The 2008 BMW M3 is a tame lion, easy to handle among traffic and urban driving, while ferocious on the track or out in the hills. Its cabin electronics are amongst the best available.
BMW's fourth generation M3 comes out with the first V-8 engine in the model line, adding significant power. But the innovation doesn't stop there, BMW equips the M3 with incredible powertrain and modern cabin tech.
The hood bulge is the most notable design cue on the M3, differentiating it from the 335i and 328i. The air intakes are also unique to the M3. Also, that hood is aluminum.
The six speed manual shifts very smoothly, plus you can hit the Power button for sharper throttle response and the Electronic Damping Control button to put it in Sport mode.
