I still remember my dad’s from when these were new. This was the car that got me into cars.

loving these reviews with Bill. He is so incredibly relatable, bright, and humble. A legend of ///M and top class for the brand.

I miss my E46 M3 every day when is log on to my G87....

What makes it great is not that it is best car at doing anything better than any other...it's that it does many things so well. You can go to a racetrack with it. You can use it as a daily driver. You can use it as a truck to move everything from one apartment to another....

For me the E46 followed closely by the E92 are BMW’s best looking M3’s. Peak BMW design

Thank you for the video! This brought back a lot of memories for me. I had a 2004 (E46) M3csl with SMG2 in Silver Grey Metallic with a Black leather interior. It had a 45mm front disk and the rear had a larger diameter piston.

I love my e46 m3, it's a really good car. It was the car that got me into bmw's and into cars in general. I've gotta say though, I think it's a slightly overrated car. The steering is great, handling is great, it's fast, sounds awesome but I just think it's a car you get bored of quick. If you have a collection of 10 or more cars I think it's definitely one you need to have but if it's your only weekend car you'll definitely get bored of it. I genuinely feel bad saying that because I think it's one of the coolest cars of its time. Either way, still a great car.

Haha Bill said "This poor car is never gonna to be the same" not "Sportscar"... followed by him pretending not to know how to use a clutch, he was implying he was going to destroy the thing

What do you mean future classic? It’s already a classic

With the limiter removed you can reach 174 mph flat out. Not bad for a car produced from 2001.

Wait? Is that why the Corvette kicked BMW’s ass too in GT2 even after BMW tried to cheat? Lmao
