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 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.

Had SAG (Silly Ass grin) the entire time watching this. I missed my E46 M3... which also had a Borla exhaust. :)

There's 2 cars I've always wanted, an e46 m3 and a classic Mini Cooper. I have a e46 325ci and a 2005 Cooper S. Anyway I love seeing these care in the hands of people who appreciate the car and drive it like it was meant to be driven!

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.

Never have I watched a video of someone who exactly feels the same way as I do about my e46 M3. Even right down to the shitty cup holders that come out when you try to fit anything other than an extra slim Starbucks cup

I agree Thomas the E46 M3 is timeless
