The letter M in the name of BMW cars primarily signifies a sporty character. These cars are represented in the market by various models. The most well-known ones are BMW M2, M4, M5, X3 M, X4 M. The cars differ from each other in class and ultimate purpose. However, they share many common features. This can be understood after analyzing reviews of the BMW M series.
These cars come with a high price tag. Vehicles immediately indicate the owner's high social status. However, there are also some drawbacks. In reviews of the BMW M series, car owners note a rapid loss of liquidity. This is primarily evident in two aspects:
- Decreased interest in used cars from potential buyers.
- Rapid depreciation.
This factor is not determinative. However, for some car enthusiasts, it may be one of the reasons to refrain from purchasing. Selling BMW M series cars can be incredibly challenging.
Review of BMW M3 E46, only positive emotions
I understand that BMWs are feared, especially those with the letter M. Personally, when I decided to buy a BMW, instead of the M3, I almost bought a 330 and I am infinitely happy about it. Otherwise, every time I saw someone in an M3, I would wonder what kind of car it was.
In winter, there were no difficulties with starting in any cold weather or anything else. The car warms up quickly, although the seat heating is not very effective, poorly warming the leather seats.
You won't believe it, but in 3 years, I didn't even change the front brake pads once. If you think while driving and use engine braking, the brakes are immortal.
After just one winter, the rear tires in the center were completely worn out, it was not a pressure issue, but a problem with the rear suspension. A regular auto repair shop could not identify this problem, they only saw it at the M-center on 1905 Street. I also had a differential lock failure, although I drive quite calmly, considering for what overloads the car was designed.
Overall, there were no major issues with the car. I am very pleased with the purchase and have no regrets. That's all from me.
Review of BMW M2 Competition
In my opinion, the BMW M2 stands out with an excellent combination of handling and dynamism. The car smoothly and quickly gains speed. Sudden jerks are eliminated. In terms of speed, this model outperforms other representatives of the brand.
There are no complaints about the handling either. The car quickly and sensitively responds to any changes in steering commands. It smoothly navigates turns, behaves precisely when driving in the city and on the highway.
Review of the BMW X3 M SUV
However, in reviews of the BMW M series, drivers recommend using these cars only on roads with solid asphalt pavement. Off-road driving will instantly damage the suspension. This applies to both sports coupes or sedans and parket SUVs. There is no difference.
The models presented do not have significantly high off-road capabilities. Gravel roads to a country plot are the limit of their off-road properties. In more extreme conditions, it is better not to use the cars.
In reviews of the BMW M series, owners do not recommend using the car on poor asphalt surfaces. The reason is the low ground clearance. The road clearance is not sufficient to overcome deep potholes. The car will hit the underbody protection.

Review of BMW X3 M
First and foremost, I want to highlight the unmatched quality of the BMW X3 M's interior. The cars emphasize their belonging to one of the premium car brands.
Luxury finishing materials are clearly used in the interior, with metallic elements and wooden inserts instead of traditional plastic.
The sporty character of the series is also evident in the seat selection. The front driver and passenger seats have developed side support, enhancing comfort during sharp maneuvers.
The seats themselves have 2 adjustment options. They can be adjusted for length extension and backrest tilt.
I will also note the negatives — low comfort for rear passengers. For our large family, it turns out the car is not very suitable.
However, the ergonomics are well thought out to the smallest detail. Engaging various options does not pose any problems or difficulties.
One of the advantages of the models is excellent soundproofing. Drivers will hardly hear the tire friction on asphalt and the characteristic engine roar. Although sometimes there is a lack of engine noise during acceleration.
Review of BMW M8 Coupe
After purchasing the BMW M8 Coupe, I realized that I will always have problems. And these problems are quite serious. Namely:
- fuel demand;
- high consumption.
The car is luxurious, sporty, but gas-guzzling. Moreover, the engine tends to form coke deposits. The service center said that this may lead to a power loss in the future, engine knocking, and increased consumption. It is necessary to refuel only with high-quality gasoline from verified gas stations.
Careful consideration is also needed for the choice of motor oil. I purchase synthetic blends with low viscosity. Compositions of 0W are perfect.
Another negative aspect is the cost of repairs. The work is expensive, but original parts are even more costly. Buying a BMW M8 means constant expenses. The car is expensive in terms of parts, fuel, and tax.
