2004 E46 M3 SMG

In love with this vehicle. I have owned three of them. By far my favorite car to drive and own. Lots of fun to drive and play with. Fast and furious. Plus I have the LSB color and love it. Such a beautiful well made vehicle.

Best Performance Fun Car

Super fun performance car with amazing power and handling. Enjoy the detachable hard top during colder months and soft top during the summer. A little stiff ride but its a performance vehicle.

M3 Convertible

Couldn't be happier with this car. Begs to be driven. The SMG transmission takes some getting used to, but it is a blast to drive!

Great Car

I love the E46 body style, and the M3 is just amazing. It drives like a true sports car, and begs to be driven.

Performance, Style and Reliability

It runs, drives and handles outstanding. The solid build and great craftsmanship. The styling of this car is timeless. I've owned a few sports cars, and nothing can match the fun factor of the E46 M3. It makes me smile every time I drive it. Great power, great handling and great looks.

An ageless beauty

This car is a true enthusiast car. You can drive it on street and also track it. It is one of the most fun cars to drive. However it is not good for people who does not want to spend money as it is not the best reliable car. There are multiple issues with subframe paneling crack, vanos issues,oil leaks etc. But these shouldn't scare you if you are willing to spend some money and get an ageless car
