When the temperature is above 70, the car puts itself in

July 24, 2025
By William Elliott from Erial NJ
Owns this car

When the temperature is above 70, the car puts itself in neutral. This is dangerous and inconvenient, as we can not use the car in the spring and summer. This is the BMW 2003 M3 SMG transmission.

Always Been my Dream Car

By MakeMericaGreat from Radnor, Pennsylvania
Owns this car

I fell in love with the E46 M3 back in the days of high school. The styling, the handling, the aggressive fenders -- it was something to drool over at the time and age. I could not be any more proud of happy to own this car.
