OWNERS

The M3 combines an incredible dose of acceleration and handling in a package that is both practical and tastefully luxurious. The car has a bank vault feel to it. The fender flares and the exhaust quartet are true indicators of what's underneath.

You can really wring this thing out in the turns and it just hangs on for you. It's not as tail-happy as you might expect. Inside the cabin, the exhaust note is such a pleasure to listen to, half the time I just turn off the stereo because the music coming out of the four tailpipes is more entertaining.

I live in germany, in hilly, twisTy road country, not too far from an autobahn. The M3 is everything I've dreamed of and more. I knew it was something special when after dinner on the night of its delivery, I came out of the restaurant and found a well-to-do German family standing around the car. They didn't move until after I drove away.

I've already been to the Nurburgring a couple of times for a little fantasy drive around the beautiful old circuit. I don't believe that there is another car in existence that could bring me more pleasure over here in these driving situations. I feel sorry for people who own this car in other parts of the world who won't get the opportunity to see what this work of art can do. Plus, I have 10 more horses than my fellow countrymen on the other side of the pond.
