    The steering feel is this particular car. My manual E46 M3 felt razor sharp. Also, a CSL carbon intake changes the intake sound to a wonderful rumbling one. Having owned several BMW M's I would say the E46 M3 manual is the purest driver's car. Sharp feel. Nice sound. And you can really beat on it without going too fast. Like go-karting on the streets. Great car!

Yes it’s not as quick as new cars but one thing I don’t know you not gonna be racing most of the time. Just drove 14hrs in a day & I could keep up with new models.This year with things being expensive I’m glad I traded my new bima for this old horse. My pockets ain’t hurting. I hate electric cars and all assistance features. when I buy a car I wanna drive it and i wanna feel the noise and gears that’s sporty for me. New cars are sissy built.

    I had a 2006 carbon black M3 with the competition package that I kept for eight years. That car was great, but I didn't like how heavy it was nor the maintenance costs. I put 88k miles on it. I told myself that I'd get another sporty car down the road and by then carbon fiber would be used more because it'd be cheaper. Little did I know that cars would just get heavier and heavier. Still, 3400+ pounds was just too much for me when I started pushing the car. It's still a great car though.

    @AutotopNL about the steering @ 9:40 you have to replace the "flexible steering coupler" after this it will steer sharp. Part number 32 30 1 094 703

    The e46 m3 had a deliberately slower steering rack for high speeds. They did three colour coded types. M3 was green, the 3 litre msports had purple, which was a quicker rack and blue for the csl and m3 clubsport models which were quicker still. I went from a 3 litre clubsport to the m3 and noticed the difference in steering immediately. Its a worthwhile cheap replacement to get a purple rack fitted and also the e39 shortshift fitted (better then the e46 shortshift)

    I disagree with "always go for the manual" If you haven't owned an SMGII and done serious mileage with it that statement is simply not true. An SMGII with the CSL software on it is simply a bliss on track, shifting quicker than you can manually, always perfect downshifts as if you heel & toe. Combine it with the Carbon Airbox & you'll have a hard time finding a car that gives you a similar goosebump experience. Yes it can get a bit bumpy around town and you should never ever drive it in automatic mode but always manually shift using the paddles or the lever.

      SPOT ON! Have you considered relocating the hydraulic unit? I did so, and now I can swap out the pump motor in less than 30 minutes the next time it fails (it’s not the pump that fails. The motor brushes eat through the commutator).

    Definitely worn steering components causing the dead centre. Mine is seriously tight and doesn’t have that silliness. The noise of that straight-6 always makes me smile when I drive it every day :-)

    Man this one is in an insanely good condition. It’s not cheap to keep those things running. Spent more than 5k on my 330i alone in the past few years.
    What you said about the steering is a bit strange to me, it should be much more direct.

    I drive a 2002 330ci and I absolutely love it. Mileage is getting a bit high so might need to search for a replacement, which will be another 330ci or an E46 M3. My favourite looking beemer ever.

    • @hyperthunk
      @hyperthunk 2 роки тому +1

      @अनिश् disagree but I do love that model too, if I ever see one with relatively low mileage I might pick it up. All petrol cars will probably be collectors items soon enough the way they're pushing electric now.

    BMW intake noise is so great. Exhaust pipe not as much, and that's why higher revs make the sound so much better.
