What is this discussion about? BMW M3, Coupe

Article comments for The Best BMW M3 Ever - It's also the end of something. We're saying good-bye to the E46 M3, the tightly shaped coupe with the inline-6. No other car has meant so much to guys who really care about cars and fast driving. (more)

Replying to: fedlawman (Jun 29, 2007 6:52 am) Nice farewell to one of the best cars BMW has ever sold in the US. I would say it's the most accessible, comfortable, and fastest M3 ever (until next year), but not necessarily the best. Agreed. I'm looking for an entertaining sled to drive to work and I just hate the thought of piling miles on to an E30 M3. Conversely, the E46 is a bit more expensive than I would prefer for a DD. A friend has an immaculate 35K mile Dakar II 1997 M3 which may prove to be the best option. Since it doesn't have a "real" ///M motor I wouldn't have to mess with valve adjustments either- I'd just have to worry about a VANOS unit going south...
#4 of 8 One vote for Worst M3 Ever by jmaroun Jan 17, 2008 (6:04 pm)
Get real. Based upon the reviews and looks of the thing, I'd actually vote this E92 M3 as the "WORST" M3 ever made. From its poor steering feel to its gas guzzling V8 to its macho-man looks. To think, I actually put a grand down to be on a waiting list for this car and have been anticipating it for years. What a big dissappointment. Joseph San Diego
#6 of 8 Reviews ROCK, what is with you haters? by snck Mar 17, 2008 (5:32 pm)
I love the critisims thrown out, especially by the last poster that voted it the Worst Ever. Based on what, your personal opinion on the looks? The reviews have been quite positive. Gas Guzzling V8? Virtually identical to the previous model with a lot more power to boot. V8 is actually lighter than the out going I6. Besides the power, braking, handling all being world class and better than previous models, some of you guys insist on bashing it because its not a pure track car. Doesn't have that white knuckle feel of the E30. Man I would hope not. This is 20 years later, I would hope they improved things a bit. Besides, how many people actually go out to the track. How many of the people complaining about this actually go out to the track? I bet a large majority of the haters never do anything but stop light to stop light with the occasional run up to 90 on the freeway, yet they see no reason to sell their E30, E36 or E46 cause the new E92 has a V8 and doesn't have that "connection". Well if the E92 ain't for you, it ain't for you. Don't like the bulge on the hood, hey I can respect that, but going around saying its the worst M3 in history dropping the same 1 liners in multiple MB threads that don't really hold up to scrutiny...come on, grow up a bit.

Replying to: snck (Mar 17, 2008 5:32 pm) Just disregard the comments from that last guy(Jo Jo the BMW Pro); his learned opinions are based on paging through a few buff books during bathroom visits. He'd rather read than drive... Having said all that, EVERY BMW I've owned has been taken to the track. Multiple times. And if I do pick up a new M3 sedan, it will also see the track on a frequent basis.
