MilesP 13 Report post Posted March 16, 2019 Hi all, I am toying with the idea of picking up an E46 M3 with the manual box. The idea is buy it, store it and drive it maybe three or four times a year (I live overseas) and let it appreciate. Does anyone have any recommendations for dealers I might be able to approach to put an eye out for me? Side topic - Who thinks or doesn't think that the E46 M3 will appreciate into a sought after classic? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted March 16, 2019 There’s a nice one on tm in silver and manual with lots of spare parts. Big asking price but looks good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnM575 112 Report post Posted March 17, 2019 I would be buying a Z4M if you want more significant appreciation over the short to medium term, and if you only plan on driving a handful of times per year. Same S54 engine, manual box, but much lower production numbers. I appreciate more $$$ (and patience) may be required to get into one of those though. Most of the good condition E46 M3’s have been sold privately lately FYI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulo 66 Report post Posted March 18, 2019 ...there's another nice example just listed on TradeMe here: https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1990011603.htm?rsqid=f0500b853db94e1c990e6f7e7cd34bb6 Looks to be fairly well sorted. UK Import. I think it's a fair asking price for what it is... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
