I'd my SMG E46 M3 for 4-5 years and it was pretty good ! Don't be scared by cheap BMW owners. I'd multiple european cars and never experience bad things like what others describe on the internet.

My E30 was supposed to be a beater... Until I started to really like it.
E36s can work as beaters as long as you replace the cooling system and don't mind sagging interior trim pieces and LCD displays going out. Engines are basically no maintenance.

not sure about maintenance...but it always amaze me how the e46 still look so hot after almost 10 years and 2 generations (e90 & f30)
saw a very clean e46 zhp like this yesterday..  /800x500/07-330ci-e46-coupe-(2002).jpg) %20Performance%20Package/2005_BMW_330ci_(_E46_)_Performance_Package_002_6724.jpg)
(btw...coupe only...i hate the look on the sedan)

ZHP/ZCP Sedans... 
pretty solid cars and have great build quality.. I usually recommend them over the E90's..

I rather people perpetuate the myth that e46 is hard and expensive to maintain..Heck all BMWs are. so don't buy them please!  good used ZHP is hard to come by enough as it is. Quote:

The ZHP is a beautiful car and if I could do the E46 thing all over again, I would wait for a good example. None of the maintenance of the M3, but pretty close in terms of driving experience for the average driver.

If that zhp was 6 speed it would probably be top of my list for next car at that price/mileage/colour.
