thought ill share some pics after cleaning it.. not a ford but its my daily..

 

Nice, love the plate.

 

cheers mate..aint anywhere near as quick as my rs turbo was.. but its a lovely car with enough power..and drives lovely

 

Very nice! Is that a very dark blue?

Miss my old one sometimes.

 

Super clean, looks spot on

 

Love E46 M3's. Came very close to buying one when my brothers threw a rod which put me off so I opted for a TT Roadster for some summer fun before a V8 S4 next year.

 

Looks real nice with you.

 

Very nice. Very clean too. I enjoyed an e46 coupe on track and thought it went really well. I have been thinking of an e36 for a fun gamble on an investment

 

suprised it threw a rod mate.. mines lived on the limitor in the time i had it .. i kane the living crap out of it and it just dont go wrong.. lol apart from the prop shaft donut its been perfect..and that propshaft donut bush only made a noise after about 250 donuts i have done over the year i have the car .. got to admit its a tough car..still drives amazing.. although i kill it i do maintain it too just like all my cars i had..they get driven very very hard but get looked after very well too

 

my mate owns a e36 m3 mate.. power wise its not as quick ..we raced them so many times. . but yeah i must say the e36 is going up in value now and a good investment car. . but i just prefer the big arches..evil looks on the e46

 

its carbon black mate.. it just looks more blue as i polish it alot

 

cheers for all the comments.

 

We were surprised too as it religiously maintained and cared for. Currently building up a replacement engine for it as so little was salvageable. Considering a supercharger from the states for it but he's just had a nipper so that plan may be shelved

 

a supercharger would be mental mate..if he can tame it lol

 

Lovely car

 

Carbon, whiplash red leather and 19s, about perfect for an e46 I say

 

Great cars and with the red interior is the best colour combination in my opinion, looks fantastic

 

thanks guys for all the comments/going to get rid soon..want a cossie next

 

Pains me to say it but after the M3 you'll be disappointed. Never meet your childhood hero's as the saying goes.

 

Naaa you'll be right with a cossie, I had an e36 EmmFree a few years back, great car but I just didn't gel with it like I have done with the saff. I've also had scoobies and a Clio 182 in between but nothing has grabbed me like the saff.

Admittedly, the e46 is a class above

 

you do have a point.. i know what old fords are like to look after .. the m3 is amazing.. i had it a year and apart from 1 bush being replaced..nothing goes wrong..it drives like a dream.. and still has decent power.. looks the part..fun with the roof off too. . good fun and a nice decent car..however.. id like to own a cossie for a while.. as i love the sound and boost..but if i sell the m3 and buy a cossie..then later if i regret it it will be hard to find a minty mint m3 in this condition in this spec.. think ill bite the bullet soon though and just get a cossie for a while..hmmmmmmm...confusing my self again haha..

 

I've got a 550Bhp supercharged M3, great fun

 

Wow that looks very nice
