2006 BMW M3

2006 BMW M3 Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2006 BMW M3

The powerful M3, available as a coupe or convertible, soldiers on with few changes for 2006, pending a complete redesign that will likely bring a new V8 engine. Changes are minimal to this race-car-for-the-streets, which remains a more practical yet uncompromising alternative to hard-core sports cars. It's not for the faint of heart, as its sharp reflexes can make for a brutal ride on rough roads.

BMW's Street Racer

The BMW M3 won't be redesigned for another year or two, which is fine, because the 2005 model is still a thrill.

Highs

  • Race-car performance and handling
  • Understated good looks
  • Supportive front seats
  • Well designed interior
  • Usable backseat and trunk

Lows

  • Clunky and annoying Sequential Manual Gearbox
  • Stiff suspension batters occupants
  • Subject to $1,000 gas-guzzler tax

What's New

  • Essentially unchanged since its 2001introduction, the M3 isn't saddled with gadgets
  • The M3 coupe is the only 3 Series model to come standard with split-folding rear seat backs
