The 2008 BMW M3's roster of performance tech is amazing, from the double-VANOS system, to control fuel flow, to its engine, to the sport adjustable suspension, to regenerative braking to power its electronics.

Beyond some interface issues with the iDrive system, we found very little that could be considered bad about the M3.
