Along with P-cars and F-cars, I have a special place in my heart for M-cars. They just do everything well and make awesome daily drivers. I just picked up an ultra-clean '03.5 SMG vert for my daily driver. I had a Laguna Seca blue SMG coupe back in the day and driving this brought back some warm memories. The vert is my favorite color combo - Alpine white with Cinnamon.

Pics are from previous owner. Will post some pics after I add some goodies

 

Very nice. I have a soft spot for white M's as well

 

Its funny.. not a lot of people respect how nice white looks. I searched for a white E39 M5 forever, finally found one and had it shipped from PA. I love white rides, especially with some nice wheels and aftermarket components! nice find!

 

congrats simon!

hope to see you out on some drives soon!

 

Beautiful car, Simon! Love the color combination!

 

Congrats. e46 M3 ftw...classic design great car. Cinnamon is the way to go...i miss my cinnamon interior. What goodies are you planning for it?

 

Car looks great. Love the white.

 

Very nice Simon...
I used my M-convert as DD all year last year. The rattlings of the soft top drove me absolutely crazy.

 

Sweet! There quite a few cars that look great in white. M3 is one of them.

 

Great looking ride! I also have a very soft spot for real M cars!

That's a great DD!

 

Still thinking about it. My '02 was slammed on PSS9s and scraped it's chin just about everywhere. I might just go with a set of ZCP/CSL wheels and call it a day since aftermarket wheels+stock ride height doesn't look right IMO.

 

maybe you can make the drive this weekend!

 

Great looking M3 - love the white! I had three white bmw,s and have my third white pcar on order! My favorite color - my trademark.

 

Favorite color combo EVER is Alpine on Imola. Cinnamon interior is a close second. I like it a lot.

 

ZCP/CSL wheels look great...good idea is to get spacers to bring them out to the fenders, esp if you do end up dropping it. My 03.5 and 05 was lowered on the full GC coils with camber plates and RSM and I did not have much of a problem with scraping. But the center part of the car would scrape around downtown seattle coming out of some of those parking garages . If anything do get coil-overs along with the wheels as they are the best mod imho for the e46 M3. The GCs I had rode much better than stock too!
