Q: Should I get a BMW M3 or a Volkswagen R32?
I have saved my money and am considering a used German car. For around $25K, I can get a 2003-2005 BMW M3 (e46) or a 2008 VW R32. The BMW has a higher performance envelope, but the R32 has AWD and I live in Colorado. However, I do not like R32 without the manual transmission option. I do have another 4WD vehicle for nasty conditions. Which would be the better purchase?
A: Why don’t you think rationally?What do you want?Better performance or a AWD car.The BMW M3 is obviously better on the road and it’s obvious that it has better performance.But it’s not that good when the road is slippery,cause it’s harsh to drive that car with such power and because don’t forget that it’s FR.
Now about the VW.It’s a more compact car than the M3.It’s not so aggressive it produces less hp,but it’s better on the road when there are bad conditions.Its V6 engine is powerful,though not as the one the M3 has,but it is quite lazy and throttle response is not so good.So it’s less involving and rewarding to drive.They are different cars,so it’s your decision.
Q: Can i put a new engine in a 1999 BMW M3?
I’m a 19 year old with no car at all, but my dad will soon give me his 1999 BMW M3. i love the looks of it so much and i just couldnt give up the chance to take it. Anways… is it possible to just put a new engine in it and see it work like new?
A: Where are these figures coming from guys? USED, an engine for a friggen non-M 3er is 2-3K! Then there’s the labor rate, and I wouldn’t just trust Joe Schmo with the magnitude/integrity of this particular job either. To give you a perspective, I recently had a new transmission thrown in a 2001 325Ci for $6,000. Well, really it was covered under warranty, BUT that’s the going rate in that department. 4K for the part, another 2K for labor at approx. $100/hr (through a BMW dealership, that is). Beautiful car though, congrats! 
…………Oh, and in answer to your actual question, yes. It is more than possible.
Q: How can I raise my hp on my bmw m3 e46?
I have a bmw m3 e46 343 hp and would like to know how can i bring up the horsepower without installing a turbo, supercharger, or nitrous? What can I do? and how much hp can i gain?
A: put a cold air intake and a full catback exhaust and some nice header such as comtech or dc …all this might give u about 15-35hp in about $2000…
Q: How do I check the SMG fluid level on an E36 BMW M3?
I’m having problems with the SMG box on my E36 BMW M3 Evo. I have been advised to check the fluid level but I don’t know how to do this. I know where the reservoir is but there no dipstick to check the level?
How do I check it and how do I tell if it needs topping up?
Thanks
A: There are 2 fluids that matter to an SMG transmission.
First is the SMG fluid itself (the fluid used by the SMG pump) which can usually be checked by looking at the clear plastic reservoir on the right rear side of the transmission. The reservoir has a mark for the proper level.
2nd is the manual transmission itself (which of course like any manual transmission does not have any dipstick). The filler plug is at the left side of the transmission, and the fluid should flow out from the plug hole on level ground with the engine off.
Always use original oil for these fluids and get them from a dealer.
Never gamble on aftermarket oils when it comes to BMW’s.
Q: does the 2009 bmw m3 only come in manual transmission?
does the 2009 bmw m3 only come in manual transmission?
and if someone owns one, could you tell me how the shifting is without a clutch pedal? is it basically still the same?
A: The new ///M3’s come in two(2) transmission options. M-DCT or the traditional 6-Speed Manual.
M-DCT stands for Motorsport-Double Clutch Transmission. Whith this transmission, shits are smooth and almost instantaneous. Also, if you choose to get M-DCT, this transmission also comes with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters, similar to the previous E46 ///M3’s which were equipped with SMG transmissions. With these paddles, only the flick of your hand is needed to gear up, or down. DCT technology is the most advanced engine transmission available today, and is the preferred transmission for many renowned F1 teams, like BMW’s own Sauber F1 team.
Now, choose the 6-Speed Manual, and you have the same traditional feel as any other manual car. The gas on the right, the brake in the middle, and the clutch to the left. The new ///M3’s shift nob is ergonomically shaped and feels great. Shift can be thrown brutally hard, or soft. Your choice.
To sum it up:
Get the M-DCT if you are a weekend racer, or if you live in a heavily traffic area. (i.e. Los Angeles, New York, etc.)
Get 6MT if your towards more of the traditional driving feel, want better fuel economy, of if you love to track your car.
Also, MoK, it seems you’re not too familiar with cars in general, so I would highly suggest that you drive other cars before committing to buy a new ///M3.
Q: How much will it cost to fix this damage on a BMW M3?
I backed my car into my friends 2008 BMW m3, about 3mph there was no damage to my rear bumper but the front of his got a crack in the middle and on both sides the bumper came outwards and overlapped the top area where the bumper fits by about 1″. So I am assuming it will need a new bumper, so about how much will this whole repair or replace cost?
Thank you
A: your looking about $1,200
the bumper 400 to 600
2h remove bumper
2hr install
2hr prep, and paint
and materials

A: I think you’re either going to have to consult one of Jeremy Walton’s books (either “The BMW 3 Series Enthusiast’s Companion” – ISBN 0837602203 or “Unbeatable BMW: Eighty Years of Engineering and Motorsport Success” – ISBN 0837602068)
or
Ask Walton himself via email (don’t bother him via the telephone).

Q: When will the price of the E46 BMW M3 drop?
I know that BMWs typically hold their value well, but that doesn’t defend it against depreciation even in a minor sense. And now, with the release of the E92 M3 in the next couple of months, the E46 M3 will seem outdated in the sense of technology and engineering. Style may be put into contradiction, but facts are facts.
So my question is, when do you think that E46 M3s will go down in price to be able to find a 2001/2 coupe for about $20-25k with less that 50k miles on it? It seems that the lowest priced 2001-2 M3s have at least 80k miles on it and go for about $27k. That kind of mileage seems iffy, since something seems more likely to go wrong.
This is my favorite car ever, from the styling, excellent performance, BMW luxury, safety, and prestige. All I hope for is the value to go down in the near future, so it would become more attainable.
A: I agree with the last answer. I used to drive an E36 M3 and those had horrible resale value. The reason for it was that BMW dealerships were selling packages for other 3 series models that could make the standard 3 series look identical to the M3. In fact, there were M-tronic models that had the full M3 appearance package. While the mechanicals were far different, cosmetically, the only difference were the badges and mirrors- which anyone can buy from the dealer. Because of that, it killed the resale value.
All other M3 (before and after) have unique looks that aren’t easily copied. This shows in the extremely high resale value on them as well. The E46 will remain very high for quite a while. Have you seen the prices of the E92 M3? Tack on another $10K-$15K for dealer markup since this will definitely go the route of the twin-turbo 335i in terms of demand. This will make the current M3 prices look even more attractive.
Q: how do i hook up a amp to my head unit for the e46 bmw m3?
it is a sony xplode 800 watt amp. my head unit is the factory unit that comes in the 2005 bmw m3.
A: You better have a pro Stereo guy do that for you. Your car already has an amp and taking that out of the picture and putting in your own is a wiring nightmare. The wiring is very complicated for a Novas.
Q: Why do my tyres wear out so fast on my BMW M3?
I keep going through rear tyres on my BMW M3 every 2000miles roughly, ive used michellin pilot sports, goodyear eagle f1s and it seems to make no difference. I’m not wheel spinning off in 1st gear or doing anything like that although I do tend to put my foot down when i need to in through the other gears……………the tyres also are wearing evenly. Is this normal?
I dont carry any load in my car and the tyre pressures are alway fine
A: I don’t mean this in a nasty way, but if you have the money to buy and run a BMW M3 then why worry about tyres? If you’re having fun driving it then go for it dude!
I own a Rover 414 si, my tyres take a regular thrashing round corners and I’ve never stopped to think if it’s wearing the tread.
Have fun, enjoy your car……after all, it’s why we buy them
Q: Can anyone figure out how to set the clock in a BMW M3?
2003 bmw m3 – cant seem to set clock – read manual and all
A: Get the cluster to display the time… then turn the knob on the right on the cluster until you get the time to the right place.
Turn it clockwise.
