Lol

Because Doug is the only person to have ever touched them

I'm surprised the owner even went with that option.

My e46 with 180,00 miles just had its turn signal used for the first time. I did find it very useful at all. Ill stop using it.

There gonna only go up ....

this is the best comment i´ve ever read in my life

Anthony Curanaj one thing the greek economical crisis is good for...car prices are low af..there's a ton of 2000-2008 bmw's (pre crisis) so they're not rear...M3 E46 go for 12-16k

Nora Berisha you're quiet attractive

Because morons believe the hype😒🙄

how's it holding up?

like always? what a shit comment. this goes for any brannd.

babineaux it’s not a shit comment new bmw’s look ridiculous and over-styled compared to the 2000’s models.

TheGreekFreak comeon man. This isnt just about your opinion.

He’s talking about when The Ultimate Driving Machine was exactly what we needed

They all look like BMW to me. I don't care if a brand changes their look. Thinking about it the E46 was a HUGE change from the E30 but people love both. The E92 generation is when it started changing a lot but they still look like BMW. Hell, the new 2 series looks like what a modern BMW should be in my opinion.

SebasWorld TV HAAHHAAHAH top fuckin comment

Daniel Kemnitz ahahahaha

Daniel Kemnitz pmsl

Connor Westerfield Haha good one. I am I E46 M 3 owner and as much as I believe in turn signal us there I just no reason to use and sometimes because the car is so freaking quick in traffic. I called the point and shoot method whenever you see an opening you disappoint the car downshift and shoot it over to the opening. And much like the transporter in Star Trek, you have changed places.

Bruh WHATS wrong with using a turn signal...my bmw has one :/

Paid Off Cars regardless of brand are the best

I have a 2005 E46 with nearly 300,000 miles on it and a 2014 F10.with only 43,000 miles on it. My favorite, for all- around diving.....the E46.

What about old ferraris

Yeah...i just bought E46 3days ago...looks&drives so pristine&comfortable, compared to more modern car (Civic FC, Corolla Altis, BMW E90).

@@DudeDude491 forreal. i get flak for driving an 01 z3 3.0i from my friends who dont know cars very well. $2500 for a 225hp relatively simple motor in a well made roadster that cost about 10% of what a new civic runs is a pretty good deal. especially if you do basic maintenance yourself. granted, new cars come with warranties but you end up paying a 'much-worse-than-oem-bmw-parts' premium usually if you factor in depreciation.

Both are one of the best BMWs ever made, but the E39 is just better imo. Better for a daily while still being able to hang onto the M3 on a track, way better looks, better reliability, more luxurious.

JonathanGJM e46 is perfect if your the more sporty type. The E39 is just straight bad ass tho.

@@YaseenAli-zn9ej I agree, E39 is the better all around car

A lot of people calls it THE M car, but I would say the E30 was the true M car followed by the E46, E36 is nice but quite bland compared to the 46

@@momoloco99rh why would u say that the E30 was the best? Can we stop being ifluenced by purism and stuff, a car its not necesarilly the best just cuz its the first one, the E30 was made with really bad materials and handling

I never got it why people liked the m5 so much and not the m3?

just look at them m8

Marsel Vitti It's a v8 mate

maxxjett films specially when they accelerate

It's that V8 in it, in my opinion a e46 m3 with e39 m5 engine is the pinnacle of BMW M cars.

LMAO good one

Bravo, you win the comments

Best comment! Hands down!

Hahahha so true, ya know whenever I use the turn signal in an e39 (I actually do on occasion) I think, damn this is a really fucking nice turn signal and it's a shame how little most owners probably use it. Great spring tension, a nice positive detent, and no annoying plastic click when it disengages.

@Doug Demuro you could do a video about proper driving, kind of like in that one recent video where you pointed out the slow driving car in the far left lane on the highway. Add turn signals (especially when police cars don't use them), proper use of bright head lights, following distance, entering highways at proper speed, overuse of brakes/brake lights, variable speed on long drives due to not using cruise control, semi trucks not staying in right lane when signs tell them to, semi trucks in passing lane up a hill.

Doug didn't play Most Wanted or watched autosport back then. The M3 owned the race track and video games in the 2000s

36 way better

@@HurtenAlbertan yeah, right

steven xue e36 328i > e46 m3

Sunfire Boy yeah? I wonder why I’ve never heard of e36 328i in “best sports car under 10k” but e46 M3 is always in the list 🤔 hmmm

Damn, I'm jealous. Enjoy it.

Loved my 2000 540i 6 speed and sports package.

Ayy I got my 03 540i a month ago 😉

I’ve got an e38 740i and feel the same way. Though some days I want an m5, I’ve got an e46 m3 already but I feel like the m5 has to be the best of both...:and I need that

Hopefully in less than a week im gonna get one 🤞

Poisonous Python I've never quite seen the beauty of the e39, especially the rear. I don't mind the front but the rest just leaves me cold.

Fair enough to each their own of course. I think the rear is nicely understated, but the sides and front are absolutely ideal in terms of proportions, so what it lacks in styling details actually plays to it's advantage as the car ages. When I was younger the e46 m3 was the dream, but the older I've gotten, the more my tastes have shifted to the e39 and I suspect that trend will continue.

Agreed

I am a huge fan of beamers myself but..... E28's turn so many heads because many non car people think it looks muscly yet not ridiculous, and OC car people understand the draw. also the Rx-7 FD IMO has aged better than pretty much everything.

I agree, I think the E36, E39 and E46 have aged better than any other equivalent car of the same year in terms of styling. I had an E46 right up until last year and if BMWs weren't so ridiculously expensive in North America i'd probably get another one, in fact if I had to live with one car for the rest of my life it'd probably be an E46.

lmao

Very very accurate

epic

The stereotype really only fits people who drive anything below a 5 series, i.e peasants who bought a used 320D and now think they own the road

Tehgziz Lauw I've rarely seen a BMW i8 driver using his/her blinkers. It's the other way around, a BMW 1 to 3-Series is relatively affordable and driven by "normal" people who don't think they're superior.

Gary K I always see his scoring. 7 out of 241 get a 10

@@gitaarmovies2003 false

Well Doug. Doug's eyes. It is even called the fucking Doug-score. Get it? Its Doug's eyes

I bought an e46 last year. They've aged very well and when I ask people what year it is they usually think it's an 07-09. It's a 2000

Yeah when I tell people my E46M3 is a 2003 I get a lot of surprised looks from those that don't know about cars.

@@greggallucci607 Yeah I owned both an E46 and Mercedes CLK and most people thought they were much newer than what they actually were lol

e46 looks pretty outdated imo. Just look at the interior and the body lines, its pretty boxy rather than have curves.. the e92 m3 held its looks over the past decade.

I bought an e92 m3 for 17k 90k miles

I flew across the country to buy a '06 with competition package (interlagos blue as well) and 63k miles for $16500. I paid 2 grands to have it shipped to my door by truck. The prev' owner was the 2nd owner and was an older man in his late 60s. It had a bunch of dents and no service history but I paid cash without protesting in any way.

Just bought a 2011 comp pack M3 alpine white, paid 24k with only 50k miles. Perks of working at a dealership and getting cars at wholesale price. My GM also has a Laguna seca blue e46 6-speed he sold for 10k before their value went up. I’m glad I was able to buy my first M car which also happened to be my favorite.

lol I bought an 02 m3 6 speed with 92k miles for 9500

Killian McGeary 6 speed that would be so much fun at a track day. 9k is a really good price too.

Sad but true

Mario man you got that right it's amazing the attention you get when you're driving around in the nice BMW with shiny wheels and your lower it. Chicks are all like I fucking you and shit where is if you run up in the in a Nissan or a Toyota they won't give you the time of day. Unless it's maybe a Skyline GTR or a Supra

U don't need girls if u own a E46 M3 ..... Ur the king of the road with that German beast

Almost any BMW is a chick magnet but they don't know the difference between a 3 or 5 series, that's the reality. Stop hanging around car meets , that's not where girls are at lol.

DIY Dan noooo waaay fuck that's a steal

I sold my mint E39 540i couple years back for $14k when standard mileage cars were going for $8k. At the time I was seeing nice M5's in low 20's so definitely surprised to see them going up this much. After owning the car though I get it somewhat, its a quintessential car and if you never got to drive one before I can see paying a lot for the experience. I'm trying to picture the profile of someone willing to pay $100k for one however and I don't see it.

There was no 550i E39, the top model (non M) was 540i. Greetings,

DIY Dan I don't see it either. I get it, they're the last of the true BMW analog driving experience, but I don't see anyone dropping the hammer at over 100k to get that experience. But then on second thought I think back to the air cooled Porsche 993s....

the metrics you really have to watch out for are maintenance cost and reliability.

GRat9717 Haha. The car analogy works out SO well. Do you want the Camry that is boring, plain, but utterly reliable and faithful? Or do you want the exotic that'll eat you up in maintenance and temperament, but will absolutely make your head spin when you take it out? That's where we need the "M car" of girls. A nice blend of both.

2WhiteAndNerdy That's why I drive Volvos. They're safe! ;)

simple supply and demand. The more m badges used, the less value it has.

Bob Spitt 5k for a decent NA is still quite a lot compared to a few years ago. Even a pristine NA in a rare color or something like that go up to 8-10k! Stupid high prices for a 20 plus year old little sports car.

Bob Spitt the UK

Go Faast exactly the miatas are great but not worth the same as boxters

Because old mx5s are good daily riders yet old Boxsters are money pits.

Although the Boxster is a fantastic car to drive (probably better than an Miata), repair cost is way far off Miatas. This is another reason they could be appreciating.

So graph Doug's videos on a timline with car prices/sales and I bet there are peaks each time. Maybe not for the F-650 though.

The BMW's from this era all had the shittiest cup holders of all time.

Wrong. I agree they are shit, but E60 AND E90 had the absolutelty terrible ones.

U got me being jealous u bastard. Hope I can hv of these as my first ride. I would definitely keep em stock, I will only restore them

Nice man, first car was an old 1litre Ford Fiesta that I had 2 years, now had a 320i 2004 e46 straight 6 for nearly 3 years and its such a nice drive, rapid compared to the fiesta haha, only cost £2000 too with 130k miles full service history, definitely want to upgrade to e46 m3 when I save up enough :D

Drinks the petrol tho, can easily spend £30 driving about for an hour or so lol, 2500rpm is the sweet spot :D

Josh Mills facts! My E46 325i is DINAN’d out and you think stock is bad? Whoa baby it’s worse than my Silverado lol

filan fisteku I had an E46 Sedan as well, now have an E46 M3 and E39 M5 after years of searching

I am so biased to the E46 M3 it's not even funny. Raved about it nonstop when they first came out. Doesn't help I own one now, heavily modded & slammed, in black (and blacked out). Not a ricer though, like Doug stereotypes (although rightly so, as I do recall seeing a lot of these modded to hell in all the wrong ways). The E46 M3, if properly modded (doesn't have to be super crazy, I have afe intake + SS catback + full suspension refresh w/ poly & performance parts), is still king in my book for BMW. Incredible power delivery & insane throttle response from that amazing S54 (no turbo lag!).. when you slam these with the right tires/wheels, camber/toe adjust, & the carbon fiber lip on the front, tail on the back, looks absolutely ridiculous. Sickness. Better than the newer BMWs imo by a longshot, extremely aggressive stance!

Fiat Lux I agree man, currently own an e46 320 but want to upgrade to e46 m3 when I can afford it:D

You're not wrong, but...! If you want to buy something brand-new and today, the M5 is harder to substitute. 4-door, V8, manual trans, compact(ish) size. The current market doesn't really have it. Chevrolet SS, that's it, and they are cancelling that car unfortunately. The M3, tho, is a 2-door sportscar and easier to approximate in today's market. Come to think of it, I don't know exactly what to compare the e39 M5 to except the SS/G8 combo. Full disclosure, I own an e39 M5, and I didn't cross shop anything else.

@@justingallagher4864 God, I absolutely ADORE the e39 M5. It is such a beautiful and timeless design both front AND rear. I currently have an e92 335i. Would love to own an e39 one day. Don't get me wrong I love the e46 as well. But something about this generations M5 just speaks to me on a different level. Regardless, this was such a golden era of BMW design.

Fiat Lux let me guess, you ruined the badges

But that one is modded to hell. I doubt it'll retain any value.

That one is heavily modified though.

Have you seen how neglected that car is they will probably have to tear down that whole motor and re build it

That one has 1000+hp. That will never retain its value.

Ybok because you lack foresight. These cars might be old, but you can actually MAKE money off of owning them. And even if they don't shoot up in value, they won't depreciate nearly as much as any new BMW you can buy today. New isn't always better

FloridaRacingChannel the E36 M3 was released with The S50B30 with 282 hp, the LCI was stuffed with the S52B32 with 321 hp, those were real M motors, the NA version were sold with a modified M50/M52 names S50B30US/S52B32US accordingly with only 240 hp, the NA version barely made more power than the 328i which made 190 hp,

too much tech in it and crank bearings break down
