No, this is the best car ever made. Because it's ridiculous and awesome as a result.

Its not the best, but its pretty good. Figure $15-20k for one. I'd take one over a Evo/STi at least, but over a C5 Z06? ehhh.

They're way better to look at than drive, to be honest. The British Lamborghini, except thrice as ridiculous.

desu this doesn't bother me one bit. i'm used to it with bikes, and well, its an over 100hp/L N/A engine. what do you expect?
>Rod bearings can crap out from factory spec'ing 10w60 on a engine with tight tolerances
Rod bearings on the affected cars were recalled by BMW, later S54s were not affected. The whole preventative replacement is a BMW owner foolish meme.

are you shitting me? could i get the full story? i knew Neons were pretty good FWD platforms but holy fuck.

Its bullshit. He's talking about an ACR SRT-4. Also the BMW was still faster.

>>14906125
I'm trying to find a better picture, it has about eight different reds all blended together in there.

ok but what happen exactly? did they take the SRT4 ACR to the toe-gay where it was given to dagumi and he rekt'd the BMW?

>>14906046
I dated a firl who wanted a Chevelle.
I made a joke about carbuerators acting up and she asked me what a carbuerator was.

I'm sure it's a great cAr, but that chick was a dumb whore and the two are forever associated in my mind.

>>14906165
No, its some meme article posted ITT where they drove the cars on a tiny track. No SRT4 would ever beat an M3 on a toe-gay. Ignore the shitposting.

No, the Neon just performed better. ACR just means Tokico Illuminas, 19mm Rear Swaybar, Viper Seats with Harness Cutouts, and 225/45/16 BFG KDWs from the factory on 16x7 BBS. You have to keep in mind the SRT4s were ALWAYS seriously fast cars. 220-230whp in a 2800-2900lb car that always had a decent suspension/chassis. Their biggest problem IMO is putting that power down (FWD limitations, even with a LSD).

>reminder the E36 M3 was the only car to not lose a single comparison until 1999 when it lost to the S4

>mfw fake ///m car with shit-tier us engine is most legendary m3 just because it was reasonably affordable

>>14906180
It is a tiny track that's a lot like a toe-gay though.

That said the E46 is a more enjoyable car to drive, and easier to drive to the limit IMO. I'd buy one despite its flaws.

>>14906131
>over 100hp/L N/A engine

No, this is just BMW being ass fucking backwards. So were a bunch of Hondas (F20C, 240hp 2.0l in 1999, no valve adjustments)

It's higher interval but hondas need valve adjustments too.

>>14906009
Did you conveniently forget how bullshit vanos is? How about the horrendous rotary-tier maintenance?

There's a fucking good reason why the price on them isn't e30 m3 and that's because they're not reliable and they have cooling issues out of the fucking factory not to mention if one of the owners didn't do the subframe reinforcement the frame is most likely garbage.

S40 m8. Especially the T5. Bmw is nice but honestly too common. Volvo anybody?

you mean premixing?
bmws are far worse

>>14906072
>Rear Subframe/Strut Tower tears require to drop the diff and reweld/replace the trunk floor

Done that a month ago, nor that big of a deal. Subframe and tank can be off in a day with two people. Welding and putting it back together is another day. And then it's fixed forever. Just so it when you replace the subframe and diff bushings. Fag.

>>14906447
The socks don't tear, but the body is too thin where the rear subframe is mounted and it can start to bend and tear if you drive it hard for some time. Literally every e46 had this issue.

>>14906222

>>14907112

Not really, it's probably the worst problem the car has. And I've done it precautionary because I take it on a track. If you don't brutalize an E46, it probably isn't going to be an issue.

>>14906092
Sauce. If it's this shitty time-compare siza again, you can fuck off.

>>14907129
Other than the retarded thin framework and the terrible excuse for an engine? No the e46s were doomed from the beginning.

I wish car companies could set their pride aside and just start manufacturing new examples of their superior previous gen cars again.

>>14907060
Anon, E30 M3s are far far worse. S14s need regular rebuilds that cost a lot of money.

>>14907055
Its optional to do on a Honda and won't break/wear anything out. Also does not require shims.

>>14906009
davis, you forgot your name

>>14907065

I forgot to check Volvos when looking for a new car, thanks for reminding me.

S40 have any known issues?

>>14906009
Yeah, but CSL. Every t*rk nowadays drives an M3.

>>14908577
S40 uses a Mitsubishi engine iirc

>>14907182
It's not pride, nobody would buy them. What you and 50 other enthusiasts would pay for one doesn't constitute a drop in the bucket of what it would cost to get shot straight to remanufacture older models.

>>14908600
Not the T5.

I think it's based on a Ford platform though.

They don't report shit, that's the difference. Over there it's normal and the police won't do fuck all about it, so people don't report it.

>>14906265
I know you're baiting because the E46 is generally accepted to have been the best BMW all around, taste aside.

You probably haven't ever driven a manual 330.

>>14908804
not to mention people dont go to the police to report crimes. they go to an imam. they dont have a legal system like the west. it's settled according to islamic law like our civil law. they might be required to pay a goat as reparations. or in the case of slaves, no penalty. one guy torture-raped his servant to death and got a fine less than the price of a new ford focus. remember these people drive lambos so it's closer to the equivalent of a speeding fine.
