One of the best well made cars on the street, BMW has taken it's 3 series and upgraded it to 'M' status... What the M-Power division at BMW basically does is upgrade the engine, gives the car better handling, lower and stiffer suspension as well as a few exterior improvements... You can get this car in 4-door, coupe or convertible form, and for the performance it gives it is quite moderately priced!
For 2000 BMW has completely re-designed the M3 (According to it's new 3-series)... I have heard rumors there will only be this coupe version, and no 4-doors, though that i am still uncertain... What do you think?
