Default E46 M3.... mucho cheapness

I am shocked by the prices of these cars now..! Great value for money IMO.

My mate purchased one yesterday, on an 02 plate, 64k, all the usual... sat nav etc.. for the sum of 14k!

After going in it last night, I now realise what all the fuss is about..! Superb cars.. makes you wonder why we bother with Fords

Time to sell the type r I reckon

Loving the paddle shift... Sounds mental when it blips the throttle!

Dan.. I will never sell the Type R on the basis you hate them (meant to say, congrats to both you an Natalie by the way)

They are cheap, I've been looking for a decent last of the line one for a while when I realised that some of the CSL's are now in my price range aswell. Found a nice black one near me for 26K. Its a 58K car for gods sake!!!!

I spent a day driving my mates M3 E46 around, great great car, but unfortunatly I have been spolit by cossie power so it just felt "fairly" quick.. For aneveryday car they are fantastic though I would imagine, but WHY do you have to turn the TC off (properly 100% off not just off ) and turn the sport mode on EVERY time you drive the fooking thing??? That would piss me off, why they don't just stay where you leave them is beyond me
