2001 BMW M3 Description
"Drive it for a day and you'll be amazed by the immediacy of its responsiveness and by the sheer explosiveness of its straight line performance. You'll soon start to wonder why anyone else would bother trying to build a rival to such a car." -- Autocar
"The selection of mechanical melodies generated by the 3.2 litre straight six engine residing under the bulging bonnet of this ultimate variation on the BMW 3 series theme tops any comparable powerplant that I've ever tuned into before." -- Top Gear Magazine
"BMW have launched themselves into a new class, invading Ferrari/Porsche high ground." -- CCC Magazine
The Ultimate Driving Machine
I have decided to part ways with my pride and joy. Garage kept and pampered throughout its life, this E46 M3 is nothing short of special -- a true privilege for car lovers alike or the BMW enthusiast. The car's power is matched with its smooth delivery in a straight line and around the corners. The immersive driving experience is only emphasized by the heightened control of the six-speed manual transmission. And the Imola Red paint will leave you and everyone around salivating every time you see it.
This car has a pristine 10/10 exterior. The paint shines like new and there isn't a scratch or ding. The interior scores a 9.5/10, with only minor signs of age. The leather looks brand new, and sometimes I still swear I smell the "new car smell."
Mechanically, the car is also a perfect 10/10. Having only been driven on highways over the weekends, everything from the engine to the convertible motor runs like new. I have had no issues with the car, and have made no modifications. This is a complete, straight out of the factory OEM BMW E46 M3.
