Is it now the purist's choice?

@paulelverstone8677 2 жыл бұрын

Purists? not in my book but wouldn't be surprised if some of the smart money went the way of the E46. That is a lot of car there...

Glad to hear it, I’ve owned a silver grey manual coupe for 6yrs, she’s really clean and only does 2k a year these days. Over the last 2yrs or so I’ve never got more comments and looks and conversation about the car, it’s really getting in to that classic bracket.

@mocheen4837 2 жыл бұрын

I have owned my manual e46 M3 for 18 years. I am approaching 80,000 miles now. It is always garaged and has never seen the rain. I have the full Dinan suspension package, exhaust, intake and software upgrade. The car sits on 19” HRE wheels. I just had the paint correction and ceramic coating completed. I had the front end wrapped with paint protection film. Prices are starting to increase on these now. I am going to hand it down to my son.

They don't handle boost all that well, not compared to other similar size 6 cylinders, the cylinder bore gap is tiny so the head gasket blows between the cylinders, cylinders walls are very think 4mm compared to a 2jz which are 10/12mm

i drove the new M4 at Zandvoort this year and got a head-age whit-in a minute just looking at the large amount of buttons. So i never would consider buying one. Enjoying an BMW M is about pure driving, clean steering, confident breaking, the screaming sound (not the 2022 disorder burble!), accelerating and rear wheel drive (or 4x4). Having the most gadgets is for people that like to exaggerate. Today there is a market for a brand new purist BMW M. And please let it be narrow like the E46.

Great review, but please don’t dis the SMG. It’s spectacular. Yes… I’ve lost NOT ONE, but TWO electro hydraulic actuator pumps… but it’s only the motor. So I’ve relocated mine to the (2004 vert) drug well, where I can easily remove and rewind the motor every 65k miles.

@paulelverstone8677 2 жыл бұрын

You cannot deny the E46 M3 its credentials, in a time where 'the ultimate driving machine' still held some sway, but the styling to me bordered on the vulgar. It also helped the rise of the 'BMW driver' and all the connotations that came with that. While Audi and Merc hadn't quite managed the same trick, they took alternative routes to carve their own niche. Stuttgart went with walloping V8's while Audi began a clean, crisp styling trend that still impresses today. All imo, of course...
