BMW M3 (E46) | Buyer's guide with Everything M3s

The BMW M3 is without doubt one of our all time favorites. E46 M3s have been particularly popular on Collecting Cars and so we decided to go and meet Darragh Doyle from Everything M3’s to take a closer look at the E46 generation and discuss what you should consider if you are thinking of buying one.

What make or model shall we do an in-depth buyer's guide on next?
