S1 HNK Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Decided I fancy a change so the Zed is going and I'm on the look out for a really nice low mileage E46 M3 coupe. I've always loved the e46 and to my eyes it's much better looking than the e92. Its got the extra seats that I find I'm now missing and also a pretty decent performance hike above the Zed. I think a few people on here have had them before so please feel free to give your opinions. There appear to be some fairly common faults and I've done a lot of homework for what to look for. Definitely want a manual and ideally the CS model. I'll be removing my wheels and nismo exhaust prior to sale so keep your eyes peeled Quote
Sarnie Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Love these, I had one after the G; Mine was a SMG II and loved it!! So much so I'm on the look out for another one too Raspy exhaust note is a bit rubbish though especially after coming from a V10 or even the Zed's V6......... Quote
14N Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I think the e46 was much better looking than the later models (sorry not sure what they're called now). I've had three e46 328ci but never stepped up to the M3. Be looking forward to see what you end up with. Edited June 22, 2013 by 14N Quote
370Ad Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Lovely cars apart from the awful exhaust note! Hope you find a good one as they have got into the wrong hands now they are cheaper unfortunately! Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I think the e46 was much better looking than the later models (sorry not sure what they're called E90 http://tarmac.silver-pride.com/bmw-08-13-m3.aspx I took an E46 out for a test drive, nice car but the one I looked at was shabby, just sold a set of Varrstoen ES7's to an E46 owner. I can sort exhausts for you too Quote
Dave-350 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Lovely cars apart from the awful exhaust note! Hope you find a good one as they have got into the wrong hands now they are cheaper unfortunately! Mate, screw the exhaust; sound of the straight 6 is just awesome! Great cars! Quote
stuarty Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Awesome car, i thought about one until i drove the Z4 M! I also like the 335i Quote
S1 HNK Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 Yeah want something bigger than the Z4 and the 335i as fast as it is I just find a little dull. Just need to find a decent one now... Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 All the best with the M3, we have a few that we look after... Quote
Pimm Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 This would be the only car E92 I would sell my zed for, not so much for looks but just ticks all the right boxes for me Quote
