323Ci here, and I completely understand your love for it, even the interior! It's an amazing car really, and although it does have some creeks here and there, it still feels very solid. Yours is beautiful, and I love the carbon bonnet. You should definitely add LED taillights tho, they make the car look so much up-to-date. Also the film that BMW put on the plastic inside, can be removed by soaking it in hot water, and brushing it off with a sponge. Did it on my 323Ci, and it became like new!

More than a few of us in Colorado have a lifted Yota for mountain off-road fun, and a fast German car for mountain pavement/city fun. I had a 97 4Runner Limited with a locker and a 3" lift paired with a '16 Golf R with a stage 2 tune. Black ice took the 4Runner from me so I got an 04 V8 and built it up with 33" wheels with a 3" lift, and put some Doug Thorley headers on it for a little HP bump. She moves! The downside is that you scream at your German fast car for it's silly unreliability compared to its Japanese garage mate. Got sick of the R and sold it to start flying airplanes. No regrets. lol

As an owner of an E46 M3 ( my dream) it's a love hate relationship. Mostly love little hate. What I've learned from this car is the 2 main things that has been done to the car rod bearings and subframe. Subframe still cracks even if you done the reinforcement (heard few stories). Rod bearings still go out after constantly revving out to 8 or 8350. But overall it's an amazing car right proportions and spacious (I have the coupe which is faster). Took to twisty roads and it's agile and responsive( subframe bushings been changed to solid). This is BMW at its prime and still one of the best cars to own. Track car and a GT(does both)

I wish James would be able to drive one like that to fully understand how well put this machine is. I have replaced everything with carbon fiber inside and added a 1080p touch screen oem look that has car play and android auto. Only thing left for me is to try to add ambient lighting. Everywhere I go people come up to me to tell me how this car was one of their favorite cars ever made.

I had an '03 coupe that I bought new. The best word to describe it is "raw". Suspension was punishing on all but smooth roads, clutch was stiff, constant shifting was not optional, passengers hated it. Engine was an absolute gem when on the boil, and really anemic below about 4500rpm. It made wonderful singing sounds as you revved it, and was as smooth as glass. But as a daily driver it wore me out. I traded it for an 07 335i, which was a much better daily driver and pretty close in overall performance. Best car ever? Hardly.

My GTI is turbo’d and has gobs if torque, but with that comes turbo lag and electronic steering, which happens with the new M4’s like yours. My stock E90 with much less hp and tq than my GTI was kids funner to drive, because revving our an engine is just funner. Don’t get your panties all wet bragging about your M4.

I have one of these, It's the best, nothing has ever gone wrong and it looks great with roof up or down. Only downside, bit of rust on front arches. The best thing is, it hasn't got emails, lane control, auto braking or any of that modern crap. It doesn't even have cup holders but best of all, it's got an actual key..........brilliant!

I have an e46. For the central lock and hazard light you might be able to fix it by simply taking it out, disconnecting the wire, blowing on it (clean it with contact cleaner maybe?) and pop it back in. Worked on my one and a friend's one.

Loved my e46 328i. Best driving car I ever owned. Sold it with 320K on the odometer for more than I bought it for. If you stay on top of the maintenance and take care of it, a E46 can last a long time and will bring a smile to your face every time you drive it.

Thomas if by chance you ever read this (Which I doubt lol). The reason your hazard and lock buttons don't work is again because of BMW's plastic in the early 2000's. Underneath those buttons the bottom of the actual switch cartridge has broken out so that they no longer engage. You can order a new button cartridge which easily clicks into place from Ebay for just a few bucks. I had the same thing happen as have many other E46 M3 owners.
