Used BMW 3-Series M3 Convertible (2001 - 2006) Costs Review by Parkers on 01 Jan 2001 4.5 A very impressive piece of kit, with sufficiently enhanced looks to distinguish it from cooking 3-Series models, the drop top simply adds an extra layer of appeal to the M3's already compelling specification. Ultimately the loss of the metal roof makes it less suitable for the race track, but that's not the point of this car.

Emissions summary 3-Series’ 3.2-litre petrol unit returns just 20mpg, so it's no surprise that it gets a terrible eco score. It emits 328 g/km CO2 which is high compared to an average family car, but fairly standard compared to similar medium-sized convertibles. Thankfully, these sorts of cars tend to be less prevalent on the roads than greener, average family cars.
