Great Car 20+ Years Later
by RDP83 on 3/15/2025 12:45:48 AM
I have an '02 convertible with the SMG transmission, which I love. I've had the car for five years and have done a lot of maintenance to it (will actually be servicing the rod bearings next week) and it runs and drives amazing. Sure, it's >20 years old, so the modern equivalent is superior in many ways, yet this M3 has become a true BMW classic with a masterpiece of an engine. A true driver's car. - 5.0
Dream sportscar!
by V licious on 11/20/2022 7:35:02 PM
The E46 M3 is a line that most automakers try to step over but most can't. These ultra capable 333 horse power beauties will make you smile at the acceleration but make you GRIN at the handling. These gems are holding value and soon be on most collectors lists - 5.0
Unbelievable!

This is a true driver's car! It's no wonder this particular year/model (2001 E46 M3 - naturally aspirated manual trans) is among the few that are actually *appreciating* in value! You're glued to the road and the steering is so tight it's unreal. It's almost like an extension of me - like "I want to go there" and it responds as though it knew what I was thinking! The power can throw you back in your seat - such a thrill to drive! I don't even listen to music because I want to hear to the car and focus on what I'm doing. I bought it a few weeks back, and because of its low mileage (53,000) & mint condition, told myself that this was an "investment" - that I'll keep it a few years and then sell it for double the price, but every time I drive it, my plan evaporates. I bought a custom cover for protection from the elements, birds, dings, etc. since I don't have a garage, and drive it mostly when my trip includes highways (at least once a week.) Bottom line: If you love BMWs, this is one you want in your fleet!
