E46 M3
- Thread starter inkey$
- Start date
Been there and had to sell because I thought I needed rear seats when my first was born. Big mistake selling, although it did eventually lead me to some other special cars.Mr Tidy said:inkey$ said:
If you don't need rear seats just save some money and buy a Z4M. No boot floor cracking to worry about either!
For me, the E46 M3 would need to be manual in steel grey with cinnamon interior, and the first thing I’d do is get the boot floor/diff hangers looked at and reinforced.
One of my fav cars of all time. Like go karts to drive.
My dads first M car and have vivid memories, basically the reason I bought a Z4M coupe instead because I couldn't afford the insurance for the M3 as was £3000 and the Z4M was £800. The Z4M was also super cheap back in 2011.
This was my dads. Titanium silver black leather with CS wheels.

My ideal would be Silver Grey red leather with a CSL conversion kit on it.
Ive got 7 weeks until a little one is incoming... and ive been after one for a long time. Seeing hundreds of them at Ultimate BMW at the weekend hasn't helped. There was a stunning Silverstone edition for sale a while ago but it was £35k and a decent one is 25-30k hard to justify when the Z is worth maybe 14-15 and the Z is the same platform.
This was the one.
