That's a nice e46, but he is asking too much for a 03'
especially with that interior color and it's a vert Posted via RS Mobile | |

the prices for these cars have plunged quite a bit. its hard to get that much for one these days even if its mint. considering its now possible to get one from across the border for 10-15k for a e46 m3 and 5-10k for a e36 m3. also, a lot of enthusiasts are holding out for the ~95+ eurospec e36 m3 3.2 6spd which will legal to import soon. its really hard for the local e46 m3s to move. i predict that with the up coming hst, it would drive down the prices further. oh and a lot of car clubs that organize track days don't let verts play unless it has a cage or something. anyways, i'll continue my search for a, coupe, no sunroof, manual 6 spd, base + comp pack, blk/blk, half alcantara int e46 m3 stateside.

When I was checking out the car, the owners family had several other cars include a Bentley flying spur and a v8 vantage.

its not about showing off that i was referring to. IMO doesnt matter wat you drive, an aftermarket set of rims is a must. YOu want to look at stock cars? Go hit up a dealership, its about being different and unique.

That's why they spend a huge amount of money on parts that actually work with eachother to improve the car's performance instead of buying a set of expensive rims and some cosmetic mods and call it a day.

so much for a car enthusiast forum, i guess everyone likes stock cars than
those who came to the meet must all be ricers
PS:
Getting a set of lighter wheel, forged rims is consider one of the performance mod, along with sticky tires

PS:

In the Euro scene, most people tend to go for stance rather than performance hence the oversized wheels with huge lips, which look very nice, but also increase the unsprung weight of the car, which hinders performance. And BTW the OEM 19's for e46 m3's are all forged.

get off MugenEvolution back....nice rims is always the starting pt for modding a car....not only do wheels give a car a unique look and stance, they can improve the handling and acceleration (lightweight). Regardless, if you are a performance guy, I would run 4 rear OEM 19s and bigger tires at least......

lol mugen evolution wasn't saying anything about rice and on a car mod forum, it's kinda retarded to accuse him of being a ricer for saying the bmw should have some nice aftermarket rims
with that said, nothing wrong with stock with a car like an m3. Some people like to buy really expensive cars and keep them stock looking on the outside. That way it's not so much a unique car that's yours, but more of a stock collector car that you've kept in mint condition. Just my guess

I was actually looking for a used e46 m3 coupe a while back.
One thing that caught me off guard was that I could not believe how many smg's there are out there.
I love that car in every color except for that puke yellowgreen one, so being as that all I wanted was black interior and manual, I expected to have my pick of used m3's, man was I wrong.
But yeh, like its been said before, if the m3 in the original post was a coupe and wasn't beige, I'm sure it'd be sold by now

I think the mods scary most people away from this car. It's risky buying a car especially a used M3 which is heavily modded. One thing goes wrong and you're fucked.

my yellow on yellow coupe is only worth ~20k nowadays... 80k deprectiation in 8 years
no one gives a shit about mods and people rather buy stock instead of modded ones especially euro cars...
also have fun with inspection II coming up

Allot of people buying used E46 M3s want a stock M3. Cosmetic mods or SC I think decrease the value of a M3. However well thought out mods will improve the value slightly...for example;
BBK, rear diff, Dinan parts, coilovers, suspension upgrades. I would predict you would get $0.20 on the dollar
However must have stock OEM parts as well.
