E46 is one of the best BMW cars, still lovin it so much!

The e46 looks the absolute best.

In 2005 when I was buying the e90, some people thought I was buying the older model and that the e46 was the new one!!

The e90 looks soo much better that the f30.

Funny that I found this thread. I pull up into a gas station last night in my new red F30 sportsline and right next to me was, just by coincidence, a super clean red E46. Guy had the BBS rims and aftermarket angel eyes with tint. Nothing else. I stood there and thought, wow. Timeless and still panty dropping. If only I had a camera. 2 bimmer, 2 generation aparts, but still sexxy as hell.

Man I was ok figuring $52-54k (USD) for a 335i xDrive in September, but the local dealer is asking $57k for a 2012 335i with the same packages I was going to get in the xDrive.

Howow

it appears wider due to the distortion of the camera...at least going by the first pic

the f30 is really growing on me though...like it the most out of the 3.
