BMW M3 Coupe
What Car? rating - 4 out of 5
FOR  The M3 is a bespoke sports coupe with sensational performance and handling. It's also a practical everyday proposition, with a comfortable ride and plenty of space for four people.
AGAINST  The claimed average 22.8mpg from the 4.0-litre V8 is extremely optimistic. Heavy rear tyre wear is inevitable, as is a hefty company car tax bill.
