BMW M3 CONVERTIBLE- JULY 2009 CAR OF THE MONTH
With the summer sun shining this month, what better way to fully enjoy it than jumping behind the wheel of a fast car, top down, and letting the warm wind whip through your hair? With that idyllic picture in mind, NADAguides.com has made the well-supported decision to award the
2009 BMW M3 Convertible July’s Car of the Month. The latest edition of BMW’s “Ultimate Driving Machine,” the M3’s sleek style and state-of-the-art technology combines the best of high-end luxury, high performance, and supreme comfort. With its upgraded amenities and incomparable performance, driving the M3 turns any car ride into a thrilling experience.
Keeping up with the history of comfort and style in the M series, the M3 does not disappoint. The leather seating is highly adjustable, has available heating and holds you in place as it should. The suspension feel can be modified to three levels - comfort, normal, and sport - with Electronic Damping Control. With the recently redesigned iDrive system, the driver now has even more control over the multimedia, navigation, Bluetooth phone, vehicle information, and dynamic settings. USB ports in the center console allow for iPods and other mp3 players to be controlled via iDrive, as well.
In addition to all the goodies on the inside, the performance of the vehicle will blow the driver away. Whether rounding sharp corners on a track or cruising top-down along the coast, the M3 has taken the driving experience to diverse levels. The 4.0L V8 revs to an unbelievable 8400 RPM, producing 420 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. While seemingly low torque numbers for a high-performance vehicle, when you wind up the power band the M3 proves its strength with its remarkable acceleration and stunning speed. The high grip levels provide great stability and control around the corners, giving the driver peace of mind that not only do they have complete control over their vehicle, but they look good driving it, too!
For all of its sportiness and luxury, you will be getting your money’s worth with base prices starting at $57,850 for the coupe and $65,500 for the convertible. Each price also includes BMW’s full warranty and scheduled maintenance for 4 years/50,000 miles.
