2003 BMW M3 Coupe review from North America
"Worth the cash, but $150 oil changes still suck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems as of yet. With less than 10k miles, there had better be no problems.
General comments?
You probably hear this from every other M3 owner, but this car is simply incredible. The fact that BMW could squeeze 333hp from 3.2 liters of naturally aspirated motor is amazing.
The acceleration is great, and that sound is oh so sweet. I opted for the standard 6 speed, rather than the SMG. I would just rather have a gearbox that is trouble free.
I am NOT a fan of BMW's navigation system, so I didn't get it on this one. My buddy's 2002 540i has it, and it just seems to have lots of quirks.
