GunMetalGrey Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I have actually been thinking about obtaining an e46 m3 either this summer or next. All I have to say about them from what I am seeing, holy maintenance batman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowleym Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I have actually been thinking about obtaining an e46 m3 either this summer or next. All I have to say about them from what I am seeing, holy maintenance batman.Yea I highly considered buying one for a fun summer daily, but like you said... I couldn't live with all the quirks breaking left and right. I would rather build my own expensive car I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I just really want to try a true M car, vs trying to make one like an M. It is a high price to pay, but when you look at the engine and its power figures it is not surprising that it takes a lot to maintain it.

Ryan... Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Once I hit 25 my insurance didn't drop as much as I'd hoped :/ I also found it odd that with Progressive, the difference in cost for me to insure and e46 M vs e92 M was only around $40/month.

Once I bought a house it dropped from 196 to 137!!!! maybe thats because I had them for a year.. Just found this out this month when I paid. Seriously need to bundle my home and auto though.

patsbimmer1 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I looked at the e46 M's before I bought my 335i and I really, REALLY wanted one but having 4 doors was a necessity for me right now. I have progressive and insurance would have been the same for both and my insurance actually dropped when I bought the e90 from what I was paying for the e36.

I wonder what it takes to squeeze the v10 in there? I can't find any e9x race cars that had them, like a GTR or something. What kind of surprised me is the listed 0-60 time is slower than an e90 M3 with over a 100hp less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
