    For me the E46 followed closely by the E92 are BMW’s best looking M3’s. Peak BMW design

      He is awesome! I gotta say: he makes our videos look better, without even driving the car hard. He's just fun to talk to, has great stories and best part: he's always gracious. Next step is to get him to sing.

    Thank you for the video! This brought back a lot of memories for me. I had a 2004 (E46) M3csl with SMG2 in Silver Grey Metallic with a Black leather interior. It had a 45mm front disk and the rear had a larger diameter piston.

      How did you like the SMG2?

      @@bmwblog I would still prefer a manual, but the SMG is extremely engaging and predictable. Sure, it doesn't shift instantly like modern double clutch boxes, but it is super rewarding when you get in tune with it. I would own one again.

    Haha Bill said "This poor car is never gonna to be the same" not "Sportscar"... followed by him pretending not to know how to use a clutch, he was implying he was going to destroy the thing

    I love my e46 m3, it's a really good car. It was the car that got me into bmw's and into cars in general. I've gotta say though, I think it's a slightly overrated car. The steering is great, handling is great, it's fast, sounds awesome but I just think it's a car you get bored of quick. If you have a collection of 10 or more cars I think it's definitely one you need to have but if it's your only weekend car you'll definitely get bored of it. I genuinely feel bad saying that because I think it's one of the coolest cars of its time. Either way, still a great car.

    With the limiter removed you can reach 174 mph flat out. Not bad for a car produced from 2001.

      Hey clown, according to Corvette Forum, the M4 beat the C8. Facts don’t care about your feelings boomer.
