Ever since I was a little boy I wanted to have a BMW e46...

I think it's also shit because of how it looks

>n52
>bulletproof

at least it's not as bad as n54 doe

...

What? Mine's 11 years old and never had a problem besides the water pump needing to be replaced.

Yeah no I don't like it either, but the engine is the real dealbreaker for me.

Get ready to feel that throttle lag. It's an issue that not many people talk about; which I'm surprised about. Even a Toyota Corolla of the same year had better stand-still throttle response than these cars.

Also, the windows will stop working after a certain amount of time. Window regulators in e46s are a huge issue. Most of the window regulators in my old e46 became broken.

imo, e36, e30s and sharknose are the best

>don't debate me
fearing you could get proven wrong?

Talking out your arse, the E46 is very well documented with pretty much every part available aftermarket.

try your best you smug fuck

if you can comfortably swing an e46 m3 and can drop $1500 a year on it in maintenance, assuming you do all the wrenching yourself, please do. the m3 is great

barring that, the ZHP was a nice almost-m3 without the huge parts costs
