Out of the gate, your comment about the coupe with manual transmission being the best combo is absolutely spot on. Years back I had a convertible with the SMG transmission. Both were a mistake. While I still feel that the E46 was are one of the most beautiful cars BMW ever produced (especially in the M3 trim), The constants squeaks and rattles and that horrible SMG transmission tended to ruin the experience for me. If I can ever get my hands on one of these again though, it will be a car with these specs! Enjoy!
@@talosiv4927 thank you🙏🏽... I never driven the SMG or Convertible, let alone a combination of both so it would be wrong for me to slander😂... BUT from what I have heard I believe many are in agreement with mine and your opinion😂👌🏽
Welcome to the party, had one for over 8yrs. Inner and outer rear arches alone to do right is 2.5k. Never ending. Did my B pillar trim too as was hanging off, perfect now. Also for titan shadow trim there is a guy on m3 cutters forum who is the closest to replicating instead of buying new.
What a beautiful car. The M3 aura really does shine bright light and privilege to my regular 2001 318i E46 that I own.
BMW was at its pinnacle when it had the E46 M3 and E39 M5 at the same time.
E39 M5 is getting added at some point 🔥
Had one 10 years ago I missed since, just picked up another one in a vert this time yesterday, can't wait to get it.
@@philipsgarage good luck with it! Special car!

The E46 M3 is my favorite BMW too but I mostly love the E30 M3 more because of its racing history.
exactly, it's perfection. e30 m3 for life.
I always keep my M3 detailed including the interior and engine bay. It still looks like it is in showroom condition.
The way forward

Someone quoted me more than I paid for the car for the arches😂😂😂
Probably the only reason the bmw m3 E46 gtr is famous is for need for speed
and all the races it won
Maintenance gonna be a bitch
Already is😂
