The m3 may or may not be practical depending on various factors. If you live in a place were snow is problem then the m3 can be tricky for you. You'll need another car to get around in because it's terrible in snow no matter what tires you have or how good of a driver you are. So to cope with snow you need an alternative to the m3 whether that's a 2nd car, a ride from someone, or bus/train. Since it's a "sports car" the suspension is extremely sensitive so if you drive over a smashed soda can you'll feel it lol. I live in NYC and the roads are ****, so pot hole dogging is a full time a job. If you drive on crappy roads, you will wreck the m3. You'll need constant alignments, new tires, and suspensions work. Besides, you don't want to risk cracking 19inch ($1000+ a set) rims. Even the standard 18inch are big too. I's a very sensitive car in general so if you drive it daily then maintenance and repair will really hit you. Last month i dropped $1,800 on engine "maintenance" despite my careful driving. So be prepared to spend if you drive it daily. It's also not good on gas. I get like 20mpg highway and the new V8 engine for the late models speak for themselves. Trunk space is microscopic at best but, it's very roomy inside despite being a 2 door. It's also low to the ground so you must use caution near bumps, curbs, ramps, driveways, etcc. So it can be a practical car without a doubt. Though if you live in a place where snow is a problem you need a plan for getting around. Also, if you have the $$ for maintinence. Otherwise, the m3 is a solid choice.
Though the 325 (4 door) is much more practical car but, it's not a sports car. If you drive kids around don't buy a coupe. Though i would recommend the 335 coupe or 328 coupe for that matter if you want a sports car. The 335 is more pratical and easier to deal with then an m3 which i can compare it high maintenance woman lol. If your skiing you need more of 4 door. I would recomend to you the 325i or the mercedes c300. You could also consider the four door 335 too. I think the audi a4 would be your best bet. It's roomy, has a big trunk, has 4 wheel drive, and it's fast. You could also get the 4 cylinder which is cheap for gas. That is my recommendation for your needs but, the m3 is a sports car like no other.Can a BMW M3 be considered a practical car?
If you want practicality, then any BMW is about the worst choice out there. They are expensive to maintain especially if they are used. Also for the money, BMW's are grossly underpowered and lacking in performance. If you want something practical, get a Subaru WRX brand new for the same price as that 25k M3 you're looking at. At least with the Subaru WRX, you'll have a reliable car that has AWD 265 hp and is practical at the same time.Can a BMW M3 be considered a practical car?the M3 is a purpose built sports car. Personally I wouldn't use it for that sort of duty. If you want a 3 series maybe look for a 335xi since the AWD would be useful when you go skiing. The great thing about the 335 is the turbocharged engine which has 300hp. If you want M3 level power you can get it with a simple ECU modification.Can a BMW M3 be considered a practical car?
