Article is from Car and Driver 

his is just as bad as a Corvette. except it has a back seat. muttered my wife. Mary. and she was not employing bad to mean good in the modern urban vernacular. Mary has developed an aversion to riding in Corvettes with me because the powerful plastic sports cars always seem to stimulate my aggressive driving tendencies. She had correctly perceived that the BMW M3 convertible has precisely the same effect.

To readers of this magazine. this effect is a virtue rather than a vice because. just like the Corvette. the M3 convertible has the combination of effortless energy. secure grip. and linear controls that make any driver feel like Michael Schumacher--and want to emulate him.

Okay. so the M3 convertible can't quite match the quarter-mile time of 13. 1 seconds at 111 mph of the latest Corvette convertible. In fact. the M3 convertible's 13. 7-second quarter-mile at 104 mph is 0. 3 second and 2 mph in arrears of the closed-roof M3 (June 2001). thanks to the convertible's shocking 398-pound weight gain from its power top and various and sundry reinforcements.

Even so. the M3 convertible is by far the quickest droptop on the market with an adult-feasible rear seat. Turn off the traction control. drop the clutch at 4500 rpm. and you rocket to 60 mph in 5. 1 seconds. A mere 7. 4 seconds later. you'll hit triple digits.

Passing on a back road is simply a matter of using the beautiful shifter to select third gear and planting your right foot. Accompanied by the determined metallic rasp from the rev-happy 3. 2-liter six. you will surge around even a double tractor-trailer in astonishingly little time and space. Keep your foot in it. and the M3 convertible will still be pulling strongly when you run into the electronic governor. which truncated the acceleration curve at 157 mph in our car. although the speedo needle was nearly touching the 170 mark.

At top speed. on an admittedly uneven road. the M3 cabrio did want both hands on the wheel. But in most other circumstances. it inspires immense confidence. We found ourselves hurling the M3 into corners ever faster. knowing the car was so well-planted on its big Michelin Pilot Sport tires that we would simply track through as if on a tether. Even in fast corners. midcourse corrections are always an option because there's invariably sufficient bite to tighten your line.

Although the current line of 3-series suffers from steering that is too light (soon to be corrected. BMW promises). the M3's nicely sculpted three-spoke wheel is beautifully weighted and so intuitively responsive that after driving a few blocks. you position the car with the casual accuracy that normally comes from years of ownership. Pretty soon. you're "driving it like a Corvette. "

Unlike the latest version of Chevy's sports car. however. the M3 convertible accommodates more than luggage in the rear. Although its back seat is narrower than the one in the sedan. it's roomy enough for two average-size adults for short trips. The trunk will hold a pair of stacked. unfolded garment bags and some odds and ends. even with the top down. With the top up. you can fold a panel out of the way and fit another duffel bag or two.

As you would expect in a $58. 00 car. this trunk is neatly trimmed. as is the nappa-leather-upholstered cockpit. All the usual power adjustments and conveniences are standard. including one-touch top operation incorporating a mechanized hard boot. Dropping the top is so painless. we often did it for five-minute trips.

This top is fully lined and impressively tight. Even during an extended 90-plus-mph cruise--people sure drive rapidly in central California--air leaks and wind roar were so low that we almost forgot we were driving a convertible.

Droptop 3-series models have never been paragons of structural rigidity. and this latest M3 still can't match a Corvette convertible in twist resistance. Although stiffer than its predecessor. which is quite an achievement given the new model's much firmer suspension. the M3 convertible will quiver and shake in pothole-infested Michigan. On California roads. however. we rarely noticed any sheetmetal jitters.

The structural quibble aside. if you want a convertible that's fast and has a real back seat. this M3 is the best there is. Just don't let the four seats fool you. It's a sports car. and it encourages you to drive it like one.

Find out why the M3 ranks as one of 2002's 10Best Cars.

The M3 is. and always has been. the distillation of everything that makes BMW cars special. M division engineers. endowed with a streak of lunacy. take an already great BMW 3-series car and add power. improve its handling. and create a Sports car  that takes on dedicated sports cars. You get the feeling these guys share a kinship with those fun-loving. society-be-damned types who put a few special ingredients into a still and create moonshine. In this case. it's the new. 333-hp BMW M3. the moonshine of cars.

Once upon a time. BMW could call its cars the Ultimate Driving Machine without people rolling their eyes and laughing. It's a bit harder to swallow in this era of diesel M-Sport cars. bizarre naming strategies. bloated designs and slow-selling oddballs like the 5-Series GT. Thank God for the E46 M3.

The good news is that the cars that made us care about BMW in the first place aren't going away; they're just getting more affordable. provided you don't mind a copy with a few miles on it and you have a budget for proper maintenance.

Ten years ago. the lovely machine you see above would have cost you something like $60. 00. Now. thanks to the miracle of depreciation. an E46 M3 and all its 333 horsepower naturally aspirated straight six magic can be yours for far less than that. Yay depreciation!

We now live in an age when the M3's 333 horsepower and 262 pound feet of torque may not seem all that impressive. These days. you can get more power and torque out of a V6 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Rest assured. though — even a decade later. the S54 is nothing to mess around with.

Like its predecessors. this is an engine that loves to rev. rev. rev. You get an ample amount of low-end power — enough to regularly engage your traction control on even medium-hard launches — but things really come alive in the midrange. and the motor screams willingly all the way up to 8. 00 RPM. See that notch on the tach that shows the redline? That basically becomes your shift light. Not because you have to to squeeze all the power out of it. but because you'll want to all the time.

It's a nasty street fighter of an engine. Zero to 60 times for a convertible like this one are quoted at five seconds flat. while the lighter coupe version does it in 4. 6. The 'vert felt a little quicker than that according to my butt stopwatch. but those numbers are impressive nonetheless.

he M3 is a hard-edged performance car. so don't expect to cruise in total comfort. The suspension is stiff enough that you will be well acquainted with the bumps in the road. But here's the thing: while the ride is harsh. it never really beats you up. Maybe it's because the seats are so comfortable. or maybe because it's been properly tuned to be an everyday car. but I can't go so far as to describe the ride as harsh. It's a good compromise.

t's an M3. Of course it handles incredibly well. duh.

I feel like we have this image of German performance sedans as being staid. buttoned down land missiles; fast. but undramatic. This is not the case with the E46 M3. It's emotional. lively. maybe even twitchy. and always eager to get its rear end out. It's not a car for beginners. Drive it in anger without knowing that you're probably headed for a ditch. Know what you're doing and respect the machine and you can outclass much more powerful and more expensive cars in back roads and on a track.

While the chassis does a great job of staying flat and body roll-free in the corners. a lot of credit goes to the superb steering system. which is tight. heavy. direct and offers a ton of road feel.

And here's where we circle back to why depreciation is a good thing. This once expensive car can now be placed into the hands of you. nbsp;the people. the 99 percenters. for relatively cheap these days.

Some M3s can be had for $16. 00 or even lower. while a few garage queens might go for close to $30. 00. I also found quite a few examples on Carmax in the low $20. 00 range if you want all of your potentially expensive maintenance to be covered under their warranty. which strikes me as a very good deal. This isn't a Honda Civic. so repairs can get tricky and pricey.

As with any German performance car. finding one that has been taken care of meticulously is more important than one with low miles. But for all you get in the E46 M3 — for all its performance. style. still-relevant tech features. and the way it balances what's good about old and new cars — it has become an incredible bargain.
