1997 BMW M3 Coupe 2dr Coupe
Possibly The Perfect Car
 THE best practical sportscar on the 
market.  Looked at the 4 door M3 also 
until my significant other declared 
it "plain".  Quick poll of females at 
the office reached the same 
conclusion.  Take your time looking and 
spend about 20% over the Edmunds 
estimate to get an enthusiast owned 
car.  You'll be glad that you did.  
High mileage is OK as long as  
maintenance has been done, and the 
pricing is appropriate.  Be prepared 
for sticker shock on operating costs if 
you have owned a Honda.  Dealer 
parts are pricey, and M-specific parts 
are ridiculous.  17" tires last about 
15,000 miles at the max.  PAY THE PRICE 
AND BUY 
THIS CAR!!
