Good highway car but nowhere near as satisfying to drive as a Boxster or Carreras I've driven.
Recently bought a 2008 Boxster from an acquaintance and will be selling the M3.

I rented a 330i auto convertible for a day to test drive before I bought my 2000 Box "S". I rented the 330i March 2 2003 the day Drifting debuted in the U.S. at Irwindale Speedway CA. I agree with the comments above & would add that I HATED the engine in the 330i & a 99 & 97 M3 I drove. The engine reminded me of a sewing machine. At full throttle the engine sounds like it stays in a very narrow rpm range, & just bored me. The 330i was very easy to initiate & maintain a 4 wheel drift which was fun but so easy I belive I would soon get bored with that & look for tougher stunts to try. Before the final round I was inspecting the tread & saw I was nearly into the cords on the RR tire & better save it for the trip back to the car rental office. :chicken:
