2010 BMW M3 Reviews

Let's face it people, the M3 has always been the greatest sports saloon in the world. The roar of that huge 4.0L V8 and the thrill of changing gears with that F1 style gearbox is absolutely phenomenal. The M3's exterior is top notch and its by far the nicest M3 to date. The seating is race oriented with your hands firmly on the steering wheel and your fingers are in easy reach of those paddles. The interior is classic BMW with a refreshed look on an already fully functional 3-series layout. The car books and can easily take any EVO or STI or any of its german counterparts. I seriously cannot find anything wrong with this car. Then why is it that I'm not entirely convinced I would actually buy one if given the chance? If someone all of a sudden gave me one I think I would trade it in and possibly leave another lot with a Camaro SS or even an Audi RS4. Maybe it has something to do with me living in Miami where all 20 something career driven young men drive M3s and you cannot be seen driving one without being labeled as a d-bag. Or maybe it has something to do with BMW just being overplayed. You have the money but not the age to buy a Merc, so you buy a BMW because something in society tells you that German muscle is the way to go despite equally beautiful and powerful cars existing on the home-front. You are told what cars are good and which ones are not by the masses with BMW consistently being rated at the top but I don't think this is true. No one can argue that it is a bad car, but is it really all that great? Is it a car that leaves a lasting impression or is it just for laughs? Can someone really call the M3 their ideal car?
