What we’ve got on sale here is not just another E46 3-Series from BMW, but the range-topper, known as the M3. Since 1986, the M3 has been the best 3-Series that one can buy, fettled by BMW’s famed M Division. In fact, it’s won many accolades along the way, and is renowned for being one of the best driver’s cars out there. That’s why you will find many clamoring after this 2002 BMW M3 Coupe, despite its healthy 109,500 mile odometer reading. The typical M3 formula is a near-perfect blend of ample horsepower, coupled with superb handling, old-school driver feedback, and a dose of practicality as well. These are cars that could be enjoyed at the limit on a Sunday track session, and then used to drop the kids at school on your way to work on Monday. That’s why you really should give this car a second look…and a third…and buy it.
Compared with the E36 M3 that it replaced, and the E92 that followed after it, the E46 tends to be sandwiched in an era where it’s somewhat hidden by these two. However, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, as this 2002 BMW M3 Coupe shows off in a clean BMW Alpina White paint shade. If you park it next to a non-M3 E46, you’ll notice the different alloys that are reportedly wrapped in new tires, as well as the slightly more aggressive body kit. The quad tailpipes at the rear hint at the performance credentials, and the M3 badge is present too, although some owners like to de-badge for added anonymity and sleeper-esque mien, so that’s up to you. The interior of this 2002 BMW M3 Coupe features a gray color theme, and seats four occupants. Driver and front passenger sit on electrically adjustable seats, with 3 memory presets available for the driver to customize. As we mentioned before, the M3 retains practicality despite its performance persona, and this one sports a Harman/Kardon sound system, single-zone climate control, power windows, and factory BMW Business radio with CD player. There’s a decently sized trunk for your luggage too. However, hints of the performance persona are present, such as the rev counter redlined at 8,000rpm, the 180mph speedometer and of course, the M badging on the side sills, instrument cluster and gear knob.
Current generation M3s pack a turbocharged powerplant that can kick out upwards of 500hp, but this 2002 BMW M3 Coupe hails from a simpler and less emissions-concerned generation, and uses a fine 3.2L straight-six. Known as the S54, it sings a glorious song as the driver presses on, and delivers 333hp at 7,900rpm and 262lb-ft at 4,900rpm. New for the E46 M3 included electronic throttles for each individual throttle body per cylinder. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a slick-shifting six-speed Getrag manual transmission. The performance figures are 4.8 seconds to sixty from rest, and top speed is electronically limited at 155mph. New brakes and a recent oil change are reported.
As many of you have probably noticed, a BMW enthusiast will go haywire if you bring up the M models. There is a good reason for this, as they represent the pinnacle of the German brands' performance and engineering prowess. There are over ten M models offered by BMW so far, and you can choose from coupes, convertibles, touring, grand coupes, and SUV body designs. The M3 models have been produced for every generation of the 3 Series since 1986. What we are subjecting here is the E90/E92/E93 generation, which extended through 2007–2013. This stunning 2013 BMW M3 Convertible is an E93 model, which is treated with a few tasty aftermarket modifications. With only 35,491 miles on its clock, this M3 is available for sale in Calabasas, California.
One of the best driver’s cars in the compact segment is undoubtedly the fearsome BMW M3. Coming from a brand which once called itself the makers of the Ultimate Driving Machine, the M3 legacy began in 1986, as the halo variant of the 3-Series compact car. Since then, every generation of 3-Series has been accompanied by an M3 variant. M3s have been made as coupes, convertibles, sedans and estates, signifying a truly versatile yet hugely potent performance package for keen drivers. Today, we’ve got a superb 2022 BMW M3 Competition xDrive from Fort Lauderdale, Florida in our inventory. This 22,600-mile car is a Competition variant in four-door sedan form, and is up for the taking if you please.
BMW called themselves the makers of the Ultimate Driving Machine, and they certainly haven’t disappointed in the past. One of their icons is the M3, the high-performance derivative of their 3-Series compact luxury car. The first M3 came about in 1986, as part of the E30 generation, and wowed driving enthusiasts with its fizzy four-cylinder engine and keen handling prowess. Since then, there’s been an M3 for every 3-Series generation. Today, we’ve got an example from the E92 generation of 2007 to 2013. The E92 generation is interesting because it was the first and only time that the M3 got a V8 under its hood. That alone is reason enough to get your hands on this Virginia-based 2011 BMW M3 Coupe. The fact that it’s done 90,216 miles tells you that it’s a real addiction once you’re behind the wheel. Furthermore, this M3 has been blessed with an aftermarket forced induction system, granting it even more power to thrill. Strap in and give us a call or shoot us a DM if you want this wild ride to be yours.
Once in a proverbial blue moon, an automaker will showcase a jaw-dropping concept car and then…make a production car that’s very close in appearance and engineering. These gems of the automotive world are few and far between. One of those examples from the past fifteen or so years is the BMW i8. It started life as the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept in 2009. Two years later, BMW showcased a second concept called the i8 Concept, which was mildly changed. Then, in 2013, a prototype was revealed, and the actual thing was going into production by April 2014. With its space-era looks, hybrid powertrain and 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds, the BMW i8 was truly something like no other. Since production ended in 2020, it’s doubtless destined to be one of those cars that gains and maintains a cult following as time goes by. Just 6,776 were made in total, and we’ve got one of them today. Here’s a 2017 BMW i8 from Paradise Valley, Arizona for sale, with just under 10,000 miles done so far.
The Alpina B8 is perhaps the pinnacle of this niche vehicle manufacturer's range. Luxury in everything your hand can touch, and a pair of Weber carbs and a crank on their logo, reflecting the company's roots as a tuner. The first proper Alpina was not the old Fiats and Beetles that founder Burkard Bovensiepen tinkered with in his youth, but the A1 based on the BMW E21. Inevitably, they turned further away from being an outright race manufacturer towards focusing on their bespoke luxury models. Today, we have incredible examples like this 2023 BMW B8 Alpina Gran Coupe as a result. With as little as 9,494 miles on its clock, this beauty is available for sale in Cottleville, Missouri.
