Favorite feature: |
The engine (and constantly being surprised by discovering pleasant amenities) |
Least favorite feature: |
Initially the exhaust note was too shrill, but it grew on me and now I like it. |
Advice to buyer: |
Negotiate a good price -- there are plenty of them out there now. |
Detailed review: |
BMW did everything right with this vehicle. My M3 corners like it's got Audi's quattro AWD, accelerates just as well as a Porsche 911, looks classy, and has room for four. Despite not getting a 100 for comfort, it's still very comfortable on road trips or in the city, and more comfortable than any other sports car I've driven. The 19' wheels look incredible and provide great cornering, but the ride might be too jarring for some. Get the 18s if you want a softer ride. Unlike in most cars with a sport button, this one really does make a difference. Some complain about the HK sounds system, but I think it sounds good. If you can afford it and you like to rev the engine to get your power (unlike in a larger displacement V-8), get this vehicle. It has, no kidding, supercar performance with practicality. |
