    When I first bought my E46 I had no idea what I was getting into. The boy racer in me just wanted a cool flashy car so it was my first choice over a Honda Accord at the same price. After 2 months owning it tons of stuff started to go wrong and I had to fix the car myself because I couldn't afford taking it to a shop. I knew nothing about cars but my E46 taught me real quick. I've owned her for a year now and at this point we've been through so much I'll never let the car go. I'll never forget the freezing cold night I had to frantically replace the alternator so I could get to an interview the next morning.. showing up to the interview changed my life for the better. If it wasn't for the E46, my friends and E46 communities I would have never made it.

    I've owned my e46 m3 for around 4 years now. If you want the rundown, buy a 6speed coupe, reinforce the subframe soon, forget the rotiforms and BC coilovers, snag a pair of Apex Arc 8s and Ground Control coilovers and you will have a great time. Also the subframe issue isn't as common as people make it out to be. Toss a Z4 shifter in there to make the shifts faster and it's perfect. Aftermarket intakes don't increase power unless you buy the CSL airbox (which is over $1,000) so keeping the OEM intake is best unless you really care about intake noise. As far as exhaust you NEED AR20 resonators welded in or it's going to be raspy asf. Euro headers are a great and cheap way to add 10+ horsepower and as far as the rear end look for Groupp M, Diablo, Status Groupe. Don't ever plan on the S54 making a ton of power unless you have bankroll because S/C kits are around 6 grand and turbo kits are in the 10s. Personal opinion is to keep it N/A, do FBO, tune, E85, and pray to make around 365 BHP. Might have sounded a little negative but I love my e46 m3, im never going to sell it, and its the most fun and "drivers" car I have ever driven. If your seriously looking for one, DO IT.

    • @iCuretheWorld
      @iCuretheWorld Před rokem +2

      @Sano preformance wise its "upper beginer". I started my journey with an E36 M3 which is less powerful amungst other things, but both great platforms to go as far and as crazy or as tame as you want. Even OEM it will have enough power to keep up or beat most cars on the road. The reason why it might NOT be great for a beginer is if you want one in a great condition with maintenance history you will be paying big time. I was lucky to buy mine 6 years ago mint before the prices skyrocketed. These are cars you want to pay more for a good example. If you cheap out you will be paying for it by abuse, questionable mods, and days under the car fixing it. Save up and get a good example of one in a 6 speed manual. AVOID the SMG at all cost.

    I've had my e46 for 5 years now and I have learned so much about cars through it. A lot of people think because it's a German car it'll be hard to work on or parts will be expensive and yes some parts can be expensive but they are usually pretty high quality and last a long time. If I had to give some advice on buying an e46 I'd say to make sure you get strut tower reinforcement plates if you plan on lowering it, make sure it does not overheat because the threads on the aluminum block will strip and if you get an early model ecu is pretty easy to tune.

    I've owned my e46 for a while now and I love it. What I would add to the list of problems is leaks. Your expansion tank will leak, you will have several oil leaks and so on. Just gotta fix the leaks as they happen. Also always make sure to check your power steering fluid, since that loves to leak out pretty damn quick and can make for some very weird driving noises and experiences during corners. Always check your oil regularly for leaks.

      inge Sörensen I know, like I said- got it for a great price, the only reason. And also yes, it is leaking a bit. I think I will sort it out and keep that car for a year and then will sell it and buy another one with better engine.

    My mom owned a 325Cic auto and I loved it, I remember sitting in the driver's seats parked outside of my house dreaming of the day I could drive. Listening to the radio and Waves-Mr. Probs came on and I broke into tears going off into a monologue of if I ever forgot about this car, play this song, and ill always think of you. Fast forward I got my license and would get up every Sunday at 6 am to rip it through the mtns, but I wanted a manual so I bought a shit box and let my mom sell the car. 2 years later I sit in my college dorm with its ass tattoed on my arm. Looking at getting one of my own. This is a truly magical car for so many people.

    I got myself one of these for super cheap and it has tested my mechanical skills but also has been the best decision i have made in a long time! I wasn't looking for a E46 and i have never wanted one nor cared for BMW at all and frankly i really wanted a 350z but when i saw how cheap this 325i was and how long it was listed for something just felt right and now im part of a super friendly community and i have a car with tons of aftermarket support and fun to be had along with a great daily driver! Sure it leaks and has issues but the smile on my face when i slap it into sports mode and shift it into 2nd to do some pulls in town is amazing! I have so many plans for the car but first things first I GOTTA FIND THOSE DAMM LEAKS!
