The BMW M3 E46 is undoubtedly an underrated sports car, yet somehow the prices for these have been rising the past few years. In this article, we will dive deep into why these cars are increasing in value and why you should pick up one before they rise in value again.
The E46's Quirks
Under this beast is a 3.2 liter S54 inline-six engine with 343 horses and revs up to 8,000. It may not seem like much but that's what makes driving this a charm. Unlike today's cars that aim to break records such as top speed and horsepower, the M3 E46 is a sports car that you can daily drive around mountain passes and beach roads. With a decent horsepower output, you could actually push this car to it's limits while still enjoying the benefits of a BMW and sport car performance. The best part is the exhaust tone because listening to the car rev and run is just a treat for any car enthusiast.
A dream car yet still obtainable
Prices for these have been hitting 30 to 40 thousand dollars in the past few years, and the prices are only going to continue increasing. If you have extra money lying around and can afford to maintain this beast, I would say go for it as this car is definitely a treat to both the eyes and driving experience.
