    The E46 M3 still holds up well today. It's a drivers car and still puts a smile on my face every time I drive mine. I don't have to be the fastest car on the road, but I know that there is something special about owning one and being able to enjoy every moment behind the steering wheel.

      E46 is a brilliant car, no question, but I like my E36. For me, while the 46 is a better sports car, the 36 is a better car to live with every day. After 13 years of ownership, It still thrills me every time I drive it. TBH I was quite pleased how well it stood up in the drag race, but I think mine would have been closer. For one thing, mine doesn't smoke when you rev it.... just saying

      It would be down to its lack of torque in the lower RPMs. You can launch it well without it bogging, and then it all comes in with the revs! Beautiful engine the S54 is!

Sure, the engine sound was incredible, the diff magic, and of course it looks really nice. However, when driving normally it felt like any other E46 to me, and the throttle pedal had an annoying lag at the top of it. Not for me.

      Traded my E34 M5 for it. Terrible decision. That E34 was fantastic. Unbelievable build quality and that engine! Wish I still had it.

      jame conradi , glad you enjoyed them. For me after the E34 m5 is was a massive disappointment. I then got an e39 m5, which is the best car overall I have ever owned. However the e34, last of the hand built ones, still was the dogs dangly bits. IMHO

    E46 m3 and e30 m3 are the best looking m3s ever. They've aged so well. Shame the e46 was riddled with issues. But this one is a manual! At least the owner has good taste

      This is real drag racing, not those automatics so you just press the gas pedal nonono. Manual shifter is where you need real skill and you depend a lot on your shifting skills.
