The highest praise I can give a sports car is to say it performs well both on a track and while driving slowly around town. Why? Because anybody can make a no-compromises car that�s fast on the track but beats you to death on the streets. Likewise, anybody can make a comfy boulevard cruiser that wallows around the track. What�s tricky is hitting that balance.
One of the few truly awesome cars I�ve driven, the M3 nails both the sport and the comfort ends of the spectrum. You can tell the M3 if you want it to be sedate or scary-fast � and it listens.
Driving Impressions
Joe Wiesenfelder tested a 2010 M3 with a manual transmission, and you can read his impressions here. My 2011 test car came with BMW�s M double-clutch transmission, and I have to say that even though I generally prefer manuals, I�d probably take this transmission if I were buying an M3.
