"C/NET is not qualified to review cars!!!"
Pros: The BMW M3 is a machine with soul!
Cons: Prefer the coupe, but still impressive
Summary: Talk about missing the point! If you have M3 dollars you CAN AFFORD THE GAS! While I tend to prefer the coupe (less cost, weight, quicker performance), the ragtop does give you style & substance. I really question whether the C/NET writers are really just a bunch of car-hating straphangers. Have they autocrossed, rallied, or attended a high performance driving school? Do they belong to any car clubs? My guess: NO!!!
Let's all get hybrids with lots of USB ports that we can use in the midst of our plastic recycling and going to our Fringe-religion services. Sheesh!

CNET should stick to electronics and leave cars to the experts. This car is definitely the ulitmate driving machine. I am curious to see what BMW will do with the new model's engine configuration.

CNET looks at cars from some sort of warped, technophobe perspective, while far too often downplaying the original INTENT of the car itself. That in and of itself is reason enough to take their opinions with many grains of salt.
I'm generally not a fan of BMWs, mostly because of the fashion accessory status their brand has acquired, but even I can appreciate the true intent and purpose that their engineers put forth in the vehicles. iPod connectivity and Bluetooth compatability are only mere footnotes to their cars real purpose for existence; if only CNET's reviewers bothered to take the time to understand and acknowledge that.
