What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

For The M3 is simply awesome on the road, almost as quick as a supercar

Against Space is tight in the back seats, and the car is expensive to buy and run

Verdict The M3 is the budget alternative to a supercar - a real enthusiast's motor

Go for… Well-loved models

Avoid… Track day cars

BMW M3 Convertible
  • 1. Every car comes with a massive amount of standard kit
  • 2. The convertible’s desirability means it holds its value better than most, so it's not cheap
  • 3. You must do a vehicle history check - these cars are wanted by crooks as well as legitimate motorists
  • 4. There's masses of grip on the standard wheels and tyres
  • 5. Rear seats are cramped and there's only room for two adults at the most
