You don\u2019t have to look very hard to find kind words about the BMW E46 M3. But let me take a stab at it anyway.\u00a0For one, the car is very pretty. Bulging front and rear fenders give the impression that the car was stretched over the wheels \u2013 looks befitting an \u201cUltimate Driving Machine\u201d. And out of the box, the BMW E46 M3 had nearly 50\/50 weight distribution, making it very neutral, with controllable and predictable oversteer. Old-school hydraulic steering is familiar and heavy, but responsive and very communicative. Then there\u2019s the 3.2-liter S54 inline six-cylinder engine; conjuring motorsport ghosts long departed with its unique rasp and 8,000 rpm redline shriek. Simply put, they don\u2019t make them like this anymore \u2013 and won\u2019t ever again.<\/p>\n

But none of that is even remotely recent news. Nor would it a headline to state that prices for these have been consistently trending upwards. The window of time available for picking one of these legendary driver\u2019s cars up for a palatable price is closing quickly; and this guide will help you find a good one.<\/p>\n
