General Comments
BMW M3 2dr is a six cylinder machine. The expensive version of one of the most popular cars ever made; the 3 series BMW. It has some interesting features for the more experienced driver like a 6 speed manual gearbox. Also a top of the range built in satellite-navigator so you know how to get to where you are going a TV a compact disc changer all as standard as most 'extras' are included in the price like air conditioning an out side temperature gadget. The seats are red leather in the racing style. It's also got a locking fuel tank that holds 20 gallons, 19" alloy wheels which cost £120 each to clean, radar locks, and an alarm.
As for the performance it is electric a 155 mph top speed is limited. 0-60 in 5 seconds and 0-100 in 11 seconds means it can really move fast. It is motorbike quick. With a hard sports car ride this will not suit everbody.
At £44000 it is rather expensive and BMW show rooms are used to gross over charging of their customers it is then highly expensive to buy but this is not a problem as a company car all expense is covered and none is spared. The cost is £1 per mile to run for an average drive my brother has now covered 50,000 miles that is equal to £50,000 in running costs. Stage 2 service has just been done for £960 plus a few extras it was £1200 it total
It is then a quality product offering excellent performance and handling. Speeding can be a problem however as speed cameras have flashed 15 times on last count but not one had film in it. It will however cost a small fortune if it is run privately. Recommend to all those in the money.
