Nice man, those motors are great. They last forever I have a buddy with one. That car would suck with auto tranny. About the only type of car I like with autos are trucks. I like having a 4wd vehicle with auto. Prefer it. Sports car tho, give me manual or the smg.

I owned this 1994 300zx for about 8 years. When I smooshed it, it had 198k on it.

On German cars, Volkswagen would be the last brand I'd buy, no hate, it's just that Mercedes/BMW/Audi/Porche shit all over in style.

Thanks man, that M3 has been a great car so far. I've only had one problem with it and it was scary but super easy to fix. Was an oil leak, but it came from a bolt on part that the washer failed on. I fixed it myself. (although I almost shat myself after noticing it was a huge oil leak - immediately thought cracked block)

You've got the E46 M3, good choice. I dislike the look of the newer model M3's.

I take it you live in the States too? As to run an M3 as a daily over here in the UK is pricey. I looked into buying and running one, way too pricey and fuel thirsty for my budget so i ended up settling with a 330 Ci M-Sport. 100bhp less then the M3 but certainly still fun to drive.

oh.. and HAS to be in manual.

I agree about the new body styles. I never liked the new ones after the e46. It does eat gas a little but considering the performance its pretty reasonable. Definitely one of the best driving cars I've ever owned. I was running with a Ferrari on a really curvy road (was a 458) and he couldnt lose me at all. We hit the highway and he disappeared tho lol. I have nothing bad to say at all about the e46 M3. GREAT car for sure, and if you own one youll love it.

Working on it can be interesting lol.
