Of course you can... but doing it right, puts you within striking distance of actual CSL pricing - especially when you factor in the interior bits.

The E36 and E46, and not only the 'M' cars, are the best BMWs ever made for me. Simply great to drive, they offer exactly what BMW's slogan is: Sheer Driving Pleasure. Without the limitations of today's laws and emission requirements. They are honest cars. I love both, I always did. I currently drive a E36 328i convertible with some minor mods (bigger brakes, M50 manifold, slightly altered M3 E46 exhaust system, tweaked suspension, rigidity improvements) and it's an absolute joy, even though the 36 'Vert is not the most rigid chassis. It's even better than I thought it would be before owning one.

Every M3 before the E46 feels too slow (although the difference with the E36 is quite small) and in every M3 after the E46 you feel less connected with the car. Atleast, that’s how I feel it. The E92 is a beautiful car and that V8 is great! It’s actually 15kg lighter than the E46 engine.🙈 But E46 wins it all for me.💪

@brian jackson I owned a 2004 E46 normal M3, the amount of money I spent on to keep the thing running and not breaking down was ridiculous, I mistakenly bought the SMG version, which broke not once but TWICE. All high performance E46 models rear sub frame is also flawed, they crack, they ALL do. Had to pay to get that reinforced, not to mention oil leaks and other petty stuff. It was an enjoyable car when it worked, but definitely not a masterpiece and I certainly wouldn't buy another one.
@PureDriveTV5 жыл бұрын
Sirdiggar Well.. Everything is “breakable”. I believe you had those problems because of the previous owner(s). If you treat this car very well from new, it’s good. Not perfect, but good. Yes, subframe is a known issue. I have a 2001 manual. I’ve bought it with 52.000km about one and a half year ago. Perfect history and I’ve driven it for about 20.000km’s now. It doesn’t use ANY oil, not a drip. The car drives and feels like new and the subframe is (still🤞) perfect. So it just depends on how it’s been used since new.

yeah i’ll have to agree with you on that one. the e46 3 series in general are honestly the best cars ever made, the lineup offers something for everyone, wagons, sedans, coupes, and all the way up to the m3s. nothing drives quite like the e46 just pure driving satisfaction.
