[@e46m54nissansr20937]

The E46 M3 will ALWAYS be my favorite 3 series M its just so pure ///M

[@R19Robbin]

After all those years it's still such a beautiful car 🔥🔥

[@CGF101]

$140k I’m getting a used Porsche💯

[@VehicleVirgins]

the owner of this car created Guntherwerks, so he's got a porsche in addition!

[@baibureh8816]

Now that every automotive journalist and youtuber have claimed Porsches are the best car ever made, everyone has now made them their " dream car"

[@MarcSob22]

Still prefer the M3

[@dnice362]

You know the owner? lol

[@gr0schibre572]

$140k I’m getting a real CSL M3 and add real brakes & manual gearbox.

[@eureka3695]

that pause when he saw the cop 🤣 Sikud review though

[@rabmc]

The original E46 m3 rasp all day long for me, I would never want to lose that.

[@entropy8000]

They looked good in every color too

[@e46m54nissansr20937]

Every single color

[@GotThrottles]

Videos like this are why I’m unsure if I’ll ever sell my E46 M3, even after a decade of owning one.

[@fvresonanator]

Wing vent to cool the ecu? That's complete nonsense 😂

[@ericmeshenberg3332]

I bought a fully loaded made to order 2003 M3 Manual from BMW Cleveland in 2003. I had a full Dinan Upgrade, short of the supercharger. When Steve Dinan was still the owner of the company, he called me. Evidently I was the only one to have this conversion in Ohio. $63,000.00 for the car and $87,000.00 for the upgrade. I have a chance to compare my car to a stock manual M3 at Mid Ohio Race track. So much improved in handling and comfort ! Just the Dinan Wheels cost me $15,000.00 . When I sold it to a collector, he told me he would have offered considerably more in it didn't have a sun roof. Evidently you can't race a car, even with roll bars , when it has a sun roof.

[@mocheen4837]

I still have my M3 manual sitting in the garage. I have the full Dinan suspension, springs, shocks, sway bars, strut tower braces, camber plates, intake , stage 2 tune, floor mats and pedals. I now have 85k on the odometer.

[@Snappy650]

I still have the Dinan supercharger, on BBS LM’s. lol

[@Snappy650]

Threw out the Dinan for Öhlins

[@F48l4N99]

The E46 is my all time favourite BMW and this one is crazy 😮

[@Beasttboydaksh]

hey parker i am watching your videos since 2016 as a subsciber i just wanted to give an advice your car reviews are amazing i watch them but i kind of miss your vlogs like an normal style vlog i would love to see vlogs from your channel as you did in past thank you so much for making such awesome videos take care

[@ChevyBM]

That is a beautiful car and I really like the SMG transmission, however in daily driving it is a bit rough but then again who gives a shit it is awesome!

[@dougie8010]

Aaahhhh ok you need a driving lesson on using the throttle correctly...watch from 4:05

[@ddburks19]

That m3 sounds monstrous I love it 😀 😎😎😎

[@VehicleVirgins]

Sounds mean!

[@jasonmillington4344]

You should get some of these classic BMW, even if not the M class and do some upgrades and drive the buts of them. E39, E46 .... So many cars to tune and content, even if it has been done before, the technology now will make everything better

[@VIPER1149]

BMW M3 E46 is a iconic car to me thanks to NFSMW

[@VehicleVirgins]

such an icon

[@SHELBY13GT500]

Fantastic car and review!

[@mittortz]

the fender grilles are $1500 lol. Trust me, I want those grilles BAD but that's exactly what I would define as "crazy with spending" even by itself Awesome video tho, for real. Thanks for really driving the thing, Peter created perhaps the only M3 that I would covet as much as a CSL.

[@chrisvam]

The perfect M3 is definitely a manual

[@lawrenceblairjrr]

great video/update, I'll be buying my e46 build this year, yours is definitely amazingly built

[@philipniva3276]

Are you cancelled or whats up man? Used to watch your E39 videos over and over again years ago. Just found you again searching for the Lotus Emira

[@sinist3rr]

can you give me the wheel spec of this car? tires and rims sizes?

[@Kdubzlovescars]

Why is this not a 6speed..

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

Vehicle Virgins Awesome Review I think that BMW E46 M3 looks and sounds absolutely incredible and I definitely agree that 140k looks worth it and I can't wait to see what you'll review next

[@uklmngubane5661]

Amzing car: those seats: wow: were can one find them

[@gintonic8330]

E46 M3s are a timeless design, but this thing is hideous. This kit does not modernize the E46 M3.

[@1954telecaster]

The perfect M3

[@e46m54nissansr20937]

As an E92 owner I say yes

[@dexietyy7922]

The only M car I’d ever buy hopefully I can afford one, one day I will never own anything other than an E46 now

[@trentmeister6001]

Classic Parker 🤙🏼

[@idonjohnson6999]

Is it still good? Then use a stock car to make that comparison, not a fully modified one.

[@melmjeff]

The look back at the police. Priceless

[@VehicleVirgins]

hahaha

[@clayzforex8168]

He thought the cops might think he's the Most wanted driver 😂😂

[@KCJbomberFTW]

This vs an AMG GTR would be a wild comparison

[@MisterMxyzptlk1972]

Yes, still amazing in '24. Bought mine at 265k, going for 500.

[@e46m54nissansr20937]

265k wow

[@the.phqntom]

In my opinion,E46 with a V8 is ultimate

[@ItsMikeArre]

Honestly I rather keep it looking stock and spend all the money they put on the M3 on maintenance and a supercharger and anything left over on suspension tires etc don’t get me wrong the carbon pieces look awesome and I would love them but I rather slap a sc and instantly get over 400hp 😂

[@fatoputso7375]

Ugh ugly.. why try to modernize these e46s and e36s when they already look great and aged so well stock?

[@AmineTrabelsi-d9n]

didn't he dropped this video before

[@Not4YourKnowledge]

Sorry but no, there's a E46 M3 in the community that has actual Senna seats, but this is a close 2nd

[@thrillone]

the car of every 2000s kids dream, keep up the great reveiews

[@VehicleVirgins]

Thank you! I’m a 90s kid and it’s a dream car too!

[@rustkotetotalcare]

What a beautiful example

[@PepperRoney77]

Im sorry but the original side vent is still king in regards to its looks.

[@eastsideofthetracks8311]

Loll all those mods and still left the shit smg trans

[@tdlaustralia7791]

Great video

[@catsaretasty]

Intake and exhaust is not 50 hp😢

[@MattR-d3n]

Smg is better Parker period correct and ahead of it time

[@bbazzracing]

I still want a e46 m3

[@taleon2001]

rather just buy a 330i and get a sedan for a 10th the price 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@pilotM3]

Absolutely no comparison between them!

[@strongme80]

I'm still restoring mine....been a year now 😞

[@jakegianino5762]

Ehhhh the seats and side grilles and 3 piece wheels take away from it. I’d prefer something period correct like BBS alloys, blackout grilles, and CSL or M-rain interior.

[@kakashi99908]

You are getting older parker it is time to get a real job maybe at a car dealership or costco. Time to grow as a human.

[@itsmuruk7199]

Am i tripping or does the hood go too high up?

[@alexjag5778]

Great video ! After passing that cop your expression lmao

[@VehicleVirgins]

haha thank you! If he was paying attention he'd have heard me ripping for the two minutes prior to reaching him

[@agostinhojosealexandre5594]

Please tell us; those front seats, who made them??

[@zxssded]

Title is super misleading. was expecting a stock is it still relevent in 2024 video, not, here is the wildest E46 if moeny was no problem video.

[@edventures9884]

Those bucket seats are beautiful!! Holy smokas. But honestly for $140k imma go look for a 911 gt3

[@Tom-db6cq]

Witch diffratio?

[@DonBMW]

$140k hard pass! I have an 06 M3 Interlagos Blue w a manual trans that I bought for $18k many moons ago. It’s an awesome car and I love driving it. But to drop that kinda of money on it I would never drive it. Mine is in great condition but definitely not pristine. Wow!!

[@andrethevegan_]

Mine is in the shop right now unfortunately

[@MIKEICELILBERG]

140k is wild but I can’t knock it

[@efoff652]

And it is still an SMG??? 😭🤯

[@davidramez6219]

OMG, it's Porker!

[@scratch90]

Nothing presented new in this except the seats.

[@xLordStormx]

only thing wrong is no 6spd

[@Haddis77]

Saw the SMG and left

[@mocheen4837]

Looks like Topaz blue.

[@samwisee]

Yeah it’s amazing but for $140k? You can get a 991 GT3 for that money

[@ericm8368]

$140k and they left it SMG?! smh

[@kndli67]

Hi Parker

[@frontspring1]

Really 140k and u got a smgtrash transmission.

[@darthvaper6745]

140k in getting an older R8

[@blues3531]

Not with those cringe ball side vents.

[@s_class7027]

Vintage Parker.

[@michaelcrawley9580]

140k for a SMG trans. Lol

[@4litrespoolyboi206]

Bro….stop touching the paint.

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

Notification Squad

[@VehicleVirgins]

lets go josh!

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

@@VehicleVirgins let's go Parker

[@5000XTDC]

J'ai faim😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@VehicleVirgins]

same

[@SidorovichJr]

still amazing it will be forever, stop clickbaiting like sht

[@gregs8685]

50 hp from intake and exhaust on a 3.2 333 hp engine? I would maybe believe 350 hp.

[@alexescobar195]

yoo first

[@VehicleVirgins]

hell ya

[@Reaperguy67]

It's not a race 😂

[@RCR-f9d]

The E 46 M 3 is a joke at this time! Back in the day it was cool! The present day M 3 makes this car look like a bad dream! Don't keep living in a lie! Step up or shut up!

[@user-nm7ot9mj5n]

Tu parles trop

[@bigolbootycheeks9138]

In my opinion, once BMW went to forced induction, their cars really lost their touch. Immensely powerful and fast these days, but so is every other car from every other manufacturer. Everything revolves around big power output from turbo motors.
