Vehicle description

Model history:

The appearance of the M3 of the BMW E46 generation was tremendous. Compared to its predecessor, the M3 E36, the new M3 was anything but restrained: the top model in the three-series finally appeared wide and bulky again when it was unveiled in 2000. The wheel arches were widened by 20 millimeters, and a large front apron and the curved powerdome hood caused a stir. A spoiler strip, called the Gourney flap, on the edge of the trunk lid was suddenly a must again, as were the cooling fins integrated into the front fenders or the 4 massive exhaust pipes. Altogether scarcely over 85,000 M3 E46 were built to 2006, available were the body versions Coupé and convertible.
