If you want a late model car that looks good, goes fast, and gets lots of middle fingers from other drivers, look no further than an E46 M3. Seriously, I should know, I recently picked one up as a daily driver replacement for my 04 STI…and while the STI got interesting looks from people who […]
BMW’s E46 generation 3-series was an excellent driver’s car in the cheapest of trims, but it becomes a complete beast in the snarling inline-6 equipped M3 version. If you are looking for a topless 2+2 with a 6-speed manual that is brutally fast for less than $10k, it doesn’t get much better than an E46 […]
The BMW M3 was a good car in the 1990s, but the US version had a detuned inline-6 with almost 100 less horsepower as compared to its European counterpart. Thankfully that was fixed around Y2K with the release of the E46 generation BMW M3 with the full monster inline-6. Not only did the world not […]

As the E30 M3 market continues to rise the inevitable question is when will the E36 M3 market follow suit…and it’s possible that low mile E36 examples are already on the rise, but the bigger question is, has the E46 M3 market hit rock bottom? If not, how low can it possibly go? Find this […]
This next feature comes as a “friend of the seller” submission from Rich who writes my friend from church is selling his BMW M3…it would be a blast to see his car on DT and show him that I submitted it. I think he’d really appreciate it. Rich- You had me at M3. Find this […]
The C5 Corvette Z06 might be the fastest unmodified vehicle you can get for around $15k, but that doesn’t mean you want to buy one. The Z06 has 265 mm wide tires on 9.5 inch front wheels make for lots of grip, but it also can feel a bit numb, and the stock fender gap […]
There are few cars that will match the E46 M3 performance per dollar ratio. Not just few cars, probably none. This E46 M3 hits 60mph in about 4.7 seconds and trips the 1/4 mile lights at 13.5 seconds and 105 mph. In case you were wondering, that is fast for a street car. But it […]
