Terminator Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Obviously with a relatively newish car, I want to keep the service record good, but I still do a lot my self, just not the stuff that gets the stamp. History is everything in terms of value. If we keep the car, which we probably will, then I'll probably do all the work myself. Ours is a Cabriolet, which is just fantastic at this time of year. But a bit less boot space than the Coup. (not a real drivers car blah blah.) I have a hard top for it, mainly for really cold weather and long journeys. Watch out for dealer hopping, same address on log book but but switching between main dealer and independent services, in an attempt to hide the real history, not sure how it works but my independent specialist warned me about it.

RobD Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'd opt for the coupe I think, think I'd be wanting a set if CSL wheels for it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GINNO78 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I owned an E46 M3 for 2 yrs .....fantastic car and good at everything BUT......if you are use to big power Turbos with 400lbs ft torque you will find the "Pull" and feeling of Speed disappointing in the M3 .....I was use to Turbo Cars before the M3 and when making progress the M3 has a very linear power delivery which doesnt give you that feeling of speed or going fast if you like.......perhaps because it is more refined and has a very gradual power delivery....I just found it a little boring .....and the sound of the engine and exhaust note....Well some people love it I hated it ...its a very metallic rattly rasp..... sounds like a ferrari with a knackered exhaust.....We were at an M3 meet and a mate with a new Focus RS kept saying to me.....why do these M3's sound so rough? Sounds like they have marbles in the exhaust and the baffles have gone!! I told him they all have that sound....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet_uk Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I've had bothe e36 and e46 the 46 is better looking but that's it the 36 was a much more fun to drive and seems like loads more power but the e46 is. Smashing little motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Man Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Just bought a 02 E46 SMG M3 today, high mileage and interior is a bit worn out. At £7000 I can't complain really I find that I like driving the Supra more, may be it is due to the fact that I drove the Supra for good 7 years.
