The E46M3 is not a sports car.

The E46M3 is a GT car -- but in my book a poor example. The car has become too bloated and isolated to be a contender.

It is a shame what VW did with the GTI. It is a damn shame that BMW did the same damn thing with the M3.

With the recent addition of things like idrive, active steering and bangle styling; BMW is now dead to me. While I am willing to tolerate shitty sales people and horrible service experiences for things like my past two M coupes, there is nothing in their inventory that even remotely invokes this tolerance.

I might as well have a Porsche. Sure it costs more, but the dealers are still trained to kiss my ass -- and the car is a hell of a lot faster and better at the things my past BMW's did so well.

Don't let the M3forum see this. I'd be castrated.

 

It's cool. I really do wish I could have both... There's a local auto auction... bank repos / theft recovery, etc. etc. 03 s2000's were selling in the mid teens. I paid 35k for my 03... I'm gonna pick up another 03 sometime this summer, and gut the bitch all the way down to the metal.

 

re: straight to the metal


good idea

 

I wouldn't dare do this with an 04... they're to nice. Or even a dealer priced or s2000 under warranty.

Auction all the way on this one.
