BMW 3-Series M3 Coupe Evolution 2d (1996/N) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Mileage appears to affect value more than age.
Costs
Repair work by dealership is costly.
-
On the road
Driving
Rock solid, but can have a happy tail-end if pushed.
Performance
Stunning performance above 2500rpm in every gear right to the redline at 7500rpm.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Little niggles with the on-board computer and exhaust.
Image
Only for those who realise that this is an M3.
Comfort
As expected for a sports coupe - road noise and stiff suspension. Black leather seats are a nightmare in the summer!
-
Security and Service
Security
Needs a tracker - more problems with key scratchers than anything else.
