If you read pretty much any review of M3's for the past 6-7 years. I don't think i've ever read a bad one. MSN has it as one of their 10 best, some of the guys i work with mentioned it. If i remember correctly, it was in the list with a 360 Modena Convertible, Bentley.. there's several reviews on the net too of professional journalists saying that they'd buy one if they could afford it. their dream car of choice.
