buying e46 m3

greenbeem · 10-22-2010, 01:28 PM

Hi, im new here and have been looking into buying a 2004 e46 m3 with about 45,000 miles on it for about 20k, first of all i was wondering if that is a good deal? second of all if i bought the car how much money would i truly be spending monthly on it? and my last question is, up keep wise, will theyre really be that many problems with the car because it is used?

-thanks

2004 e46 M3 is a perfect year to get since the first 2 years were affected by a major engine bearing recall. mid-2003 they started to get the LED tail lights and a must I think for getting a e46 M3. Since its immediately reconized as the later year model. 50k miles is good for e46 04. I recommend a good car fax and getting the VIN no. and requesting the service dealership to run a maintenance history report and lastly ensure few ownership. my previous M3 was an e46 02 and I enjoyed it. Now is the best time to get one... prices are dropping
