Reviews of the 2008 BMW M3 Coupe
-
CNET Review
The Good: The 2008 BMW M3's roster of performance tech is amazing, from the double-VANOS system, to control fuel flow, to its engine, to the sport adjustable suspension, to regenerative braking to power its electronics. In the cabin, we like the integrated traffic reporting in the navigation system, the iPod adapter, and the Bluetooth cell phone system.
The Bad: Beyond some interface issues with the iDrive system, we found very little that could be considered bad about the M3.
The Bottom Line: The 2008 BMW M3 is a tame lion. It's easy to handle among traffic and urban driving, while ferocious on the track or out in the hills. Its cabin electronics are among the best available.
