2001 BMW M3 Review Summary

What reviewers liked most about the 2001 BMW M3:

• Even bystanders who don't know the difference between an M3 and a garden variety 3 Series Coupe might recognize that this car is hot.- New Car Test Drive

• In terms of pure performance, the M3 is among the most capable cars on the planet. Yet it also has a functional rear seat and starts at less than $50,000.- Edmunds.com

• Bolted to a six-speed manual transmission, the M3 can hit 60 mph in 4.8 seconds.- Car and Driver

• Aggressive driving is aided by heavily bolstered front bucket seats, a thick M Sport steering wheel with attractive blue and red stitching and distinctive, red-needled M instrumentation.- Edmunds.com

Best one-liners about the 2001 BMW M3:

• The soundbite: It doesn't get any better than this. The catch: But you gotta be going 90 miles an hour. The post script: In a curve.- New Car Test Drive
