Overview
BMW built a new generation of its popular, M3 sports coupe in 2001. The new, E46 engine replaced the E36 platform of prior models and delivered 333 horsepower from a 3.2 liter inline six cylinder engine. The new engine shared just five percent of its parts component with the old engine.
Some buyers, however, chose to wait for the 2002 M3 when BMW added the clutchless, sequential manual gearbox. But added features made the 2001 model one worth owning. Another notable addition was the new Dynamic Stability Control which, when combined the new variable M differential lock, made for superior handling on slick surfaces.

Coolest car i've ever had. So desirable to many. Very powerful, great brakes and handling capability and fuel efficient. This car brought racing and luxury and style into one. Very fun to own, and great for picking up girls. Must have.

By far the best car I've ever owned! The performance is unreal.. 3.2 ltr straight 6 with 346BHP, 0-60 in 5 seconds! This car is so much fun to drive and it sounds amazing. Only downside is fuel consumtion, you can watch the gauge go down as you plant your foot on the loud pedal...!!

Too much fun for words. It's performance is amazing. BMW's can have expensive repairs but the looks are definitely what sets it apart from the competition. The E46 body style remains one of my favorites - Especial fond of the real-glass rear window.
