I didn't want to but I was running out of space inside the garage and I thought it was time for me to part with it so I don't have any excuse to mod it also.

AWM3 is infamous around these parts
Damn...I better consider parting out. I had no idea the market on used e46 M3's was this bad. My car is in perfect condition, Alpine White (one of the top colors for re-sale), CPO, Inspection 2 done, basically new Brembo's, the interior is perfect and all the mods are top quality.

It's amazing that such an amazing car, the e46 M3, sells for much less then cars that are not even close in quality, performance, etc...I will either part out or just pay it off and keep it.

parting out would def be a much better move. you can still prob get a good price out of the BBK and the vorsteiner stuff.

I'm thinking of making one into a dedicated track machine over the next few months and may be interested in your brakes. Which brembo kit do you have?

I'm not a huge M3 fan but I really like the e46 and even with the new M3 body style out I like the lines better on the old e46, it's timeless (at least for now).

After riding in a new M3 today, I would say yes. The E46 is great, but the new car is much nicer.

I was left severely underwhelmed when driving the new M3.... Interior I think is so bland and ugly, seating position way too high and car feels so narrow and high.

E46 is just perfect, especially with navi and cinnamon interior or imola red, it's just gorgeous . Nothing was better in the new over E46 TO ME, yes they might be more expensive parts or w/e, but it didn't result in better driver satisfaction!

And that's why some of us E46 M3 owners bought a Porsche instead of the new M and at the same time, keep the M for daily driving.

Actually, if I was to record the miles in the last few months between all the cars, I've racked up more miles on the GT3, so that seems to be the DD lately. Hence another oil change again.

If you are going to call Kevin out at least give him credit for the 20's on the Civic "Si" with a coffee can exhaust and aluminum foil around the headers for the extra HP from the cooling.

PICS OR BAN KEVIN!
