I personally went for a high mile, 1 owner, unmodified car. I also chose a 6 speed manual due to the reliability (or lack thereof) on the SMG. I wanted to be able to tinker and enjoy it, and saved A TON of money. My car may not be the one that rolls across the Jackson floor for $90K in 30 years, but it will be the car I had so much fun every day in.
Ah same, what are the details on your car?
@@Boostiverse It is a 2004 convertible in Carbon Black with a cinnamon interior. It has style 67 18 inch wheels with the cold weather package, navigation, Harmon Kardon sound, and Sirius radio built in. I have 217,000 miles as well. 😁
Right on!!! Enjoy it : )
I've had my 2002 for 10 years and love it still. Plan to keep forever.
I did the same thing, I bought a 155k mile SMG for 10k and everyone thinks I'm crazy because it needs some TLC, but i went under it and through it, checked out almost brand new, so for a couple of grand in cosemetic upgrades that I think should be done anyway, ill be in my childhood dream car and ill spank it on my way to work on the weekends :) I might end up putting in another 5-10k in it to get it to where i want it but i think the market for loved m3s is only going up, so maybe ill see my money back if i ever need to, but never plan on selling it
I love the E46 M3
That one of the best bmws of all time
E46 is my favorite design
Ashish Patel cop yo self one while there cheap lol
me too
My dad used to have an e46 325ci dark on blue on black. Was initially going to get an m3 but couldn't get approved. Still until this day I still love the e46 m3!!
just helped a buddy of mine rebuild an s54 from the ground up thanks for a broken vanos exhaust hub, all in rebuild was $6500 for a fully refreshed block, all new gaskets, machined head, upgraded vanos system, manual swap from an smg, and sub frame reinforcement. car should run forever after that and his total cost was under 15k. amazing cars at that price
A lot of car for the money. Hope he can drive it alot and enjoy it
@G Money Helped him mechanically. we did all the work in his garage. To his credit he figured out a lot of the more difficult stuff, i just stopped by as an extra set of hands and to help out with some of the simpler work that needed to be done
Nice , how much did get the car for originally ?
Comprehensive video for potential mechanical issues on the m3 e46....I will tell my son as he's looking for an m3 some time in the future 👍
Love the e46, I did a video on it and currently own a e36 m3 but would love to add one of these to my garage 👍🏽
Thanks for posting this! I plan to buy one in a couple years and hoping to find a clean one.
Any time!
I've owned my 2002 LSB for 3.5 years and never get tired of it. Chose the smg after driving a manual because it seemed exotic. Hated it for about a week until I figured it out. Now anytime I drive a stick shift I can't believe how primitive it feels. Never thought that would happen. The smg might be a little unrefined and awkward at first but once you learn to use the accelerator to make the car change gears smoothly it becomes second nature. My 2¢
Congrats on your car. I would love to own a LSB E46 M3 again
I always enjoy Glenn's expert reviews.
Thank you!
A caveat to the rod bearing issue - these need to be replaced roughly every 100k miles. If you're looking at a car, for example, with 110 on the clock that had the recall done at 10k you'll still want to budget 3 grand to replace them. Otherwise, spot on.
William Suess i have a 2005 model had them done at 99k mile. waa lucky the crank got slightly damaged but not bad.
If you have an SMG, YOU MUST INSTALL A NEW DUAL MASS CLUTCH.
That was not done with my car. Result: Destroyed drive shaft joints, bearing and guibo.
Rod bearing issue is for ALL MODELS. Even after 2003. Not a recall. It should have been. They are too tight. FIX: wait until the very thick 60W oil is up to a full 190 degrees before revving over 3K RPM. Disregard the lights in the tach. Be much more conservative than the moving red lights in your tach.
VANOS fix: Sort of. Mine cost $900. It was preventative maintenance. Replace external HP oil line. Replace 12 cam gear bolts with upgraded ones from BMW. RED Loctite. New upper cam chain tensioner. New Orings made from VITON. Inspect oil ring and horns of exhaust hub.
You can send the oil ring to a machine shop. They will redrill the cups that hold the exhaust tabs/horns with a closer tolerance than OEM. (less likely to rattle and break) The specs are online. They drill new holes at a 90 degree offset, so you dont have to get any new items.
I SHOULD have sent my solenoid circuit boards in as a core and got upgraded ones for a nominal cost of 200 or $250. I forget. Dr VANOS or Besian. The solder joints tend to CRACK in the OEM versions.
My welders used the best parts (plates) from two kits for reinforcing my sub frame. Kits came from TMS and HPF. Cost was $1000 in labor and materials beyond the cost of the kits. They went beyond what most techs do.
I understand the European company REDDISH has a great kit now.
Maintenance for the SMG: Have the tiny undersized 12V motor REMOVED, cleaned inside and inspected for wear. Mine just needed cleaning from a shit ton of brush dust. This build up will KILL your motor eventually. Bad or worn parts inside? There a few places in the USA that will send you a REBUILT one for cheap if you send yours in as a core.
There is a company in Europe (Burkhart) that makes a thicker SMG fluid than the stock Pentosin. $50 with shipping. This supposed to run the motor and pump LESS and therefore cooler. Need a tech with a computer to actuate the pump tp PURGE the old fluid out.
There is a guy on the M3 Forum selling a carefully crafted SMG pump relocation kit. The pump ends up in a MUCH cooler spot under the hood in the "smugglers box".
whats smg?
Good to know. thank you
Sequential Manual Gearbox, single clutch, no clutch pedal
Love the E46. Great car
I've owned one of these before and coming back to buy another can testify to this being a superb guide to the car. Nice one.
thank you. Check out my new video of the Mystic Blue E46 M3 that I just bought
@@GlennsCarCollection I hadn't seen your comment Glenn but been keeping up with the videos, that mystic blue is a stunning colour and looks a beautiful example Great work
@AzraeL with a few caveats. SMG pump motor will go around 75k as will clutch on the manual. Both $1000 jobs. Rear wheel arches almost always rust. Head gasket likely goes between cylinders 5 and 6 at some point above 100k. VANOS likely to have problems at similar mileage and a lot of people get the shell bearings done at the same time especially on pre 2002 cars as these are reported to fail. For the performance it's a lot of bang for your buck.
Super video - thanks
Glad you liked it
Mine sat on the driveway for around 4-3 years no oil leak, surprising for a BMW.
I can’t wait to get my dream car. Leguna Seca blue M3 SMG in a year!!
Sweet, I love LSB. thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel
Got one for sale 6 speed coupe grey interior 127k lmk
Best sounding aftermarket exhaust combo. By far. Perhaps not the best performing one, but ZERO rasp and nice Ferrari like wail over 6K RPM.
Megan Racing headers or better. Super Sprint stepped headers are the best but PRICEY.
MUST HAVE these exact parts: Borla Midpipe (close to $1k now!) El Diablo muffler, their standard one, not the race version. Your exhaust will be plenty loud if you get rid of the cats and combine it with the standard El Diablo muffler.
This set up eliminates the cats. That alone will gain you 25-30 RWHP. Car should Dyno at 300+ RWHP. I spent another 1K on a DYNO TUNE which got rid of the gassy smell at idle and gave me incredible throttle response. These mods were the BEST ones I did for the car. Better than coil overs! A good tuner will also lift your top speed limiter from 155 to 175MPH. He should be able to get rid of the CEL that will show when running no cats.
Great comment, thanks for sharing
i sadly only have a 330xi 5 speed the previous owner replaced everything tho and new clutch/flywheel new brakes new bilstein suspension i love it i wish it was an m3 it does have some crazy gruppe m intake thats carbon fiber , it makes it sound cool
Nice !
They can all have rod bearing issue regardless of year and even if they've already had the recall. Worth checking the oil pump at the same time as this was revised quite a few times over the years.
I just bought another E46 M3. check out the videos
I own a 2005 zcp (Interlagos/cinnamon) smg and havent had a single issue in 5 1/2 years.....except the mirror which everyone will have. Its my favorite color combo so Im sure Ill have it for some time!
brolly nice, I almost bought a former flood car just like that but with a manual, could have got it for $6500 lol ( * actually buys clean one for $12k)
nice spec, I had the mirror go on my Z3M coupe
Cool
I used to own an '06 E46 325Ci M-Sport Spl Edition (Right hand drive) in Monaco Blue with beige leather (Couldn't afford the M3 at the time). Sold it 5 years later for a 4WD. Despite all the preventive mnt that kept eating my wallet (cooling system, satnav reader, front window regulators and internal panel resealing), I still thoroughly enjoyed it and still miss it. Now the time has come to buy a second car to supplement the 4WD and am seriously considering a well maintained E46 M3 (or an F87 M2, which I reckon is the closest thing to an E46)
Nice choice on the wagon. I bought another E46 M3 after this video and it drained my wallet as well. 20 year old cars will do that. F87 M2 is a great choice and is the modern day E46 M3 in my opinion.
Drive the SMG like you would the manual like taking your foot off the gas as you shift and it’s great. It’s the perfect manual transmission. You have to replace the clutch in it as well since it’s also a manual transmission and most of the time if it breaks down, it’s a salmon relay which is a few bucks but the dealer will say it’s the pump to get money out of you.
Good point, Great comment ! thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel. More E46 M3 videos to come. Check out my video of the V10 M5 with SMG
replaced my salmon 2 months ago. first time in 15 years
Every SMG owner needs to have a spare Salmon relay in the car.
Awesome cars
I have a 6sp, Carbon Black one with 41K mi. All stock except for H&R springs. I was going to sell it to get a truck but decided not to. I haven't done the sub frame thing or VANOS yet. I think I'll look into the sub frame reinforcement issue next.
cool, hold onto it
a clean e46 is as much as a e92 now, which would you recommend and why??
Haha what a coincidence im actually going to see an e46 m3 next weekend and hopefully i leave with it!
Boi mine has 124000 miles and Ivwoujdnt sell it for less than 20k... subframe has been reinforced with a reddish kit and vanos has been bulletproofed! And obviously meticulously maintained... love my m3
Dope, I recently got one with 124k miles and it’s been great. The clutch did honestly start slipping almost right away but on the bright side now I have a stage 3 flywheel and stage 2 clutch 👌 no problems since
was wondering did u get it?
Boi did you get it
@@ambitionsskyyyy he didn't get shit.
That does make sense. Spend 15k and budget 5k for repairs. Just buy a good one at 20k.
great video. I will be looking for one of these in the near future. ON a recent episode of Wheeler Dealers , they converted a 2003 with an SMG trans to a manual . They said it was pretty easy because all the E46 M3 were built to handle manual transmissions . Is this correct ? Anyway , love the channel and I subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing ej. I just bought another E46 M3 myself. The Wheeler Dealer episode pushed me over the edge. Yes, you can convert SMG to manual but it is expensive. I was quoted $7k to convert so i just bought a manual car.
@@GlennsCarCollection $7 K is pretty expensive . OTH that price is a good argument for making a lower offer on an E46 with SMG . I guess I was encouraged by the Wheeler Dealer episode to learn that a conversion to a manual is simple from a technical standpoint. If I found a nice one in my area with an SMG , I would not be discouraged from buying it, IF the seller was very flexible on the price.
I recommend not drilling holes in the front bumper -- ruins the look. Tell your DMV to go to hell. I've gotten only one ticket in 15 years for no front plate.
I agree. most of my cars have no front plate unless the bumper was already drilled
...or get a tow hook mount for your front license plate to be in compliance with regulations.
An ASMR video of an E46 M3
I have had 2 e46 m3 black msg and imola red 6spd as a toy wouldn’t recommend it as a daily would get another one in the future
Always blown away by how cheap second hand performance cars are in the states (and the UK).
So many videos have e46 m3s which seem to be owned by 18 year olds lol.
In Australia a decent laguna seca blue manual is about 50 grand or a whole years salary for the average person.
I have no idea why used cars are so expensive here but it sure is annoying.
Wow, I assume they sold less in your country so they are more rare. Supply vs Demand
A single or maybe two owner high mileage car can be like 10k in the state’s.
I want the MFSMW parts on it :)
Just got a clean 2003 E46 M3 for 8.5k. No wrecks, fully stock. Recalls were done. The only downside is it's mileage sitting at a whopping 228k. I've been driving it for almost half a year now and I've only come across one issue. The control arm bushing on the front passenger is toast. Im playing it safe and replacing both control arms and their bushing mounts with OEM parts. 600 approximately in parts but not terribly bad. Rear springs need to be replaced too but it's not serious. Otherwise the car runs perfectly fine. Love it
awesome, sounds like you got a good one. I just bought another 03 E46 M3 a few weeks ago. Check out my first drive video posted last week
Here in spain you can not even consider getting one of these, they are like 25k Euros lol I hate second hand market here
Oh Wow, thanks for sharing and thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel
I can sols you my....25k
@@GlennsCarCollection in Norway they cost anywhere from $46800 and up sadly :( i do have a e46 320i tho and i love it the e46 are great cars!
Well in Portugal theire 70k and up, soooo... and then comes the gas price...1.7 e per littter pretty much forbides having a high gas consuming car...
damn, i bought one for 15k here in florida, coilovers, laguna seca blue color, manual, beautiful white wheels, momo steering wheel, and bride racing seats, also a couple mods in the engine including turbo
I have one. You can get a good idea of the condition of the rod bearings with an oil analysis. The clutch fan can make a lot of noise if worn, change it before it blows up and trashes the radiator. You'll probably have a lose of power if the vanos needs service. Great car, so much fun!
WINSTON SMITH was hoping someone was going to mention this. I get Blackstone reports once a year
Great comment, thank you for sharing and thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel
yes, I did Blackstone as well. thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel
I want Laguna Seca Blue
Would you believe I was just considering the E46 M3 at the moment when I discovered this video? I'd been craving an E86 Z4M coupe. Same engine. Maybe you can review and inform on purchasing one of those?
I hope he does that video too, but very similar issues I have heard (rod bearings, subframe, etc.)
@@ezrablasing I've read that by the time the Z4M came about, the VANOS leaking issue and the breaking VANOS hub had been cured/redesigned to be sturdier. Rear springs are prone to cracking. I think the Z4m's subframe should be inspected, just to be sure. Rod bearings were swapped out before the S54 was dropped into the E86.
Very good video, thanks Glenn. Will you let me know where do you find car offers in USA. I am living in Europe and i would like to purchase one from US. Thanks in advance, Pawel
Hi Pawel. Not sure how importing a car would work. Check Facebook and sites like Cars.com and Autotrader.com Good luck !
Hi Glenn a car import is working quite good, it is a good business. I was about to visit US, only shit covid. Btw how is covid in US ? Is it still so bad ? regards Pawel
Beautiful car but way too many issues too worry about for my taste. Lexus es 300h it is for me.
Had the issue with the rear view mirror, my clutch is going now @ 150 k. Also the headliner in the E46 will start to sag and all the molding around the windows, headlights and grill will crack and flake especially if your in a hot weather climate.
Great comment, thanks for sharing. I bet you still love your E46 M3. thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel, more E46 M3 videos to come
hard part is even finding (a clean example) one in the first place sheesh
that's true. I searched for a year to find mine
Learn who makes the bushings (Lemforder)and things like pulleys and tensioners (INA)
You can buy the EXACT SAME part on EBAY for CHEAP. The ONLY difference is that the part will NOT come in a BMW labeled box.
Learn how to work realoem.com find the BMW PART NUMBER and Bing search the number. You can plug the BMW part number in to Amazon or Ebay directly.
You will get a shit ton of aftermarket options. Many aftermarket parts are MADE IN GERMANY.
Chinese parts you should buy because they can be DIRT CHEAP and plenty OK quality: side view mirrors, gas struts for hood and trunk, fog light housings, front kidney grills in black(BETTER than OEM!). Dont buy Chinese BMW badges. They are crap. You have to buy the very expensive authentic BMW badges. Find the part number and Shop around. Plenty places discount real BMW parts. I get 90% of my stuff in TWO DAYS from Ebay or Amazon.
I really want one but I can’t find them anywhere in Austin
Ashley Michlle I just bought one here in Austin for 3k.
To anyone buying an E46 M3 the rod bearings recall means nothing you still need to get them done once the car nears 100k I own a 2004 E46 M3 so had updated bearings full dealer history only 3 owners guess what? I don’t the rod bearings @ 100k I go so so lucky get them done the recall doesn’t stop them wearing. Also the HG wasn’t mentioned in this vid which are prone to failing on 100k plus cars causes pinking sound. Also the vid talks about the bolts failing for the subframe it’s actually the RACP or boot floor the spot welds fail not bolts check your subframe by checking the rear left subframe mount make sure you wipe the chassis dirt hair cracks can be seen then. People say it’s only coupes & SMG’s that crack it’s not it’s all of them coupes,SMG’s, convertible, Manuals they all crack. The Vanos issues are solved by buying Beisan oil disc with tighter tolerances on the oil disc holes as stops the Vanos hub rattle and stops the tabs snapping. Deffo keep aside a good few £k for preventative maintenance and your be rewarded by one of the best drivers experience ever. Remember these cars were £50k+ cars (in the UK) the parts are still stupid expensive 👍🏻
Great comment
Glenns Car Collection really are great cars that are appreciating here in the UK too just need to do as many checks as poss with these cars as lots of people can afford them but not many can look after them correctly!! Greats vids bro
Thanks Lee, you're right affording the car is one thing, being able to maintain it is another
Just wondering i have a 2000 e46. Eould it be better and cheaper to convert to a m3 or sell mine and buy the m3 ?? I'm down in Australia. Cheers 🤙
You can’t convert one tho
@@Boostiverse cheers i wasn't sure some people said it could be done but most those people have no idea or will charge you to give it a go 😂😂👎 from what I've found and heard I'm just going to buy the M3 🤙
Hi Jaron, thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel. I would just buy the M3, you won't regret it
Good first car?
This was always my HS dream car. Imo they are too expensive now for a good one. Rather Z4M coupe interlagos.
Need to work on your volume levels. Can barely hear you at full volume with headphones. Otherwise thanks for the video!
David T. Sounds fine on my phone
It may be your headphones. Sounds fine to me.
No must be your ears mines fine
Hi mate which is better investment smg or manual ?
Manual. many SMG cars are being converted to manual.
SMG is garbage. They don't last. There's an episode of Wheeler Dealers on this topic.
So my 500+ HP stage 3 s4 just lost its engine. It will be down for a while and I’m looking for a temp. I found a 7,000$ high miled one owner SMG car. I commute maybe 1/2 a mile both ways so the car wont be driven much. Stay away?
Get a manual one much less headaches
I'd get a manual or have it converted to manual which many shops and people do. It's not too labor Intensive as the SMG is essentially a manual.
Never heard no rob bearing issue on the e46 m3 thought it was the e92 m3 as that issue
both can have it. 2001-2003 E46 M3 models had a recall on the rod bearings so they should already be replaced if you can get the service records
Hi which colour is this?
Laguna Seca Blue
I want one but my only question is why does this car get broken all the time
It shouldn't if you stay on top of the maintenance. Many have high miles and have been neglected at some point and therefore have a lot of deferred maintenance.
Glenns Car Collection thank you mate
@@GlennsCarCollection I had the same question Dan Boyle did. I absolutely LOVE the E46 M3 and thinks it's the nicest body style they've made. I looked into getting one about 2 years ago with the help of some encouragement from my M3-addict business partner and I am looking again. After doing some initial research 2 years ago, I went with a newer 2012 BMW 328 xdrive instead b/c of all the problems I read about particularly the sub frame cracking which even my partner admitted happened to one of his past BMWs. I simply can not justify paying the reasonable 10-12K for a nice E46 M3 whose sub frame may be cracked or might crack as I think that is an unacceptable trait to have to tolerate from a luxury car brand. Again, I love BMWs but I'm not delusional either and don't want a money pit. I also didn't like the fact that almost all of the used examples I found (and there are PLENTY out there for sale) had 5+ owners which made me leery and worried that something about them didn't make owners want to keep them for very long. I assumed that was because of the high cost of repairs if not the potential for major structural issues like frame cracks. So there's my dilemma preventing from pulling the trigger but I do love my 328 xdrive though!!
I love the e46 (all of them) so much. But such a fucking money put both of my e46 I owned have just been probems upon problems
sorry to hear, hopefully you can find a good one. thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel
There is no "subframe fix." The welding kits are only a prevention measure. If used as a repair, the weld in plates, all of them, act as a band aid, slowing down the inevitable doom of further cracking... It's the spot welds, all over the rear carrier panel that are the problems. ALL of them. That said, its MOST IMPORTANT to know if the subframe has plates installed, and if they were installed before cracking showed up, or after. If after, don't buy the car as the problem will return sooner than later.
Why do you think these cars range in price is so dramatic, from $8k - $30k. A 2004 - 2006 manual trans with under 150k miles would be the only place to start looking for a good one
I read the convertibles are safe in this regard because of the reinforcements from the factory but what about the hardtop convertible?
@@Texas_Cruiser nope, the reinforced unibody has nothing to do with how the differential stresses the rear panels, which pulls and tears out the spot welds, then floor panel tearing occurs. Happens on all e46s, even convertibles.
@@JohnFaire damnit lol. Well something I need to take into consideration then. Thanks man.
I might be crazy cause I bought my m3 lsb manual for 11k cash without even looking at the engine bay, I looked at the trunk for cracks but I didn’t even look hard. Basically I was there with the owner for only 20 minutes. Gave him the cash he gave me the keys and papers signed then drove back home 100 miles away.
It’s crazy cause I didn’t looked at the engine, what if it was only a 330 with m3 badging, the car wasn’t even original lsb it was grey. All in my mind was get the car then go home. Shoot I’ll never be doing that ever again. Not to mention I saw it on Craigslist with no engine bay pictures.
I want this car for my first car
Good luck
Great choice, I hope you get one. Thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel. More E46 M3 videos to come
I did it and would definitely recommend it 👌
Sauce Boss 420 how do you get the car with alcantara steering wheel
i believe its the zcp steering wheel. you can find them used, as well as buy replicas of it, but they're pretty expensive. you could always have the stock steering wheel wrapped in alcantara as a cheaper alternative
Why rod bearings go out so fast in these cars:
1. Idiots do not warm enough engine before they start revving.
2. revving those engines alot while not moving.
3. too long oil service intervals and WRONG oils
4. Winter usage without warm place to store this car
if you dont have warm place to store e46 m3 and its +2 celsius ( about 35F ) or colder outside, USE engine heater that warms your OIL ( 10w-60 is very thick oil... specially if its cold outside )
So i would change those rod bearings always after buying e46 m3 IF i couldnt be 100% sure how that car have been serviced and USED.
Great comment, very true. thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel. More E46 M3 vids to come
I bought wrecked one from a salvage auction sight unseen a few weeks ago. And I'm 19 years old
I can write a TH-cam comment. And I’m 7 months old

yep, just bought one. Cooling system was replaced. subframe is good
Whats the problem with the coolingsystem?

@@joemama38 why, because for $30,000 you can do so much more then buy a e46 m3? I've already owned one and I would buy anotherone but not for 30k

SMG F1 technology baby and also m3 engines are the new jz engines. The new fucking supra is a BMW z4.
Stay away from SMG cars as if they had leper!!
A transmission that “has” a human? Presumably as a pet? Seems advanced
although a manual swap is under a grand if you go for a self centering shifter like the cae or rtd, as long as you do the work yourself
plantedrabbit3 no it’s not it’s 13,999 and causes accelerated spurving bearing failure and puts stress on the smg subframe which along with the bearing problems is sure to lead to side fumbling of the wayneshaft, almost guaranteeing all 6 of the hydrocoptic marzlevanes are shredded and the logarithmic casing will burst and the prefabulated amulite baseplate will be unable to hold the force any longer and boom, a little sidefumbling caused by a trans. Swap renders the entire turbo-encabulator unit, and everything driven by its shaft, metal soup, which hopefully you’re going slow enough to catch because s54’s will eat that soup if given the chance 77% of the time, as much as 90% of cases if the marzlevanes indeed vaporize
It’s just not worth it, best to stay away from smg cars unless you’re familiar with them and don’t mind them/their costs etc.
No sun roof no want. I need my sun roof
They are all broken lol
