 2009 BMW M3  Convertible

2009 BMW M3 Convertible, Great car, from acceleration to brakes it is simply superb. Superb seats. Professional reviewers have said enough about the car's performance. I'll give you the owner's perspective. Unlike my X5 hand brake is manual, for 75K BMW can do better.

The window seals allow water in thru during a wash. Incidently my 528i also had the same problem so this may be an issue BMW needs to work on. 1900 bucks for an upgraded stereo is steep, especially when it is not truly audiophile quality. Air scarf/vent or whatever it is called is cumbersome. But step on the accelerator and all these gripes will feel petty
