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.
The E90 BMW M3 was the first and only standard production M3 to house a rev-happy V8 engine under the hood, as all its new successors reverted back to using straight-six engines. This E90 sedan version was introduced in 2008 and was the second M3 after the E36 to be produced in a 4-door body style. It came with the same drivetrain and similar external styling as the coupe with only 9,674 sedan models ever produced. This particular 2011 BMW M3 comes with the Competition Package with related changes to the suspension and electronic stability control consisting of the ride height being lowered by 0.4 inches and revised tuning for the adjustable dampers. It also received a special “M” mode for the ESC. With a mere 23,500 miles clocked on the odometer, this BMW E90 M3 Competition Sedan with upgraded brakes and Dinan tune is for sale in Tampa, Florida.
How can you make BMW’s fantastic 3-series even better? Well, the purveyors of the Ultimate Driving Machine called upon their M division to do so. The result was the M3. First introduced in 1986 for the E30 generation, every 3-Series ever since has come with an M3. Over its time, the M3 has seen sedan, coupe, and convertible body styles. This particular 1995 BMW M3 is up for grabs, having 238,000 miles under its belt. Coming from the fine E36 generation, it includes the original owner’s manual and tape, two keys, and is said to be an all-original example. Moreover, its engine was rebuilt at 200,000 miles, giving you peace of mind since it’s only covered 38,000 miles since that time.
The legendary 2006 BMW M3 Convertible set the benchmark for every car ever made against it in the early 2000s. From the E46 3 series, this was considered the best generation of BMWs by many car aficionados, with the existence of the E46 BMW M3 is still a true sensation to this day. The understated but functional design, the famous S54 engine, and the linear controls and chassis that make any driver feel like they are piloting a fully-fledged race car; this was BMW’s attempt to build the “Ultimate Driving Machine”, and they nailed it. Reports indicate that a total of 56,133 coupes and only 29,633 convertibles were produced, making the E46 M3 a rare find today. This particular model, finished in a great combination of colors, has clocked a total of 68,045 miles on the odometer over its life of 18 years. We're told that the servicing is up to date and the car comes with a new battery. This iconic 2006 drop top four-seater sports car is up for sale in Cleveland, Ohio.
The BMW M5 is the high-performance variant of BMW’s popular midsize or executive sedan. Designed to offer proper performance to the enthusiast driver with a family, the M5 has gained a cult following all over the world since the first E28 M5 rolled off the lines in October 1984. Between 1998 and 2003, the E39 M5 ruled the BMW fleet and has since gained a place of immortality. Meanwhile, the E39 was the first M5 to use a V8 engine, a beautifully tuneful naturally aspirated unit. It’s no surprise that the E39 M5 is one of the most sought-after in the M5 series. So, we’ve got a 2001 BMW M5 with just 43,000 miles on the clock for one lucky enthusiast to snap up. The car comes with all info as reported by the current owner and some tasty Dinan enhancements to make it even nicer to drive.
Convertibles have always provided a relaxing, smooth driving experience, but one aspect that is often missing is driver engagement. They have always been better suited to cruising along a country road rather than tearing up hairpins and snaky twists. This 2000 BMW Z3, which has just 60,000 miles on the clock, provides everything. Rear wheel drive, a manual transmission, and that sweet straight-6 soundtrack, it is a masterpiece.
Heralding BMW’s entry into electric and hybrid mobility, the German automaker’s i-series kicked off with the i8. What a way to start; here was a low-slung two-seat sports car that looked straight out of a sci-fi movie. The i8 featured groundbreaking styling by Benoit Jacob, and a surprising choice of engine – mid-mounted of course. Naturally, there are quite a few fans of the i8, and we’ve got a pleasant 9,000-mile 2014 BMW i8 for one lucky person to grab. So, if you’ve been lusting after an i8, drop whatever you’re doing right now and call us pronto.
