    The E46 M3 still holds up well today. It's a drivers car and still puts a smile on my face every time I drive mine. I don't have to be the fastest car on the road, but I know that there is something special about owning one and being able to enjoy every moment behind the steering wheel.

      E46 is a brilliant car, no question, but I like my E36. For me, while the 46 is a better sports car, the 36 is a better car to live with every day. After 13 years of ownership, It still thrills me every time I drive it. TBH I was quite pleased how well it stood up in the drag race, but I think mine would have been closer. For one thing, mine doesn't smoke when you rev it.... just saying

      It would be down to its lack of torque in the lower RPMs. You can launch it well without it bogging, and then it all comes in with the revs! Beautiful engine the S54 is!

      I dont know where the price of 12k pounds comes from. In Germany you pay at least 50k for an e46 with original parts and with "lower" mileage.

    I've had several manual cars and the bmw was the only one that the shift knob use to pop off of or that I used to accidentally put it into 5th instead of 3rd gear. So after you said you're not the biggest fan of bmw gearboxes, I guess I realized they aren't my favorite, either.

    I just wanted to thank you guys for all the awesome content that you guys put out on all of your channels! I recently picked up this 2020 F-150 with the 3.5L Ecoboost and being able to watch your in-depth reviews on every truck was incredibly more helpful than the salesmen at the dealerships. I hope you guys get back on good terms with Ford. You do great things for them!
    Just wanted to say keep up the great work and keep killing it Andre!
    Thanks from Chicago,
