E46 BMW M3 What do you think of 'em?
sixpot:
I recently came across one on the way to work, and decided to see what they went like, was quite surprised at how well my car fared up to it really, as was the BM driver!!
Turns out we both work in the same place so I had a chat to him about it, and its an SMG one with various power settings? or so he says.
They have really come down in price and I was thinking of getting one, so was just asking him about ownership experiences etc..
He said he was only in low power setting btw!
Edition30:
Stunning car, always been a big fan of them...not had the pleasure of driving one nor do I know much about them. I would get onto a BMW forum and find out any known problems etc...
Lass opposite me has one, she certainly doesnt hang around in it :driver:
rdfcpete:
^ I envy your housing arrangements ED30 if you live opposite a girl that drives an E46 M3!
Jules86:
I expect he wasnt full power, they are 220bhp/ton so you would need around 300bhp to match it.
They are on my 'car to own' list. Im quite keen on getting one for a little bit until i can get either a range rover sport or RS4, think they should be depreciation free if you own it for about a year and get one well service, wont cost much to own!

brilliant drivers car :happy2:
ran one for nearly 2 yrs before the ED30
the selector below the SMG gearlever is for speed of change not power settings btw, but Id go for a manual (unless you want the CSL :drool:)
346bhp , seamless delivery to redline , awesome sound , bullet proof if looked after.
running costs can smart a bit , but it is surprisingly easy on fuel
remapped ED30 is close but at higher speeds the M3 is faster, VERY different power delivery
one of my all time favs
