Goodbye E46! =( Hello E92! =)

S65B40 · 03-15-2008, 05:43 PM

Just picked her up this morning and said goodbye to my beloved e46 M3. It's going to be tough keeping her under 5k rpm during the break in period!

My old e46 with mods:

Leonidas · 03-15-2008, 05:44 PM

Love that FR interior. Thanks for the pics.

JEllis · 03-15-2008, 05:45 PM

A US version with stripes down the middle of the bottom cushion...

Nice

Congrats!! I think I saw your car parked there yesterday before it got detailed.

Looking forward to your driving impressions.

You are gonna have a great weekend!

Epacy · 03-15-2008, 05:46 PM

Great shots!! Like how you turned both cars around.

E92 looks a good bit wider.

With that interior, I think you just became Swamp's new friend.

!Xoible · 03-15-2008, 05:46 PM

wow both are beautiful! but seems the E92 is what you were trying to accomplish with ur E46's black roof

It's a reflection. Lando had this illusion on his pics as well.

Congrats. Very nice to see the side by sides before saying bye.

No illusion, it is a paranormal thing! The M3 spirits really believe there should be euro seats in all M3's. Our eyes can not pick it up but sometimes cameras can.

Big Windy · 03-16-2008, 03:32 AM

looks great...man, your e46 was a sick ride!

DJ9 · 03-16-2008, 03:35 AM

Very nice! Did you end up trading in your e46?

kpcoupe · 03-16-2008, 07:47 AM

can i have your old car??

Dinan540 · 03-16-2008, 08:34 AM

Contrats bro! Very nice.

I too really like your old M3. I think you did a great job on the mods. Very cool without looking boy racer. Curious how you find the E92 vs. the E46? I picked up my new M3 last week and find it to be more refined in every way. My only disappointent is I find the steering to be a little dead on center compared with my old M3.

montreal red · 03-17-2008, 10:47 AM

wow your old m3 looks hot too...

The old m3 felt much more sportier due its rawness. The new one is much more civilized and refined in everyway. It has really grown up, attitude wise and appearance wise.

Thanks. I'm doing something similar with regards to time. Trying to get one of the first 2009's.

Look at the bumpers! The E92 looks mean and the E46 is still smiling!
