BMW M3 First Drive Review

By Ameya Dandekar29 Dec 2017

The BMW M3 is a legendary car. With every generation, it has been the de facto benchmark that other manufacturers look to beat. So what makes the M3 so special? The fact that it is all the car you would ever need. Devastatingly fast yet soothing when you are in the mood to cruise around. Physics bending dynamics, but also capable of ironing out imperfect road conditions. Sports car rivalling performance yet having the capability to carry a family of four in luxury. But one should also remember this car is tested and developed in Europe, where road conditions are as similar to ours as vada pav is to a ham burger.
