In my vehicle I love the design of body with vinyl. And the design futuristic.
My vehicle performance is good. Nice brake and good position for drive that's relate to me. This car that was comfortable to drive. My car including features of auto parking, GPS, and safety belt. I completely change my engine to be v8 because this technology is amazing. Overall I love my car for daily use.

Basic cockpit, built to race. In the seat, the tools to drive at your hands.
The car is amazing, just as I knew in my heart it would be. The best I can say is 'ultimate driving machine' sums up BMW well. Then add an m to the series and bang! Pros; handling, acceleration and braking, power all of the time. Cons; tires go fast, fuel economy is mediocre, maintenance is expensive.

It has lasted about 10 years!
My vehicle fits perfectly for my family and I has never showed much of a serious problem. I use it for travel, vacation, trip etc. It is older than my own son, about 10 years! And it still functions pretty well. I do not have to take it out much for service. I would not recommend to buy it but also will not say no. As they say, old is gold and I am not interested to replace it.

The engine and its torque and horsepower specifications
I like the power and luxury. I wish the styling were more sporty and that the handling were better.

Enjoying my life-long BMW.
I have loved this car since the day I bought it - day one. It has the perfect amount of horsepower, luxury, reliability, longevity and ease of use. I have always enjoyed riding in, and driving, BMW vehicles even before I made this purchase. I plan on keeping this car until the value on starts to decline at a rate I am not comfortable with anymore. I hope that ends up being another 3+ years at bare minimum. After that, I would like to trade it in for another BMW.

It is fast, stylish, and fun. The best car i've owned.
I love my car. It's fast, stylish, comfortable. People love to ride in it. I love to show it off. Although maintenance is expensive.

I enjoy the feel, the look and the way it drives.
It runs great just sounds loud when it is running. I like the look and feel however which feels consistent with what traveling. I also like the engine but as a rider I can feel it consistently as I am driving. I like the reliability and comfort features that are easy to access.

2010 m3 is not a great choice of vehicle.
I always wanted an m3, but I have had really significant problems with mine. I know it was probably abused by prior owners, but it is a complete lemon! I have had multiple problems. Sometimes it wouldn't even start. It has a fairly uncomfortable interior and the clutch is shot. I do not plan to keep this vehicle long.

Save ur money. This car will cost you 3 to 4 times what u normally pay for any type of repair or service.
Sits well well-appointed. Too expensive to own though.

Roughly $25,000. This is a good value for the car. It is a reliable car and well worth the cost for the many years of driving that I have gotten out of it
