The large disc brakes bring the M3 down from high speeds in a heartbeat. Inside, the BMW M3 feels like a sports car. The driver's seat, with 12 manual controls, has incredible thigh support and excellent bolstering. This seat makes you really feel one with the car. The dashboard is standard 3-Series which for the most part is good.
Controls are generally easy to use and the gauges are large.
I could have gotten even more comfortable behind the wheel with a couple of small adjustments. The M3 comes at a greater cost than the standard 328i. But options are unnecessary unless you yearn for a sunroof or a CD player. That's a big hunk of change to most of us. Return to the News-Argus Front Page.
