"Drive it for a day and you'll be amazed by the immediacy of its responsiveness and by the sheer explosiveness of
its straight line performance. You'll soon start to wonder why anyone else would bother trying to build a rival to
such a car." -- Autocar
"The selection of mechanical melodies generated by the 3.2 litre straight six engine residing under the bulging
bonnet of this ultimate variation on the BMW 3 series theme tops any comparable powerplant that I've ever tuned
into before." -- Top Gear Magazine
"BMW have launched themselves into a new class, invading Ferrari/Porsche high ground." -- CCC Magazine
The Ultimate Driving Machine
I have decided to part ways with my pride and joy. Garage kept and pampered throughout its life, this E46 M3 is
nothing short of special -- a true privilege for car lovers alike or the BMW enthusiast. The car's power is matched
with its smooth delivery in a straight line and around the corners. The immersive driving experience is only
emphasized by the heightened control of the six-speed manual transmission. And the Imola Red paint will leave you
and everyone around salivating every time you see it.
This car has a pristine 10/10 exterior. The paint shines like new and there isn't a scratch or ding. The interior
scores a 9.5/10, with only minor signs of age. The leather looks brand new, and sometimes I still swear I smell the
"new car smell."
Mechanically, the car is also a perfect 10/10. Having only been driven on highways over the weekends, everything
from the engine to the convertible motor runs like new. I have had no issues with the car, and have made no
modifications. This is a complete, straight out of the factory OEM BMW E46 M3.

2012 Pebble Beach Concept Car Lawn offers a tutorial in cars to come
Sun, 19 Aug 2012The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is a showcase for some of the world's most exquisite vintage vehicles, but if newer metal is more your speed, the Concept Car Lawn is the place to be.
This year saw models from Bugatti, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, McLaren and Bentley as well as SRT, Hennessey, Infiniti and Lexus among others. The ultimate sampler platter of exotic and concept vehicles saw the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse mingle with the Lamborghini Urus Concept and the mighty Hennessey Venom GT, though we found ourselves particularly smitten with the BMW Zagato Roadster and the Aston Martin Vanquish.
Not that we could go wrong anywhere we looked. The 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed seemed perfectly content parked on the manicured putting green, as did the McLaren MP4-12C Spider. Get cozy with the full gallery below to see the smattering of metal on the lawn.
BMW 2 Series Coupe priced from $33,025* ahead of Detroit debut
Fri, 13 Dec 2013BMW is definitely going to have its hands full at next month's Detroit Auto Show. The big news might be the debut of the M3 and M4, which were previewed in our Deep Dive, but joining those performance cars under the bright lights will be the all-new 2015 BMW 2 Series Coupe.
While we already know most of the details about the 2 Series and its available M Performance parts, BMW has now announced that the Coupe will go on sale in the first quarter of next year with a starting price of $33,025 (*plus $925 for destination) for the base 228i. This price is about $1,500 more than the current 1 Series Coupe, which starts at $31,500, while the M235i's starting price of $44,025 is almost $500 more than the existing 135is Coupe. There is still no indication as to when we'll see 2 Series Convertible unveiled.
In addition to new M cars and the 2 Series, BMW's display will also reveal another new color-theme package for the Z4. Last year we saw the Hyper Orange package, and this year will give us the Ivory White Burnt Sienna Z4 available in an exclusive Sparkling Brown Metallic exterior paint color. Scroll down for the full press release of production vehicles BMW has planned to showcase at Detroit's Cobo Hall next month.
Two rare Alpina BMWs given the Petrolicious treatment
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Alpina is getting more and more ink because of because of that rolling cannonade known as the B7 and its closer ties with BMW. The company's tuning business dates to 1962 when Burkard Bovensiepen began fiddling with Weber carburetors, then his company began racing in 1968 and was eventually certified as an automaker in 1983.
Two of its rarer specimens from those early years have gotten a glance from the folks at Petrolicious: the E24 B10 and E24 B7S. Based on the BMW 6 Series, the Alpina versions made one of the most special coupes from the Eighties even more so. According to the video, there were only 44 B10s made, and the turbocharged, 333-horsepower B7S - this was in a luxury coupe in 1982, mind you - saw only 33 examples produced.
You won't be sorry to find out more about them - and see how they run - in the Petrolicious video below.
