Miles Overview
The 1997 M3 is the enthusiast's choice from BMW's lineup, with a coupe and a sedan body that both share the same chassis and driving character. It handles with a near 50/50 weight balance and a suspension that feels planted and responsive, making it easy to place through corners. The supportive front seats hold you in place during spirited driving, though the rear seats are tight for adults. Running costs are higher than average, with expensive replacement parts and a staggered tire setup that wears quickly. Four doors and a sedan body set the 1997 M3 Base apart from the coupe, making it the practical pick for the enthusiast who needs back seats. Its 3.2L I6 makes 240 horsepower, paired with a five-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, so it's ready for daily driving without the manual's extra effort. Expect firmer-than-average suspension compliance and a cabin that feels driver-focused, with supportive front seats that hold you through corners.
