Drivers car
The e46 m3 in one of the last of the real Bmws, classic bmw handling and a manual trans. Built like a rock and extremely easy to drive and enjoy. Maintanance is also classic Bmw so be prepared to feed its hunger.

Most fun car I?ve owned
This is a future classic, prices on the e46 M3 are already rising. Out of other high performance BMW, Mercedes, and Audi, this car is by far the most fun to drive.

High performance in an affordable package.
Easy to upgrade (e.g. DINAN) and can actually fit 4 people. Strong motor from the famous E46 series and stays glued to the road. Though a smaller convertible, it is heavy and solid giving a very safe feeling. Also, you can actually have the top down with golf clubs or groceries in the trunk!

One of the best performance cars I have owned
This car has great performance and road holding abilities. Mine was a convertible and great summer fun. If you ever get the chance to buy a M series go for it you will not regret it.

You won't regret buying this vehicle
Anyone who looks at buying an E46 M3 should know what they are getting into. Its a 15 year old car, so don't be surprised if you run into problems, however, this is the most satisfying vehicle I have ever driven. It's just so brilliant in every way. Finding the right one may take some time, but when you do find the right one, you'll never get bored with it.

One of the best used sports cars for the money
Everything you read about these is true: fun, classic good looks, and a subtle sportiness that's a lot of fun w/out being obnoxious. My advice - pay the premium for a lightly used, low mileage M3. These cars tend to either be abused or baby'd and the ones that are well cared for will provide years worth of enjoyment and reliability. Maintenance and repair costs actually not as bad as sometimes rumored. Keep in mind these cars are designed by BMW's racing division and many little steps taken to make them surprisingly easy to work on for the backyard mechanic - don't be intimidated - they are quite easy to work on! If you opt for the SMG tranny (fun to drive but not a REAL sports car experience IMO) make sure you get the rear end checked out first as there are many documented cases of the excessive torque that is incurred by the sheet metal on bottom of car at point of attachment to rear end will ultimately fail and the fix is expensive. Have fun - great cars!
