The E-30-36-46 M3s were all beautifull. Classics in every sense of the word. When I got into a position to buy one, the E-46 was in the last year of production. BMW has sure managed to screw the pooch and ruin some of the greatest sports sedans/coupes that have ever existed. E-39 is another example. Enjoyed the one that I owned but I am done with the brand except maybe for an SUV. Like the previous poster said- lost the map chasing MB.
