Know where your coming from … grew up around Sierra and Escort Cosworths .. when I got to driving age cars were cheap but omg insurance was through the roof . Now I could afford to insure one the prices are mental .. Keep it as treat for your hard work Calvin man before they become absolutely mental prices like the E30s 👍🏻👍🏻
I know the feeling of buying a performance car from BCA... Your heart races as you start the engine!!! But when it pays off like this m3, its well worth the risk at the right price! Great video
Can’t believe the prices these are going for. My dad had one brand new in 2003, gun metal grey with red leather interior. Paid almost 50k for it with its options and sold it 3 years later for 30k. Sounds like it would be worth about that now 😂
I can’t help loving the E 46 M3. I love the colour combination with the black paint red leather. I am currently in the process of buying an F36 BMW 420 gran coupe In dark grey with red leather. And there was me saying I’d never buy a BMW. But it was the colour combination that grabbed me🤷🏻♂️😎
Lovely BMW, I'd love to some 80's and early 90's stuff on the channel, Mercedes 190, Sierra Cosworth, Sierra XR4i, 4X4, Escort, Fiesta, Punto Mk3 turbo maybe
Nice car that 👌, I also buy alot from BCA especially e46 m3’s same reason as you sound looks ect, I did see this one go through had it tracked on the app didn’t know you brought it lol, brought a couple of classic cars off you before well from a classic auction lotus esprit and 944 again didn’t know they was yours till I found your channel, love your ambition and mindset 👊🏻
A decent set of tyres says a lot full stop when buying a car shows they have cared for it. If you view a sporty car with budget tyres on it's an immediate alarm for me.
The fact that you could have done what you said and bought this car and kept it just by not doing the wonderful things your doing on planet of dreams just sums up your character mate. That's next level and makes you so different. Nice one calv
I've got a 2002 smg cabrio. As a toy it offers as much as a manual coupe, but different obvs, but much better value. Munich Legends are getting it where I want it to be but for now it's still awesome
The oil might look good but that trim laced with coolant shows the water pump is on its last legs... Other stuff that would put me off, peeling rear headlining, car used with no floor mats, dust and dirt layered throughout the centre console. Looks like new discs and good tyres though so there is that but that's counter to the lack of interior upkeep which is a little odd.
Ah man brings back some fond memories - had an identical spec to this 9 years ago but with the HK, around 60k miles and the boot floor replaced by BMW. Regret selling that for 9k back then.... be worth a pretty penny now haha *head in hands*
Matts was in a crash, and evils was the cheapest in the country at less than 10k, you pay for what you get, this car being one owner, then that 1 owner has clearly loved it too keep it so long and still be as clean as it is
Nice car, beautiful example.. watch out for a recall for passenger and driver Air bags, matt Armstrong just had his recalled for them having metal shards inside the airbags or something 😳.. hope everything is well with it 👍 keep the good content coming bro, big love got my entry on planet of dreams 🤞
BCA hard at the minute for the diyer who fixes up only a car or two a year... prices through the roof! That looks like a good un though done well pal 👍
Bmw should make this model reissue of their new model with modern dashboard.. I believe lot of people would buy it.. This model look timeless.. The most beautiful car that bmw have ever made..
Amazing car, if I had the money right now, I'd be making you an offer, I had a e36 bmw in 2005 it was the 316 but it was amazing and in white, everyone loved it, such an amazing car and one of my favs that I've owned so really would love to try the e46 m3.
£18k on a punt, hope all the 3 big jobs have been done. A buyer who knows these cars will be looking for them if you’ll be asking circa of £20k+ Sold my Phoenix yellow vert last year for £11k 🤦♂️ Contrary to what people think I personally don’t think these are a good investment, running/maintenance costs outweigh any increase in price unfortunately. Great cars though, wish I still had mine 😫😔
I’ve owned a manual silver grey e46 m3 for a long time now, glad to hear people say prices are on the rise, personally I don’t check for sales much but the internet goes in hard on these cars, “big jobs” and so on. Noticed there is no green tint on the top of the front screen ? Only reason I say it say it as mine didn’t when I bought it and had a hard time getting one fitted, but I’ve heard debates saying some didn’t have it from factory?
Damn I love Oxford Green, my e36 was that colour with matching leather interior but unfortunately it got rusty and was only a 318 so I didn't bother keeping it. I can polish Oxford green all day though it looks amazing!!!
What is Calvin calling e46 m3 facelift I don't understand? As far as I thought there never was e46 m3 specifically facelift??? Other e46 models yes, different headlights, led tail lights etc, but not on m3???
I know someone who has one , same spec, apparently only two in the U.K in this spec, and only ten six speed carbon black, imola red leather in Europe, so think twice about selling it !!
would love to own one but that will take a few years for me.... unfortunately a pothole did my whole left side suspension on my e92 and i have no car to even get to work...

This car though E46 classic
What happened to the Yaris t sport
That's had Paint at some stage not too long ago. The Paint is just way too good for the age and mileage.
Calvin, looks like this M3 it’s in really nice condition👌🏻... premium tyres always a good sign too
You need a M5 touring to match the M3 touring when it’s finished👌🏻👌🏻

@@waqzh6128 German cars always deprecate heavily. He bought an e60 m5 after that and that lost 30k in the same time period.

A decent set of tyres on the front of a rear wheel drive car tells a story.

You could be my ghost writer.
What a beautiful car live the look of it Calvin and as always another great video to enjoy.❤️
What an absolute gem Calvin! Should be in my garage.😢.great upload!👍🏻👍🏻
Good video mate, with the amount of E46 you've had, should be known as "Mr E46".
Make sure you get that headlining on the rear interior pillar sorted out 🤩
Calvin they all come with heated seats, and the connections are all there also.
just need to install the controls and connect the wires..
The fact that you could have done what you said and bought this car and kept it just by not doing the wonderful things your doing on planet of dreams just sums up your character mate. That's next level and makes you so different. Nice one calv
Looks like a good one. Wanted one for years and keep getting something else instead
I've got a 2002 smg cabrio. As a toy it offers as much as a manual coupe, but different obvs, but much better value. Munich Legends are getting it where I want it to be but for now it's still awesome
Stunning car, was my icon growing up this car! £43k new seems such a bargain compared to these days people paying that for a 320i !
People are pissed up that's why bro me being a trader myself I know for a fact I'll never own a brand new car, there's absolutely no logic to it
Dont forget inflation Thats 64 grand in todays money
U a r8 lad u. Ur videos get me through a stressful time genuinly pal 👍 thanks more than you know
My dream car when I was growing up too and now lucky enough to have one with less than 14k miles on the clock 😜

Rated. One of the best cars ever made. Beautiful
Great vid mate. I got a 2002 manual coupe same colour with the same leather with 75k miles, but I'm not selling anytime soon lol.
What a lovely car. Sounds great, and no naff pops and bangs!
Calvin your project car listed at £43k in 2003, I purchased it brand new and specd that kiwi interior, it was a pre face lift, reg YY03 KHB
Whens she on Planet Of Dreams Calv?👀😎😂 stunning mate nice one👍🏴 found that group on FB from the window, 60K members not bad👌
Been doing this past 20 years alongside my job as an accountant!
A future classic! All day long!
Love these cars Calv they are 338bhp 343ps plenty fast enough and they look so good from any angle 👌
Lots of love for these, i miss mine still, had a 2003 vert paid £12,500 in 2011 and sold it 2021 for £18,500. Great cars. 👍🏻
Calv, those C pillars cloth peeling off, just rip it off it’s like felt underneath anyway, it’ll just tidy up the interior big time 😁
Coming like Mat Armstrong
Still watching but judging by the state of Mat Armstrongs and evil gt's M3 it will definitely need work.....How's the rear subframe looking 🙈
Matts was in a crash, and evils was the cheapest in the country at less than 10k, you pay for what you get, this car being one owner, then that 1 owner has clearly loved it too keep it so long and still be as clean as it is
@@jordanthom8963 rear subframe cracking happens on all m3's not just crashed or cheap ones
Cup holders 20quid on ebay. 60second job easy peasy. 👌
Decent punt if you got the wonga with everything sky rocketing lol
Great vid Calvin as with all things in life go with your gut and 95% of the time all will be good
Great car mate, good price too!
Nice one Calvin. Bought a gooden there. Great review as always.
Nice car, beautiful example.. watch out for a recall for passenger and driver Air bags, matt Armstrong just had his recalled for them having metal shards inside the airbags or something 😳.. hope everything is well with it 👍 keep the good content coming bro, big love got my entry on planet of dreams 🤞
Love my e46 330cd. Its no M3 but its lovely to drive.
You were lucky getting such a good wbac M3🎉 what a beautiful thing
Coupé= “coo~pay” not a chicken coop lol
That’s a hell of a find. She’s beautiful 🔥
Someone needs to do a B58 conversion on an E46!
🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮
Rear subframe and diff - make sure to check those, engine shells etc too
These are becoming extremely sought after cars! Lucky yo find that beauty.
Lovely car! Wonder why it ended up at auction?
Probably an ugly divorce
That looks really nice from what we can see of it. Looks like your punt has paid off. 😎
Stunning purchase , keep it..
I'm glad I bought mine right before inflation hit. The E46 M3 will only increase in value. ///

I have a 2003 estoral blue manual e46 m3 i paid 7850 about 8 years ago it’s crazy the money they are going for
By far the nicest bmw 👌 beautiful
Bmw should make this model reissue of their new model with modern dashboard.. I believe lot of people would buy it.. This model look timeless.. The most beautiful car that bmw have ever made..
Except for the e39 m5…
hide it, value will double, treble as they become scarce and we go more electric/hydrogen. Definitely my favourite M3
I have an e46 330d msport and absolutely love it
Perfect e46 M3 👌 Still one of my dream cars
Very nice 👍just check that subframe
Can never go wrong with theses old school bms especially one owner you got a gem there 👍👍👍
Looking forward to this.

Calvin it is a free option. When they were facelifted in 2003, you couldn’t get the smaller 18s anymore, just the 19s 👍🏻
Nope. My 2006 came with 18s.

Just acquired a low miles one of these too as a project .. in rare Oxford green, same miles as yours and had M3 plate too.. uncanny
Damn I love Oxford Green, my e36 was that colour with matching leather interior but unfortunately it got rusty and was only a 318 so I didn't bother keeping it. I can polish Oxford green all day though it looks amazing!!!
Me too, dream car that exact spec. Hopefully I can get one before they go to to the moon in price
would love to see an audi rs4 b8 on the channel
My brother had one and we needed towing a lot and that was many years ago.
Now im looking at old M3's on autotrader 😅😅😅
you just bought my dreaam car gratz man
Is nice car is best m3 e46 ever
You might as well put this car on planetofdreams😅🔥

I love the m3 had convertable before I bought my Porsche 👍
Looks awesome but why has it been chopped in at auction? Fingers crossed for you man that the rear floor isn't cracked. 👍
Nice car calvin 👌 👍🏼 👏
Stunning 😍

I know someone who has one , same spec, apparently only two in the U.K in this spec, and only ten six speed carbon black, imola red leather in Europe, so think twice about selling it !!
Calvin Calvin Calvin what a buy that M3 was! Unreal you deserve it well done and will you be doing anything to it at all?
My mate's selling an absolutely immaculate one with everything done, if interested mate showroom condition lol
would love to own one but that will take a few years for me.... unfortunately a pothole did my whole left side suspension on my e92 and i have no car to even get to work...
Wow. Just wow
My fav car, what a beaut 😍😍😍
Its a USeD M3, perfect plate for it
Absolute dream car
Friend had a derestricted 03 plate. Absolute beast. I hit 140 in it without realising. Felt like i was cruising at 70
Derestricted ?? they all do 180mph out the box
@@JohnSmith-ws1dp 155 resctricted from factory. Limiter is on 6th gear but theyll pull to 165 in 5th
If the subframe is ok. It's a bargain!
And the vanos, rod bearings. The big three cost over 3G these days
Fancy a POD giveaway on this gem 😂
