Quick pics of my New ride - e46 M3

16v100bhp · 27th September 2010, 08:21

I bid farewell to my a6 and got myself an e46 m3. The car is bone stock, very "very" sparingly used and well maintained by the first owner. I never thought I will get an '04 in this shape. Got all the pre purchase inspection done at the dealer and all looks great (touch wood and yes, inspected the rear differentials too

). Posting below some pics of both the cars

Congrats! Nice pix too. Guess you gonna miss the space you had in the Audi (and Audi too looks very well kept) .

The question: any mods planned?

CrAzY dRiVeR · 27th September 2010, 08:28

Wow! Congrats on the purchase!

In my list, this would figure in one of the most beautiful cars of all time! Such a classic design, before BMW got all bangle'd (Not a bad thing, but still!).

prashant.dinkar · 27th September 2010, 08:32

Wow Nice upgrade. I love that Bad *** M3 . Stunning pictures.
Did you bought it from auction or some car dealer like car max etc?
Can you give some details about the deal , how many miles , how many $'s etc?
Please sharesome interior pics too.
Enjoy your new ride.

Thanks for the comments guys..

@Jk, no nothing major as of now.. purely cosmetic - body color front bumper indicators, angel rings, blacken out grills, CF interior trim and an ssk.. thats about it for now.. should keep me busy and satisfied for, hmm.. a week

@prashant - Its a pure private party deal.. Go here in case you want more details on your type of queries

Wow!! nice ride man!!

Really like the flared wheel arches!

btw you might wanna get a paint protection film on it! ( chk this out - REALLY a fan of Paint Protection film now !! UPDATED Refilmed!! - NZHondas.com )

Thanks much for the link sohail.. will definitely look into it..

spawnofsatan · 29th September 2010, 10:22

Very very nice, one my favourite cars in my favourite colours!!!

Good thing you got an 04, the 02's have more issues and come with 18's these come with 19's.

check out turbo kits from HPF, they have some crazy *** kits, for not too much.

Nice ride 16V100bhp!!!

shamik.bose · 29th September 2010, 23:10

That M3 is delicious. Great purchase. Congratulations. DO treat us to more pictures.

This M3 has to be one of the best looking sports saloons ever. Just the right mix of aggresion, comfort, and above all, the "Joy of driving".

RJK · 30th September 2010, 00:22

Ohhh mann, looks hottttttt ! That was my dream car and I was sooo close to getting it last year but unfortunately I had to get back to India :( Enjoy it to the fullest man.
