cmorales2831 I get flack for this. For starters the fake side vents. And the quad exhaust. just pure garbage imho. outside of that I find the front end to be wrong. it looks tacky and straight out of 2000 fast and furious. it's just off. I've always felt this way. I'm not fond of the tail light design either but that's not as bad as the other parts I listed. overall I find it too rounded and bloaty. ugly stock wheels too but that's easy enough to change. the Internet loves the looks but I think the majority are just following the heard mentality. there are far better looking bmws out there. e39 for instance. and even the e36 to me. however the e46 is far nicer than most of the modern crap. So it falls in the middle for me. and I own an e46 lol
My friend with a 525i e39 manual had that kind of knocks in first gear when at full throttle between like 4500rpm till redline, he changed something in the transmission, a rubber idk, he said 20$ and the knock gone off.
Ok so ive been looking at bmw cars and most ppl tell me they break down alot. Does any experienced bmw owner have there own opinion about this? I want one but dont want to have to fix it every week.
What an engine. Back then BMW used to make amazing sounding M cars. The new F80 M4 sounds like a garbage truck mating with a lawn mower. Such an awful sound. Complete sh*t!
Good in car audio but you consistently shift like 3 grand below redline. Also, don't wind out (not that you did) any quick car on any road with driveways (kids!) and cross streets. Find a clean back road in the country and make another video because though you really nailed the in car sound, you were simply driving too cautiously in the wrong environment to make a compelling video of the E46 M3 experience. Nice effort though. Enjoyed it.
I stand corrected. The SMG was far worse than the manual. I recall driving a Z4 with one, and it was slushbox. I still think the M3 owner made the right choice with the manual.
Ruined it with stupid smoked lights. Just get clear. And stock 2004-6 wheels look best. Plus why stupid kid racer red calipers? Anyway just my opinion I had mine in orient blue😄

Thumbs up if this is your dream car
Any e46 for me really.
I have this car in my driveway not even lying
@@carlosmenendezjr5662 same
@@lapjake6455do you know how i can get one for cheap
Even though it's produced like early 2000's, it already became one of their classics. Which means, it's astonishingly great.
the best 3 design ever, better than any newer design, by far. Great looking car
Yep, best looking BMW ever.
agree except for this exemplar
Timeless design
2001 E46 BMW M3 is one of my favorite design cars.
6 cylinder engine + manual transmission = real BMW.
LOVED this video. my dream car growing up. loved the angled shots you showed while you were driving the car, it was perfectly placed.
My manual swapped Volvo 850 T-5R and my manual E46 M3 are 2 of the best cars I've ever driven. So proud to own both :D. Nice drive as always.
I could listen to this incredible engine/exhaust all day. Incredible car
Beautiful, i love the e36 and e46 and e92
ma dream car thx winding road magazine my prayer has been answered
Man I wish they would do a 09 or under Trailblazer SS There are like one pov one and its very outdated and its not really pov
best bmw ever created , even better with manual transmission
Nothing like the sweet sound of a straight 6
Silence is golden.
die Sitze sind ein Traum😍
This is my budget dream car and would be my first car
I have a E46 318ci it's amazing car love it! Going to get a e46 m3 when I'm a little older as insurance is still very high even for a 318
BOOSTED KAYN I ended up with E60 M5 but unfortunately sold it now.
BOOSTED KAYN it was a hard decision
I remebered nfs mw
Hell yeah!
Akın Bozburun O som do motor é muito nostálgico. #NFSMW
Akın Bozburun no. the NFS MW was a BMW M3 GTR
Gotta love the S54
I miss your old walkarounds of your vehicles :(
That engine is a pleasure to listen to!
Great video man, makes me want to get one. I like the rims
I miss this sound in the new cars!
Where was this shot everything is so Green and open..
I used to love this car in need for speed way back on the game cube
Timeless design
cmorales2831 too ricey to be timeless
Euphorica curious to know what you think is ricey about the e46 design

Euphorica side vents aren't fake. Only right one is. One is used to cool the ECU
This is my favorite car, i love he!
I'll never get rid of mine
Me either
Ramo it’s a money pit 😰
Wonderful
My favourite ///M car
BMWSource lop
Need more winding roads on your test if you call yourselves Winding Road Mag lalalalalala
Long live the BMW straight 6!
6MT e46 m3 perfect !
4:31 that knock while in first gear
What was that knock exactly?
My friend with a 525i e39 manual had that kind of knocks in first gear when at full throttle between like 4500rpm till redline, he changed something in the transmission, a rubber idk, he said 20$ and the knock gone off.
Makes sense. It was probably the transmission mounts.
Do the 2017 Corvette Grand Sport and the new 2017 ZL1
One day I will buy this car, that is my dream ^_^
Ty
In my dreams since MW
Manual is the way to go with the m3 period!
😻💪🏽 Engine sound
Favourtie BMW
Completely unrelated to this video, but how did the BRZ handle in deeper snow?
Robert Niemi with skinny winter tires it does great in the deep stuff.
03:30
I almost bought one of these but with the SMG transmission
AwkwardYet the smg transmission has a lot of problems I heard
CykaBlyat666 many still love it
AwkwardYet swap it with manual. Sometimes, it's cheaper to get an SMG one then swap the tranny than getting a manual that's expensive as hell
I went to eat between shifts
EvoSvex wtf?
EvoSvex lmao
😂
EvoSvex IKR? I thought he was taking it easy at first then when he did the start on a straight road I figured, OK now he will get it right..... nope
Eric Henry It's not his car, and these fuckers eat through clutches.
идеально
Is this car fitted with a supercharger? There is this extra sound that I don't remember being on the E46 M3.
I didn't see one when they opened the hood. I think I hear what you're talking about though
The whistling noise is probably transmission whine. It is completely N/A.
Roger Mahajan Sounds like a performance transmission.
Ok so ive been looking at bmw cars and most ppl tell me they break down alot. Does any experienced bmw owner have there own opinion about this? I want one but dont want to have to fix it every week.
Michelin as3 by any chance?
That red leather mmmmmm I want it 🤤😩
Is this stock engine turbocharged?
E46 gen was naturally aspirated
What an engine. Back then BMW used to make amazing sounding M cars. The new F80 M4 sounds like a garbage truck mating with a lawn mower. Such an awful sound. Complete sh*t!
Roger Mahajan it's not as good as e46 but cmon its not that bad..
If BMW were smart, they would just re-make this exact car
If you were smart you would know that it would be impossible due to current emission and safety standards.
dodek1000 a man can only dream...
Is this stock?
kind of sounds like a quieted down M1 Procar in this

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice
Do skoda Octavia 2002
Plz
Skodas aren't sold in North America.
I didn't knew that
Sweet Volvo prancing moose t-shirt ha ha
Damn shame it's had angel eyes fitted, the E46 just looks too chav with them installed :(
Otherwise its pretty fine.
Night drive the shit out of this
Isso consome combustível igual avião kkkkkk
My uncle has a droptop version like this
Need for speed most wanted !!!
my gad gave me his m3 e46 but im 17 next year im 18 , he gave me already the key but i need to wait because its my18th birth day present
that blue e36m3 was way better
Bmw e92 m3
My looks same but i think my is louder ;)
He has a BMW like this but his is a drop top
Granny shifting
jest Renault kangoo 2002
why manual -____- it's slow
Maybe, but its a lot more fun than the DCT
...."why manual" ?
It's an SMG not a DCT.
I stand corrected.
The SMG was far worse than the manual. I recall driving a Z4 with one, and it was slushbox. I still think the M3 owner made the right choice with the manual.
those shifts are quite slow.....
It's too heavy. I miss my 1993 mustang gt 5.0 with 5 speed manual transmission.
Ruined it with stupid smoked lights. Just get clear. And stock 2004-6 wheels look best. Plus why stupid kid racer red calipers? Anyway just my opinion I had mine in orient blue😄
matthew herrera to each their own
THR true true
matthew herrera you cried hard on this one!
Red calipers only look good if you actual good brakes like brembos or stoptech
agree
