2001 BMW M3 Coupe 6-Speed

Description

The 2000-2006 ‘E46’ M3 is arguably BMW’s last analog “Ultimate Driving Machine,” with clean proportions and understated styling that make it one of the best-looking cars of the decade. The automotive press and enthusiasts were effusive in their praise with a Motortrend road test titled “the world's best sports sedan… again.” Despite its age, the E46 is still a highly impressive driver's car thanks to the new S54 inline-six engine proving yet again to be another excellent six-cylinder powerplant developed by the brilliant minds of M Performance. With a desirable mix of modern performance with analog feedback long desired by enthusiasts, the E46 has become a highly sought-after modern collectible.
