Free service and maintenance for 3 years.
Cons: Millions of similarly-shaped buttons on the console. Delicate (but beautiful) wheels.
It will last much longer, anyway. Everything that's written about the M3 as a driver's car is true. Hold on to your gum and warn your passengers when you stand on the brakes! A sweet 240Hp straight-6 that has the most broad, flat torque curve my butt...

Cons: Taller drivers (6'4" +) might have trouble fitting.
I am a BMW "guru" of sorts. I have followed BMW for many years now, and the new M3 is the best it's ever been. It's handling and responsiveness greatly surprised me. It is very comfortable and surprisingly roomy. It shifts smoothly from a...

Pros: Beautiful design, fast, sleek, sounds good, customizable
Cons: Hard to reach steering wheel, doesn't telescope out
When I got my first drive in an M3 back in early of 1998 I knew that this car right here is the one and only car that everyone in the world should own. Talk about the perfect mix of acceleration, suspension, power, and steering all in one very sleek and...

The Bottom Line: A well-built, lovely machine.
The 328 Convertible is the most remarkable vehicle I've had the pleasure of driving. It looks great, feels solid, handles beautifully and accelerates smoothly and rapidly. I am the original owner of this car and have experienced no significant mechanical...

Pros: Amazing driving experience. Nothing further need be said...
Cons: Backseat can be cramped when transporting 4 fullsize adults.
The Bottom Line: Theres a reson this car has more awards and accolades than any of its competitors...drive one and you'll see why!
The BMW 3 series has been for years the universally accepted benchmark by which other sports sedans are measured. Similarly the BMW M series has always been regarded as the ultimate performance machine. So what happened when BMW combined the 3 series ...
