People are out of their mind pricing those cars that high. The e46 M3 is by far the most boring and worst M3 that BMW has made to date. It's amazing to me that a non M E46 is such a beautiful car but the E46 M has never done much for me. People are entitled to price their cars as high as they want however I don't see a huge market for $50k E46 M3s.

Untouched 2002 M3 with 10k miles .....
Nice find, it's so hard to see clean LSB with such low miles :thumbsup:
heh, my '01 330Ci still does have 2.000 miles Less then this M3 :rofl:




........ it blows my mind that anyone would ever order the dove gray interior. Nightmare.
yeah bummer :eeps: [did ordered my ride back in the dayz for my 30 anniv.] Especially with that Gray interior [+ that crappy Premium Pack :eek: ].... if it's now: only the SP [ no moon., bk. cloth seats, none metallic and with out even radio if I can - lol]

The e46 m3 CSL had a higher power to liter ratio than the e92 m3 GTS.

3.2liter at 360hp= 112.5hp/liter
4.4liter at 444hp= 100.9hp/liter

However the e92 was relatively the same weight as the previous generation, it had 100 more horse power which made it much faster.

To put it into perspective on how hard it was to achieve this... not to mention 15 years ago, the engineering was incredible.

Currently some of the highest out put naturally aspirated engines are:

911 gt3 rs at 125.1 hp/liter
ferrari 458 italia at 125 hp/liter
and the lexus LFA at 115.1 hp/liter

Not to mention every boy racer's dream the nissan GTR, only has 108.1 hp/liter until paired with the turbo bumping it up to 139.5.

Lol. The car is amazing... I mean it is a classic car. Period. Ralph Lauren has an Imola 0 mile one in his collection, one of the few in the world like this. I think we can all agree that the Dove interior is pretty much the worst idea, ever. though. The E46 M was very iconic. Bmw is still making great cars. I mean, if you want the predecessors to these things, just get over to the 2 series forum. The M2 is going to crush it. The 3 series isn't really the right comparison anymore. But I also love the F30.

^^ What do you like more about the E36 M3 than the E46 M3?
I am not very familiar with the newer versions of M3 but I know if given the choice between an E36 and an E46 I am taking the E46.
let me guess, he likes it because it could be bought with an automatic. <img src='http://forum.E46Fanatics.com/images/smilies/greddy.gif'>

IMO:

E46 M3>F80 M3>E90 M3>E30 M3>E36 M3 Euro>E36 M3 US. All very close to eachother though. I think they're all fantastic cars when brand new, or at this point in time, maintained and modded properly. (No junk mods like aftermarket HIDs, poor aftermarket wheels, aftermarket headunits, torn up steering wheels, torn up subframes etc) Given all that, I'd still vote the E46 M3 as being the best M3 and arguably the best BMW ever made. It comes from an era where BMWs were magic. In the words of Clarkson on the M3 CSL: it's BMW at its absolute best.

The above person who said it wasn't that fast, etc. That kind of attitude holds true in muscle cars where one # means everything. An M3 is not meant to excel in any one area but to be great in all areas. Judged in totality, of course M3s or similar (IS-F, C63s, 2.3 16V 190Es, etc) can't outperform true sports cars like the 911 or Corvette. While both vehicle types can perform great things, true sports cars have the advantage as they are focused. Any real enthusiast would recognize this.
