Great all season driver!
This is the best BMW I have owned. I have had 4 previous and this m3 competition package has been the best. It drives great in all weather, heat, rain, snow. You will need to change tires to all season or swap between winter and summer, but no issues at all!

Best daily driver ever? I think so.
Comfortable. Reliable, fast, fun, beautiful. This car is definitely not for the non cur lover. This keeps you on your toes while keeping its composure and makes you comfortable. This is a beast that wants you to push it to its limits. Amazing does not do it justice.

One of the great high performance cars.
It is easy and fun to drive, it responses quickly, handling is great. I have been driving my car for 2 years and there is no major problems on my car. BMW service is great. I have a tire warranty that I do not have to worry about flat or damage tires. Before I drove a m4, my current m3 cs is much better than regular m's.

All about my BMW and short review.
It is costly not only costly. Very much. Performance is great. When I bought its engine sound was not too much well. But when a day goes it looks clean sound. If I talk about reliability,I think it is the best reliable thing in the world. But if I talk about comfort and features, it is not up to mark I think.

Fun fun fun
Love the acceleration and tightness. The bolsters are a bit tight but I guess they're designed for keeping you from getting thrown around when you're wimping on it.

I drive the premier vehicle of 2018!
My car is a true race car! It is functional for everyday driving but can get from 0-60mph very quickly! I can also drive in economy mode! I just love hearing the engine roar when I push the ignition button! The m series is the way to go! If you ever have a chance to drive an m series, do it!

Everyday use is no problem for this car. It sporting but totally user friendly.
The m3 drives a lot like a sport cars. It accelerates with potency, turns sharply and stop quickly. There's little reason to crave more performance through the steering doesn't communication much road feel to the driver. Still, this car does impressive number of thing very well.

It has great Bluetooth options.
I dislike its uncomfortability. Also, seats are too close. But the screen options and Bluetooth are pretty cool.
