Hey guys
I got a question to ask. Are the M3's any good? I'm interested in buying one but not a brand new one just something I can drive in the winter.. I'm looking at 2000-2005 year. Are there any kind of trouble with them?

thanks

 

Just get a civic or accord much better for winter

 

A friend told me to avoid early model smg's (2000-2002) they have been prone to tranny issues.
Otherwise its a solid car and you won't be disapointed!

 

i believe there were engine issues where it can start on fire, etc.. for the 2000-2002 models if i remember correctly...


i was looking in an M3 too.. at the same time b4 i bought my S2K! i decided to go with the S2K because A) better on gas B) cheaper on insurance! and since i won't drive them in winter, it won't matter to me! LOL

my buddy told me a tank of gas 94 Octane can go as far as 450kms if you drive like a granny.. and it cost him the most last year at like almost $90/tank! LOL

 

Yeah I was looking at an M3 before I got the S as well. The reason I didn't get the M3 was the cost of maintenance. $200 oil changes and $2000 brake jobs were a little too steep for me.

If money wasn't an issue I would get one for sure.

 

RWD for winter is taking a step in the wrong direction...

 

Do you mean Mazda 3 or what everyone else is thinking M3? lol I've seen ppl call their mazda a m3, and it seems like thats what your doing and its confusing the hell outta me, coz why would u wanna get a bmw m3 for winter?

 

lol i think he means BMW M3.. since he's asking for 2000-2005 model?
Mazda 3 (also known to many others "M3") came out in 2003 or 2004.. can't remember.. arg...

 

BMW M3 because I'm sick of driving a civic for the winter... I got a S2000 for the summer toy and I love it, I was going to sell the S and buy a C6 z06 but why when I can have two nice car. 1 for summer and 1 for winter lol.. I can't store two cars for the winter.

Thansk for the input guys..

 

Well the S2000 isnt' that cheap for gas either lol.. last year it cost almost 60 bucks to fill up and it's a two seater.
