Introduction~
Hi. It's must be obvious now I am an motoring fan so another motor review now! Motoring can be boring with the speed limits congestion charges parking restriction!? Living in England means there are plenty reason to go mad and to get even you need to get around much faster and easier and also comfortably than any other form of transport even public. It is even better if it free as well. A better way to travel around is not possible than the BMW M3. I have a brother who has the use for the past few months of such a car. I know you must be wondering why that and not another well thats due to the 330 ci he had previously being due for replacement and that was his third BMW after the 318i the 325i then the 330i.
The BMW M3 is a 2dr six cylinder machine the type that the German company is most famous for as a race car a production based race car. It is a expensive version of the most popular car they make and of the past few years the BMW 3 series is a machine that BMW has made in various versions for years all to great success. It has some interesting features like a full aero dynamic body and is at the most fasionable end of the new car market. The M3 is for the more experienced driver than for learner new to driving or even a commuter it is a good choice however it is for my brother and a good looking machine. I know when I looked at the M3 it was an excellent form of transport it is like a normal 3 series but with a 6 speed manual gearbox red leather seats sat-nav TV cd changer all as standard everything is included in the price .
~The Look~ -------------
It's has silver blue bodywork with black controls with black buttons on the dash board and blue display screen on the instrument panel. I liked that blue light at night especially I could see it very clearly. It's got many buttons air condition out side temperature gadge, speedo, revcounter etc.
The seat is a black with red inserts with the flexibility of extra features that is racing style with side support. It's also got locking fuel tank, 19" alloy wheels, radar locks, alarm, rear seat is in red leather.
~Performance~ -------------
As for the performance it is not going to be a concern for any. The performance comes in at 175 mph top speed seen on the speedo. Anyone can move it around traffic with ease. It could be pushed very easily if needed as performance is motorbike quick, it has a hefty six cylinder engine but has light power steering so moves well in traffic.~Price~ -------------
About the price it is not anything to be concerned about. Now it is readily available on the second hand market. Pricing is something very much dependent on different retailers but it possible to buy them less for a lot less than £40000. That is the price for a perfect like new one is it is quite possible to pay a lot less. Look on ebay or second hand dealers.
~Ease of Use~ -------------
It's has a very pleasent to use feel about it. That's a good point compared to some. It is easy to drive as it is light 6 speed synchronic gear change and plenty of power at a claimed 330hp this all means it is a very pleasent easy machine to use. It has a 4 stroke engine of 3200cc with plenty of power it really moves when pushed. It does not use much petrol at 15mpg it is good it will easily do 140mph. The motor is not even trying at 70 mph due to government laws. It has a claimed 330hp @ 7000 revolutions per minute flat out 175 mph is possible.
Another point is the acceleration it is fast and can 60 is 5 seconds and is comfortable for most people. It has a very large petrol tank. ~Consumable~ -------------
As it's highly economic to buy then that fact is it can be used with no problems all the time it has the most up to date technology. The brakes are excellent. The back tyres very wide and will be expensive to replace £700 was the cost, when it needs a service It is the scenario as it has a high watt motor with excellent brakes the tyres will be worn out quickly. I had done 19K miles the expense to only petrol and replacement parts of £700 20 mpg quite easily at legal speeds as it is a company car all expense is covered and non is spared.
~Durability~ -------------
It's made to be highly durable and I have tested this many times while driving it has no wear in nineteen thousand miles. Nothing much else has happened that is it is nothing re-markable.~Advantages~ -------------
It is a quality product and features are excellent for anyones needs a big double 'WOW' factor is the good performance and handling making it feel as if it is a machine that has a big big double 'WOW' factor. I can recommend the extra feature of a rear on the back seat that is comfortable for two people with ease. It is clear and that this machine is a bright addition to any drive way. To drive and rev it around town on the open road or motorway is a joy. So handy, so useful you can play with it as well as use it as a touring machine I am not at all able to complain about anything. It's is then highly durable and economic to use. I do know where it is made Germany so it is very good quality.
~Disadvantages~ -------------
As it does not have a restricted motor it is easy to be caught speeding and on camera 15 times, it has a huge petrol tank and giant tyres as well all cost a small fortune if it is used privately.
~Overall~ ------------- It is good for motorways or long distance driving as it does up to 175mph! Small and light it is ok if you are bigger than most and it will be not be at all uncomfortable
175 mph and 20mpg light and reliable a good product to be of interest to racers and those wanting a machine to go on long journeys. It is excellent at what it does and is recommended by me to all.
Advantages: Good motorsport feel Disadvantages: Pricey, can get stiff neck, driving at speed
...most wonderful sounds known to BMW kind !...no not the church organ...but this one vroom-VROOM !! (get it ?!) Once inside I noticed the usual BMW leather upholstery, a little chrome polish here and there, and seats that wrap round you like your mother, which was nice. The one I tested came with a manual gearbox, but if you can't work the 3rd pedal don't worry you can get an automatic equivalent. On the dash, there is also these little cool electronic ... ...door, the light instead of flashing on fades in, and when I closed the door it fades out...I felt like I had entered a little spaceship called Enterprise.

Now performance...when I put the pedal to the metal....I went 40, 50, 60-oh man ! this car does 0 to 60 in 4.8s, a quarter mile in 13.6s in 105 mph and picks up chicks in ...

Advantages: Speed, Decisive Handling and that M3 badge. Disadvantages: Possibly a tad expensive, some rattle.
...start it purrrrrs. The BMW M3, 2003 edition is, in my view, one of the best cars on the planet. Thse styling of the 333hp beast is, in case you havent seen it, brute like. It looks tough in its purpose of getting from A to B, with the possible max of speed, of course. Because 0-60 in 4.8 seconds is very very fast. If it's a question of speed the M3 would be the answer, and at a max of 140mph its a damm good anwser at that. Although don't take the ... ...BMW had to put a limiter on the car (because of stupid EU regulations), but with the hand of certain companies you can have the M3 delimeted for even more power. Not that you'll need it.
When revving the six-speed gearbox, which by the way is superb, you'll find even if your'e pushing ####### the pedal and turning, the car has great handling. This is important on a car with lots of power and is helped by the M3's differential locks and Stability ...

Advantages: Car is built for performance ! Disadvantages: looks are not that good.
I have had my E46 M3 for about a year now. My car is equipped with the Sequential Manual Gearbox. Coming from a Subaru WRX this car is a completely different experience. Before driving the M, I had always thought that most luxury sports cars are gimmicks. While I can't speak for AMGs or Audi's S line, the M is a gives the driver a very unique driving experience. The M3 can be two very different beasts. With a redline of ~8k, being below 4k RPMs can ... ...you punch the acellerater and the revs start screaming to 8k you truely feel the genius of this car. I am able to drive around town and on freeways either extremely comfortably or relatively fast, depending on my mood. Not feeling like trying to hard to go fast (somewhat ironic question, I know)? press the Sport button. This button makes the throttle response extremely sensitive and allows to build speed or take of the line quickly with ease. The ...

Advantages: So easy to drive well Disadvantages: So easy to drive badly
Warning -this is a bit of a racers review. But it makes sense on this car..............................
E36 M3. So, why would anyone choose one of these cars?
Answer:-
a/ You're a bit of a chav-type poser
b/ You're a serious trackday-type driver.
You decide?????????
It's cheap to buy, reasonable to run (Specialists abound) expensive to insure and a serious risk to the owner's NCB!
When I first enquired about insuring an M3 to teach on-road ... ...the telephone at arm's length! They are one of the highest "no other vehicle involved" claim vehicle, apparently. With around 300BHP (3 litre or 3.2 in real-world measurements), RWD and lifeless steering it could be a very easy car to introduce the car to the scenery. However, I persevered, found an insurer that liked what I did, and here I am with one of the best performance cars on the road - and I get to drive a whole raft of cars that have serious ...

Bmw E36 M3 evo saloon
I love my M3 evo, 90k on the clock so far FSH and still on the same healthy sounding vanos unit. Ive always had quick cars but this thing is awesome. There are a few updated items on the 3.2 E36 M3 including bigger brakes from the M5 6, speed box and bigger 3.2 twin vanos engine giving a massive 321bhp. Beware though this car cant be run on a shoe string budget. my spends so far 1) new suspension and bushes standard boge set ... ...filter, solinoides cleaned and longer BMW bolts fitted to the front plate at a cost of £150
And if that troublesome vanos unit goes im looking a £1500 for a replacement. ( so best to get it serviced )
None of this matters though because ive got one of the best driving cars the world has ever seen. every time im in it i smile and ive spent the money on it ensuring that ive got one of the best evos in britain.
fuel consumption is a bit mad, the ...

Advantages: Great engine, good looks, good brand name......... Disadvantages: shape and price
The BMWM Coupe is an outstanding car in every way. For a start, it looks outstanding; definitely eye-catching. There are only 250 of this car in the UK, so it is all very exclusive if you manage to get your hands on one! And for £40,595 there not half bad!
The silky smooth 321 BHP V6, rear wheel drive is superb. Other great things about this car is that it has a wonderful hard top that dramatically increases torsional rigidity. That means that the car handles better than a roadster. The BMW badge signifies wonderful build quality and a very reliable brand. The car is also very quick and very powerful. Many people would love to have a V6 and I am one of them. So, if you would like to get a BMWM-Coupe...don't worry....all you have to spend is £40,000!
BMWM Coupe Stats:
Model: Rear-wheel-drive coupe
Price: £40,595

Advantages: Performance, Quality, Fun Disadvantages: Price, Rare
"The Ultimate Driving Machine" This is certainly the case here, BMW have yet again proven they are top dog with their superior engineering and elegant design. The subtle but meaningful M Power logo dotted around the car just reminds the driver of its pedigree breed, and racing heritage. Some may argue its styling is a little quirky and tasteless, and others will genuinely fall in love with it, but we all know beauty is only skin deep and the M-Coupé has more under the bonnet.
The 3.2 litre 24 valve powerhouse puts out a very impressive 321BHP and with 258lb/ft of torque with its twin vanos system, this engine certainly has ample power for even the most enthusiastic driver. Once over 4000RPM the engine really starts to sing and come to life, the whole car takes on a different attitude and eagerly awaits a good thrashing. The ride is ...

Advantages: One word, German. Disadvantages: Thirsty and not for the faint hearted, also, damned expensive!!!!!!
. When I first bought the car (Mine is a 330Ci convertible with M3 body styling) there was a small rattle in the front left hand corner (where the roof meets the window) and like all rattles, it really annoyed me. But as I have driven the car further and faster, the rattle has gone, and the car has become much more smooth.
Reliability:
With age this car has become more reliable, even though mine is only a year old there is the whole BMW history behind it. From the first 3series until now, these cars have always been reliable, mainly because they are built and engineered in Germany. With this history behind them, it makes the 3Series one of the most reliable cars I have owned (and others will most definitely agree.
Comfort:
Ok, this car isn?t the largest in the world. The entire length is 4.48metres, and the width is only 1.75metres ...
