The car runs well for its age since I took care of it. I even follow the 3-4000 Oil changes. I like my cars to run smoothly including this car. I daily drive this car and sometimes take it to Cars and Coffee. This car is a fun car to drive it may not be as fast as the newer M3 but it still fun and in my opinion the most reliable of all the M3 generation if properly taken cared of especially for BMW’s. In my opinion it also has that nostalgic 90’s era vibe but its time to let go of the car as I age and I want to pursue new interests.
