Strap in as we explore two decades of BMW E46 M3 ownership, revealing the highs, the lows, and realities of maintaining one of the best-looking and best-driving cars BMW ever made.
Key topics covered:
1. Maintenance Reality Check -- I break down the 20 years of maintenance performed on my BMW M3 from new in 2004 through today. I share my perspective maintaining this special car over the years.
2. Unusual Ownership Perspective -- Following my previous video on the topic 3 years ago, this update reflects my changed perspective after buying my brother's BMW M3 twelve years ago and looking after it since.
3. Costs & Value -- I outline the expenses by year, share my investment decisions, and discuss the ongoing maintenance and value-added modifications associated with my long-term ownership, including the SMG to Manual transmission swap we took on last year.
4. "The Big 3" -- My perspective on the rod bearings replacement, rear subframe reinforcement, and VANOS issues common to the E46 M3.
