Good cars, although like the LCR, they are starting to show their age quite a bit now. Looking tired and dated in comparison to the new monster:drool: Quite a lot of them about also.

Standard LCR vs M3, not a chance in hell, not in the same league at all.

Remapped car vs M3, not all that much in it to be fair, only starts pulling away 120/130+. Upto 100 very very similar, i would say practically side by side.

338 or 343bhp depending on what figures you read is not all that much nowadays. The new brand of 2.0t Vag hatches are getting close to that with simple mods and will no doubt be quicker on the move,

But then likewise again, compare the new 2.0t cars to the new M3 and you are back at square 1 again.

A good friend of mine has the CSL version, and that's pretty nippy, have been out with him a couple of times, love the 8500rpm changes:D

Good cars, probably 1 of the very best a few years ago, things move on though ;)


i know what your saying Mitch, but an e46 m3 is 99% probably going to be my next car, BUT it wont be standard! it will be going up to Simpsons in Gloucester for a supercharger to be fitted! :yes: takes it up to 460bhp for not too much money! the e46 engine is strong and ripe for forced induction from what I have read on the internet! :)

Buyers market at the moment for sure, but running costs have to be seriously considered. Mitchy, not much has really come out in the last 1-2 years since the last E46's were made that would show one up thats for sure. Only the newer BMW models spring to mind? Which are no longer kept to 3.2's as we know.

James - Do it. :O

Threads like this are quite amusing...

I've driven loads of very, very fast cars. But being quick in a straight line doesn't automatically mean it's a better car.

My Ibiza was quicker than my E36 M3 evo and I could drive it quicker (due to lack of talent!) but the M3 was a far better car.
Same thing with my TME Evo VI... in the last two weeks I've been playing out in numerous cars that would have been faster in a straight line but they were no way near as good as the Evo.
For me it's all about driver feedback, my M3 was a lot more fun than any LCR I've ever driven. Something to do with FWD vs RWD.

I'm currently toying with the idea of an E30 M3, old 3.2 911 or RS Evo... once I've sold my Westfield. If I go for either the M3 or 911 there's no way they'll be anywhere near as quick as most of the other cars I've owned or drive on a daily basis but I know they'll be a lot more fun!

Just my 2pence!

Nice car btw, although a cab isn't my cup of tea either.

The car might be fast but I think its one of the ugliest bmw's ever made...the M3 seen in the sig on previous page looks good. but this is not at all what I would trade my cupra in for.
