The best handling most fun to drive car ever.

I bought this car a year ago because I drove one like it in the Black Forest ten years ago and it was a blast I never forgot. This convertible's inline naturally aspirated 6 is the best sounding and revving engine ever! It has a Dinan exhaust which completes the package. With 19s al around it sticks to the road like glue!!I can't wait to drive it every time I can and hate storing it over the winter!!

I love everything about this car.

I love the styling of the car, the convertible that I have is a perfect toy car since you can put your top down and still get an incredible performance and handling.

Power, Handling, Engine Sound and a Blast to Drive

Someone told me when I was in the car after purchasing it, I had such a big smile and it's never gone away! I'm still smiling and love this car every time I drive it. Top down and enjoy the sound!

high performance sports car.

Beautiful to see, beautiful to drive. Not necessarily your everyday car. It is low, it is stiff -- but that is the characteristics of a sports car. Lots of quality features in addition to its performance.

I miss my baby

This was my perfect car. A dream. Once it was totaled (by an uninsured driver), 5 years after I purchased her, my insurance company reimbursed me for nearly the selling price. I could never have imagined having the privilege of driving this beauty for as long as I did, and it’s value maintaining over all of those years.

Timeless design one of the best M cars ever made

Great car fun to drive and definitely eye-catching maintenance is a little expensive it helps if you can do some of the work yourself fun to play with a lot of people underestimate the car they don't know a lot about the car but they find out real quick it's real sports car 2004 M3!!!!!!! With the work I've had done I'm pulling out 360 hp not bad for a older straight 6 cylinder no Turbo I wish I could put a picture of the car on here but I see no way to do it

Perfect for California

Sporty and fun! Love the convertible and has a lot of power. The handling is perfect. Love the body style and how fierce it looks.

The best E46 I have owned

This is my 4th BMW and my favorite so far. Even though the vehicle is over 10 years old, to me it's still the best looking chassis model. The interior is setup with the driver in mind and everything is slanted just a little bit towards the driver. The seats are comfortable, the engine is responsive and fun. This is my favorite BMW by far and I have owned an E46 325xi, e82 135i, E30 325 ix.
