"Drive it for a day and you'll be amazed by the immediacy of its responsiveness and by the sheer explosiveness of
its straight line performance. You'll soon start to wonder why anyone else would bother trying to build a rival to
such a car." -- Autocar
"The selection of mechanical melodies generated by the 3.2 litre straight six engine residing under the bulging
bonnet of this ultimate variation on the BMW 3 series theme tops any comparable powerplant that I've ever tuned
into before." -- Top Gear Magazine
"BMW have launched themselves into a new class, invading Ferrari/Porsche high ground." -- CCC Magazine
The Ultimate Driving Machine
I have decided to part ways with my pride and joy. Garage kept and pampered throughout its life, this E46 M3 is
nothing short of special -- a true privilege for car lovers alike or the BMW enthusiast. The car's power is matched
with its smooth delivery in a straight line and around the corners. The immersive driving experience is only
emphasized by the heightened control of the six-speed manual transmission. And the Imola Red paint will leave you
and everyone around salivating every time you see it.
This car has a pristine 10/10 exterior. The paint shines like new and there isn't a scratch or ding. The interior
scores a 9.5/10, with only minor signs of age. The leather looks brand new, and sometimes I still swear I smell the
"new car smell."
Mechanically, the car is also a perfect 10/10. Having only been driven on highways over the weekends, everything
from the engine to the convertible motor runs like new. I have had no issues with the car, and have made no
modifications. This is a complete, straight out of the factory OEM BMW E46 M3.

BMW X5 gets full battery of performance visuals
Wed, 12 Feb 2014If you think BMW toned down its third-generation X5 CUV a little too much with its latest redesign, the new M Performance Parts line of optional parts may give you a chance to inject in a new sense of style.
The aesthetic parts include new carbon fiber pieces for the mirror caps, front splitter, rear diffuser and rear aero flaps. There's also a rear spoiler, high-gloss black kidney grilles, M Performance rocker panel decals and double-spoke 21-inch wheels with performance tires. The interior upgrades are similar with an available Alcantara steering wheel with carbon fiber trim, stainless steel pedals and carbon fiber gearshift trim.
Not all of the M Performance Parts are about style. The M Performance Power Kit sharpens throttle response and boosts power of the X5 xDrive35i to 320 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, an improvement of 20 hp and 32 lb-ft, and an optional exhaust with chrome tips improves its sound. For buyers looking for improved stopping power, the M Performance Brake Kit adds six-piston calipers with 19-inch steel rotors.
2016 BMW M3 gains new colors, LED taillights
Thu, May 7 2015The BMW 3 Series gets a few new models and some significant mechanical tweaks for its recently announced 2016 refresh. At the same time, the Bavarian brand is taking the opportunity to make some much more minor adjustments to the M3, too. BMW didn't mention the M3's changes in its announcement of the 3 Series refresh, but company spokesperson Hector Arellano-Belloc explained the updates to Autoblog. On the outside, the sport sedan now comes with full LED taillights, and the exterior is available with new colors from BMW Individual: Smoked Topaz Metallic and Champagne Quartz Metallic. The shades join Tanzanite Blue Metallic and Azurite Black Metallic from the brand's bespoke division. Under the hood, everything is the same with a twin-turbo, 3.0-liter inline-six engine making 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. Inside, the M3 gains the improved navigation system from the 3 Series that features over-the-air map upgrades. There's more chrome trim around the interior, as well. "Given how new it is, the changes to the M3 are minimal," said Arellano-Belloc to Autoblog. However, the tweaks show that BMW is trying to keep the performance sedan at the top of its game.
