Fuel Economy
It's a 4.0L V8 so you didn't buy it for the Fuel Economy in the first place
Pros
Power
Way more power than anyone actually needs means plenty always available. It's terrifyingly fast for a sedan.
Ride and Handling
Insanely planted, wonderful steering feel. Adjustable dampers range between stiff and bone-rattling. Have yet to discover the car's limits because they're at illegal speeds.
Interior Space
Fits four adults comfortably. I'm 6'4" and have plenty of leg and head room when I drive.
Cons
Fuel Economy
Exactly what you'd expect: 12-14 in the city, 18-22 highway.
Technology and Entertainment
iDrive system doesn't work well with my phone, no way to update it.
Cost to Maintain
Tires, wheels, and other consumables are very expensive.

Last year you will ever see a naturally aspirated V8 in a M3
Ride and Handling
Adjustable suspension settings
Styling
The German's always win in this category
Cons
Fuel Economy
Averaging 9 to 11 MPG's
