BMW M3 Coupe

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Very expensive to run, but if I'd wanted economy and cheap to run I'd have bought a Fiesta.

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very quick, amazing handling but a handful in the wet.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Outstanding. Between 2nd & 4th at full throttle is better than sex. Well, nearly.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Faultless, even after 135k miles. Keep M3 regularly serviced & it'll run forever.

    Attracts lots of attention, looks stunning in Avus blue.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very well made, but hard ride makes rough roads a bit uncomfortable. Not very well equipped.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Standard BMW alarm/immobiliser.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good, but very expensive! Independent specialists are ideal for older M3's.
