BMW M3 is car more for sport because it's powerful engine, carbon fibre roof, low suspension and rear wheel drive which gives more speed in the corners, its like racing car that you can ride everyday.

The BMW M3 has become the best car I have ever owned (and I have owned everything from a Porsche to a 1964 DB5). I have driven 17k miles in it as a daily commuter and drive round town.

Why ?

1. It has race car performance but with BMW reliability
2. It can visit IKEA and carry home huge chunks of stuff, as much as a 220d due to its drop seats
3. It appears to be retaining its value as it is difficult to source one in the UK
4. It delivers the E92 M3 performance at half the cost.

The BMW M3 CSL E46 in my opinion is the best sports car ever made. It does not look cheap and have plastic all over it like most other sports cars. They give a very good ride and are also good at cruising. Pedal to the metal (great its not plastic!) and it bolts you back in your seat and the engine roars like you have never heard. The engine is tough and copes with any driver no matter how mad they are!
Best sports car by far.

422 of the BMW M3 CSL sports cars were made for the UK of which I understand all have now been sold. I bought one of the last few unregistered cars BMW had left for sale at a good discount as they believe they have oversupplied to the UK.

The M3 CSL is a very specialist car which is very unlike the standard BMW M3. Having a firmer ride and sharper steering it is very much a track car that can be used for road purposes.

The car lacks refinement and is not suitable for long journeys due to firm seats with little adjustment. Having previously owned an M3 and being aware of what the car is not good at, I chose the CSL for what it does as well as cars costing much more (eg 911 GT3). This must be one of the most entertaining drivers cars ever made.

The car has a large air induction system that helps incease the engine power to 360 bhp and creates a glorious wail as your revs climb from 3500 rpm to 8500 rpm.

The SMG gearbox is often critisized by the press, largely I believe due to inexperience with the system. It's like someone who has only driven automatic cars testing a manual car and critisizing it for being jerky because they cant master a clutch straight away. It takes a few days to get to grips with the BMW SMG gearbox and a little longer before it can be driven smoothly in the auto modes.
