The BMW M3 combines real world practicality with near supercar performance. The styling is relitivley understated yet noticibly more muscular than the standard 3 series. The greatest feature of this car is the engine which has smooth and substantial power delivery but the chassis is equally impressive providing sharp handling. As a whole it is a very well thought out package and the convertible losses little of the coupe's abilities. Some still prefer this car to the new BMW M3 as it has a more immediate appeal.
