BMW E46 M3 | The Best M3 Ever??
Рет қаралды 355,491
5 жыл бұрынI've driven a lot of M3's in my life. Actually, prior to driving this E46 I'd driven all of the generations except what I think is the best of all of them and that's this E46 M3. It's everything I heard it was supposed to be. Balanced. Great power to weight ratio although another 50-75 hp wouldn't suck. The styling is on point. Everything about this car makes it the best M3 ever for me.
Sit back and enjoy as Kyle and I talk about his car then go for a drive.

I love this because I was debating what color and what kind of mods to do to my M3, and my plan was exactly this. This guy has it exactly how I was planning on doing mine, and it just confirms for me that this is the right choice
@GeekyGamer167 5 жыл бұрын
@Gage Petas true, not really a build, but he's got wheels, lights, blacked out trim and additional bodywork, etc etc. There's a good amount of things here that aren't stock, but they're entirely bolt on stuff.
@GeekyGamer167 5 жыл бұрын
@Gage Petas would you consider my car a build then? I bought mine as an SMG, and it spun bearings within a month. So I gutted the whole thing, rebuilt and replaced whatever I could/needed to, and swapped it to a manual. Being on a college student schedule and budget, I think it's pretty good. 😅 I don't consider it a build but if I ever get the chance to S54 swap a wagon I will be all over it

If you're talking about the S85 V10, you're also forgetting about the VANOS which can break and fragments of metal can enter the engine and destroy the entire block for good. The S85 V10 is amazing. But also really, really, really, really fragile and not so reliable. The rod bearings, even aftermarket, can still be really finicky and fragile. That said, I love the E60 M5. And the E60 550i. And the E63 M6/650i.

Beautifully modded car, the color, the parts, the "stance" - very tasteful. Perfectly executed! The S54 cars were the most elegant beautiful M cars ever - and that's coming from an e30 M3 owner. Kyle, if i could suggest one thing for your car it would be the carbon airbox - it just gives it such a beautiful induction noise. Although i'm not the biggest fan of your raspy exhaust note, the CFK airbox induction would fit perfectly to that exhaust.

For me what makes this car really shine (besides the great looks and handling) is the LSD. I know any car massively improves with one but this one with the balance just loves the corners and the drift factor. Not the fastest but one of the true greats.

I hear you on that. However on mine I've spent my cash on the mechanicals. The sub frame re-enforced the vanos Besian fresh. The engine maintained on the inside and out. But the body gets digs and chips. I drive it every day and in winter. Nothing more fun in the snow than an M3 with the LSD. It's built to be driven and so I drive it. If I could afford a garage queen I might have something under a cover but not this baby. Shes going around every corner with me.

I agree this was the true sweet spot for the M3. I am amazed at how good this one sounds. Owned an '04 when new with the SMG and remember the only letdown was the exhaust, despite it being a high-revving inline-6 with ITB's. As passe as people say it is, the SMG was pretty good for its time. However, I am on board with a manual (SMG-to-manual conversion) nowadays. I also love to see young people still into the hobby!

Got her on the rhino ramps atm undergoing head gasket replacement (cut/cooper ring), megan racing headers, mishimoto aluminum radiator w/ electric fan shroud & NPT, etc. Throttle response is key to raising the fun factor; the E46 M3 is one of very few cars that captures that ultra sporty throttle response feeling.. I don't even get the same from my 2014 370Z w/ the VQ37! This and the R34 GT-R V-Spec are my favorite cars of all time.

This was when luxury was defined by innovating some tech but more importantly, by its build quality. This is the best of BMW. Plus, it comes with its own widebody. If you need to widen this more, you better be running some obscenely fat tires and making it a literal race car. It's wide enough on its on. Just right.

Having seen a Laguna Seca Blue, Topaz Blue and Mytic Blue, I prefer mystic blue overall. sure its not flashy as the other two but when you look at em side by side boy, that mystic blue looks good.

This video quality and the intro music is just too sick. The #E46M3 with its unique Rasp will remain at the Top of my fave ///M list. It’s the perfect analog/modern generation budget performance car with insane amount of upgrade potential courtesy of the #S54 plant. Not to even talk about it’s timeless looks. At 17years old, not many cars retain this level of coolness.

Love the e46 m3..had 3 of them but I've seen the e90 m3 then the new f80 m3...the f80 is a whole new level...pushing out so much power with turbo upgrades and tune...its more of a tuner car
@AutotopiaLA 5 жыл бұрын
I’ve driven a lot of them and have never owned any. I think the E46 with a bit more power and suspension upgrades is hot

Didn’t really mean slow. Just comparing to our modern word of big power cars

I'm watching this October 2019 & I still believe e46 M3 is the best M3 ever. The owner is also a guy with fine taste. This car is perfect as it is, if you deduct or add anything, it will not be as good.

Nice video, however I didn't think the M3 had a facelift, only the non-M E46s. What was the difference with the M cars post facelift?

I love M3’s and especially the e46. And this one looks awesome. But why do they deliver 330 hp? In The Netherlands they produce 343 hp standard. Great video i added it to my favorites brother
