Midlife crisis: I bought an E46 M3 convertible

[@bellaollie2037]

best car i have ever owned - i was skeptical when i first got the vert but after having both a coupe and vert - VERT LIFE is a real thing- the feeling of dropping the top at a push of button is just incredible ... enjoy her , shes a timeless model - needs a little extra love and care but shell treat ya right

[@bearfoot6910]

I'm 48 and just bought my first BMW. I've owned a couple of R1200GS motorcycles, but never a car. I got an 2002 E46 M3. Carbon Black cabriolet. I did not get nearly as good of a deal as you did, but I'm super excited to finally own this icon.

[@EliteBimmers]

Congratulations! My title was clickbait. Any age is a perfect age to own one of these cars! I regret only one thing: not buying it sooner.

[@redmgf96]

I bought my 02 carbon black convertible three years ago at the age of 75! Age has nothing to do with it. I love every minute of it. Especislly the SMG, which is ideal for my age...easy driving.

[@fawadali135]

Oh man. I did exactly the same thing two weeks ago. The car is still in transit and I can’t wait. I’ll chalk it down to mid life crisis too. Mine looks exactly the same from the outside down to the wheels. Interior is black.

[@EliteBimmers]

Congratulations! You will not regret getting it!

[@evan9536]

Greatest mass-produced BMW ever made. Congrats my friend - you own one of the most iconic and timeless BMW’s of all time. Not to mention it’s my dream car, enjoy it!

[@EliteBimmers]

Thank you! I really enjoy driving it. It's so much fun! In my humble opinion it's one of those cars where manufacturer nailed it. Even 17 years later it is stylish, fast, and enjoyable to drive.

[@evan9536]

EliteBimmers couldn’t agree more. It also has a humble amount of power for an “M” car. You won’t lose any little red light race you get into, but you also won’t attract unwanted attention from the police. The perfect balance of class and sport.

[@williamgreen9280]

2004 330Ci manual vert. My dream car is the m3 though and I plan to get one after my first internship or career job after graduation

[@kieronrobinson6502]

I’m UK based and bought my vert E46 M3 2 years ago. If you want any advice on my experience let me know. I have spent a few thousand UK pounds on subtle improvements (mods) and essential maintenance. It’s a wonderful car, enjoy it!

[@audisportcarrasco]

My e46 2005 M3 got 32k my 1999 e36 M3 got 150k I Love them just need e30 M3 Now

[@dr77450]

Thanks for the video. Similarly, I bought an '03 M3 Vert Alpine White/Cinn about 4 years ago and experience the same BMW joy. It was very well maintained and I've only had to redo the brakes and a new battery. I plan to keep it for a long time.

[@EliteBimmers]

Cinnamon interior is such a great color choice for convertible!

[@jre617]

Nice; good colors. This is my idea, an E46 M3 convertible. Maybe it's my cheap laptop speakers, but not too crazy about the Borla sound. Thanks for posting.

[@brocklewis8356]

It def is ur speakers

[@Arch_Angel_Micheal]

Not a mid life crisis a passion

[@TonmoyGhosh]

I’m having a midlife crisis ans about to buy a silver e46m3 convertible

[@RaptorN]

Love the e46 m3, good choice

[@EliteBimmers]

Thanks! 👍

[@daleymediagroup4885]

I just did the same thing. I’m new to BMW cars and didn’t realize what a m3 was and ended up buying a beautiful 2001 330ci. My other daily is a Jeep Wrangler so the 330ci manual transmission is plenty fast for me!

[@EliteBimmers]

Congratulations on your new ride! 330ci is a great car! Brings tons of fun and a lot cheaper to keep up with the maintenance.

[@brandoncook8300]

Beautiful car man. I have a 2006 e46 M3 Mystic Blue 88k miles. Love it

[@qix76]

Lol! Apparentely we drive the same exact cars! :) E46 M3 + 5 e61 (mine is a 530d though) . Congrats for the M3! A fantastic car!

[@EliteBimmers]

Thank you for your comment! Yes, I’m very satisfied with my current stable.

[@abdharr3761]

I’m about to buy one next week. Let’s go

[@livewoutlimit]

Great deal you got. You can't find them under $13k in the northeast for this kind of condition & mileage.

[@EliteBimmers]

Thank you! So far the ownership of this car was great! Enjoying summer and 6-speed manual.

[@rockermarco]

lol, I was just trying to figure out how much money I need to buy another 911 (cabrio.) If not mid-life crisis, spring fever!!!

[@EliteBimmers]

911 cabrio is an excellent choice!

[@sergeipetrashevich1123]

It’s totally fine to owned such a car in any age. Nice good luck! And add more videos with maintenance, or just driving. And last what the price

[@EliteBimmers]

Will do!

[@fuadizharuddin4797]

Ultimate driving machine

[@dutchymarketing5218]

Enjoy , I have the same car in Topaz blue w hardtop. Great cars.

[@blanchbacker]

Just got mine with 26k miles I couldn’t believe I found it. Loving it but I’m trying to track down where the leak is coming from, I think the convertible top drain

[@EliteBimmers]

Wow! 26k miles! Nice! Congratulations!

[@Chaluxama]

Very nice car! Beautiful! Love the car and the vid Liked the Road trip to :) But the exhaust... horrible..... :( I Think you should get eisenmann (or anything) instead..

[@lulo048]

Enjoy it! very nice one... it's my dream car but here in Belgium I wil pay between 20 and 30k EUR for the car, to get the number plate another 3k, insurance 1,5k p/jaar, taxes 1,8k p/jaar..

[@EliteBimmers]

Oh wow! :(

[@samsrides6197]

Beautiful car bud. Congratulations 🍾🎊🎉

[@EliteBimmers]

Thank you!

[@borzouazabdaftari5620]

I just did the same brother - congrats

[@vihaansharma845]

Lovely bro.. Congrats and enjoy it

[@EliteBimmers]

Thank you!

[@chadvu396]

There no such thing as midlife crisis owning an M3 , don’t know about your country but in the UK you don’t really see young people owning these types of cars it’s the older people that own them, great car I’ve had mine since new and I’m now 44

[@EliteBimmers]

I’m currently residing in the USA, and I think it’s a stereotype most people have here: once you hit 40 you get into a middle life crisis. But honestly I wanted a convertible BMW as long as I remember myself. I'm 41, and I feel like my life just started:)

[@gloglo1275]

EliteBimmers I have an e46 m3 vert. I’ve wanted one since I was in my early twenties. Now 44 finally got one. I drove my stepfathers 2019 corvette and I would not pick that over my m3. Sorry corvette guys.

[@Stuart3162]

@@EliteBimmers I’m in the UK. It’s the same here. I watched this video by chance. I’m 41 and bought the E93 M3 at a whim. Always wanted an E46 but did other things with my money. I feel time is running out to enjoy these cars before we all have to drive electric self driving cars 🤭

[@CryptoVladyka]

@@Stuart3162 Congratulations! Really great car to own.

[@muhammed_aydogdu]

Nice car.Have fun :)

[@EliteBimmers]

Thank you!

[@ef9hatchy]

Wow such a good deal

[@EliteBimmers]

I think so too :) I am very happy with this car. Puts smile on my face each time I drive it.

[@thiswasmytumblr]

I feel like we beat ourselves up and value others opinions more than we value ours. We know what this car means to us, so I get you! I have a 323ci vert but have been looking for a M3 vert! Super tempting! Have contacted a few dealers as well. Is it the best decision? *shrug*

[@thiswasmytumblr]

Came back to say I bought a 2005 silver gray / cinnamon vert! Haha cheers.

[@EliteBimmers]

Nice! Congratulations! The cinnamon interior is an awesome color!

[@tempooo31]

enjoy ,,,great car

Interested in selling it?

[@EliteBimmers]

I sold it (and other BMW) already. Needed money for a property purchase.

That’s a really nice bike! I wanted a bike too, but my wife would not approve this purchase 🙃
