The m stands for motor sport Al though Bow has changed the name of its racing operation to just Plain a i View of the division s other activities which include hand building the m5, sold in Europe and designing the m3.the latter is a truly special car albeit for an affluent few. We sure hated to give it Back. The m3 was introduced in the United states this summer As a 95  on the 325i Coupe the m has a larger version of the 325 s six Cylinder engine whose variable valve timing was recalibrate to increase Power at higher engine revs and whose exhaust system has wider pipes. The result is blazing acceleration and a sound so Sweet that when you get where you re going you might be tempted to sit there a while and Blip the throttle just to hear it. Zero to 60 happens i about six seconds almost a second sooner than in the previous m3. The Power comes on evenly from Idle right up tothe red line so unless you re in a very big hurry you rarely have to downshift to pass another car on the Highway. Premium Gas is required. There s a lot More to them though than engine Power. It is a sophisticated package with a firm yet comfortable ride Jock hard Low profile tires Excel Lent handling and Strong braking. Inside it is luxurious and typically s bows new m3 costs plenty but its ride and handling arc reportedly Worth it. Bow understated Rich looking and slightly flawed with for example no Way to lock the doors from inside except to reach around awkwardly and push Down the buttons. A upholders Are a $139 option. The leather upholstered front seats have More lateral support than those of other 3-scries cars. But while the Driver s seat will adjust to suit just about anyone a buyer in this class it seems to us has a right to expect Power opera Tion. An american car in this class would have it except for a fog lamp switch hidden behind the steering wheel rim controls Are Well placed. Rear seat room is quit acceptable and so is trunk space giving the m3 an advantage Over another performance Model in this Price Range the Mazda rx-7. Once comfortable m3 Drivers will have to be stick shift capable because automatic transmission is not available in this Model. The shifter and clutch arc we think first rate. The front air dam and Rocker panel extensions give the m3 an aggressive look that might be a bit much for the mature enthusiasts at whom this car is aimed. But they help designate it a something unique which indeed it is. Other options to consider Power Sun roof for $1,220, and cruise control and fog lamps for $455.
