Good Points

Fantastic Acceleration, Good Standard Equipment, Great HANDLING, 996 for the family man.

Bad Points

Dodgy (delicate brakes), Frequent Ghost Warning Lights (solved by turning them off and then on after 10 minutes). Don't expect BMW residuals or Porsche for that matter. Expect to loose £8K/yr for pt-ex.

General Comments

Lets get things straight, the BMW M3 Coupe is a four (adult) seat car with boot space, which can challenge a 996. It's bored out, tuned engine, and suspension, would leave any boy racers envious. Expect to have some come and speak to you at the gas station. Very quick, great leather (much better than all usual BMW coupe's). M series are a different breed there is little relationship between normal and M. Don't believe the dealers, worse residuals than BMW (normal) and Porsche. This, bought 2nd hand is for the wealthy, no such thing as cheap super cars. Watch the tyres and the depreciation.
Given the fact that this car will cost in the region of £10K to drive for one year (and ignoring that aspect), Its brilliant!!!! But I just tried part-exing mine, and was going to get another, until I realised how much they drop in value. I bought mine at 2 years old with 17K on the clock. It had dropped £17k in value (to £30K), I thought that was the bulk done, however I have just shopped mine for £20K for 47K that's £10K for another 30000 miles but £27k in three years for 47000 miles?
This type of motoring is not cheap, and it's arguable that if you don't have kids get a 996, however if you do get one of these... They are slightly uncool, but you will not care as they drive so well.
Be prepared for people wanting to race you, and for them to be ungracious. If you can handle it, buy this snorting, tyre shredding, adrenaline pumping big boys toy and enjoy. Everyone should have one at least once... I can't wait to get my hands on the M5.
