Hello BMW speed, i don't remember you clearly i'm sorry but i'm always a fan of fellow bimmer owners..
(i'm not one anymore of course..poor me) but i like your car, i do, never had a soft spot for E46's personally, but i'm not going to deny that the car isn't a looker..
Good job and good choice..I'm sure LSixer will have some further words of fellowship/love to express..
Us Bimmer owners are few n far between on this site, and bimmer owners that aren't D-bags are even harder to find..

Welcome back BMW Speed, its been a while since you've been regularly posting. I love the e46 M3 in white and you are a lucky guy for having it. Take care of it of course, and I suspect we will have a jealous Evo Power in here soon.

I'm a big fan of those in white. Looks very clean. How many miles does it have and if you don't mind me asking, what did you pay?
P.S. i think it's cool how they use the "M" in the SMG.

Very nice M.
I appreciate how you always think of me drift when it comes to bimmers, thats a real nice compliment, I mean that for real.
Yes the pics were a bit helter skelter, my computer screamed like some kicked it in the nuts when I opened the thread due the pics size/organization. Oh well, small price to pay thanks for sharing, I always enjoy seeing others cars.

Nice M3. I've never driven one but I bet it's a blast to drive.

Awesome looking car, love those good old rims, but I've heard the new ones give better performance. But still, sweet car, very clean.
howcome it says M6 in the rear?
Nah, if you see closely, the 3 in the M3 badge has crocked 90 degree agle edges, but anyways, if you dont look closely or have a fuzzy picture, it looks as if it says M8 or M6. The new one, on the other hand has smoothed out abit.

Nice ride, bro. I'm dying to hear what you think of the SMG transmission. As I'm sure you know, it got really bad reviews in the press. But it obviously isn't that bad if you bought one. Let us know what you think of it.

@Driftster… Thank you man :) … btw I remember you, I remember almost all the older members
@clutch… thanks man , yea it’s been a long while hehe
@AESG… thanks man
@West… it has 59000Km on it (that’s 36580 miles) , i got it for 43000$
(the prices here are different than your countries) .. anw thanks man
@LSixer… thanks , glad to see an another Bimmer fan around :)
@BMW BOSS… thanks , it really is a blast to drive
@Corvette.C6-R… thanks , yea it’s a pure joy . I guess it’s because of
the very low quality pics that I posted , that’s why it seems like it’s written M6 instead of 3
@sabaka g… indeed :) , thanks
@S-Tune-S1… habib albe choukran :D
@Robbie… thanks bro. These are the stock 18’’ , i was thinking of replacing them with the CSL 19’’ , but heard that the 18’’ are better when it comes to handling
@millman… thanks bro. I’ve heard many M3 SMG owners facing some problems , mainly due to a SMG hydraulic pump failure , it can be replaced for sure , but you’d better be under warranty hehe . Shifting is really awesome IMO, it’s a bit jerky at low gears though ..there are 6 sensitivity levels for shifting, but damn from S1 to S6 you can really notice how fast you can shift in this car .
Again sorry for the pics hehe, i didn't know there is such a big difference between these pics and the car in real life , anyway i will take new pics through a camera this time :P

CSL 19" rims eh?
That would be a perfect addition to an already very nice car.
Solid stuff you got there. I like the E46 and E36 much much more than the E92. E30 is still my favorite though! :)

And that's where you would be wrong. It's definitely a very cool car, and it's very fast, but I'm not a huge fan of the E46 M3. It's still a good car by all means, and it's not that there is anything wrong with it...well, except that it has the SMG transmission...which I'm sure you'll be quick to ignore it's obvious flaws and call me retarded for thinking any different or probably just call me jealous, one or the other. BUT, I'd rather have an E36.
However, props to BMW speed for his new car and it being a very cool and very fast ride. Just don't crash it into a house :)

I'm also another former M3 owner. And I'm excited for you. I know the feeling. The car looks great, and judging from the other cars in the background of your pictures, you have a very nice car compared to some others in your area.

I know, I would have done the same thing if he bought a Lancer Evo!:D

Even 160kph isn't that speedy. An M3 gets up there REAL fast.

The M3 you bought looks good in any picture. Low or high quality, still looks sweet.

And the best thing is, you don't even feel like you're doing 160!:D
