A Great car, an allrounder.
It had to follow up on the E30 M3, and point to point it was and istill is a quick car, yes there are faster machines, but after hammering the life out of it day in day out, or taking it on a track day, it would start 1st time each time the next day or even the same night no probs. That is a usable sports car. As for handling and feel, lets remember BMW caters for all, some people buy it for the school and shopping run, some drive it cross continnent, and there are those who want a sports car, so the out of the Box car has to cater for all, god bless Schintzer, Hartge and all for those who want a little more focussed driving tool.

here is mine.... i still think it is quick enough even today........
SAying that the E46 is great the CSL madder.... the new one being the E90 will put the bar higher..... but there will never be a poor M3 or any M car.... As in many reviews they put any new car against an M car as a benchmark.... nuff said
