One of my all time favorite cars, maybe I can convince BMW UK to lend me theirs again next summer and bring it out to you guys 🤔♥️ Top bloke too, a real character 👌
Most beautiful M3 ever made. Yea the e36 and e30 are very populair too but the e46 is such a clean designed car. Clean, compact, relatively light and great interior. Love love love that car
This is the BMW to have. Even in its smaller guise, the 328Ci, the early E46 coupé is a beauty to behold. The face-lift models are not as well balanced, in my view. There was a reason, why BMW kept the M3 on the old design throughout its entire production.
@@OsservatoreSiciliano yup. Every time I touch this subject, my post-facelift E46 probably cringes a little in its garage. I still love it for its 3-litre inline six diesel lump, the two-tone interior in black-natural leather (not the beige fabric), the oxford green outside and its style 32 18" wheels.
1 minute in I saw the Polish licence plate. Thought to myself. If this guy is like the rest of the polish dudes we’ve had on recently,, it will be a good lap
Isn't this one just a manual with actuators to be an smg box? Basically it 1:1 standard manual, so the clutch is engaged all the way when he creeps uphill, also the fear ratios are comparable to 1st gear, so all should be nice 👌
Awesome! I worked on these when brand new at a dealer. Amazing cars, even a standard E46 M3 is a thing of beauty. So many people think they are a tuned up 330Ci. Totally different car, probably one of the best cars ever made. The exhaust noise is relentless. ❤️
As a Pole, who is watching your videos since CarThrottle guys came with a Miata, sudden outbreak of Polish drivers is... at least weird. But I love it!
What a noise with the CSL airbox, been waiting for an e46 m3 video for so long!! One of the best drivers car ever made. Tons of following with these cars too. I’ve been hoping for another one since watching the 700hp ringtool video. Thank you for sharing Misha🙏🏼
I have an SMG car in the family ! It’s an E46 330i MPACK. I love how the diff locks on the rear with every change. Only two cars were sold in Luxembourg with this gearbox. One remains 👍🏻.
Jumping from a tesla straight into a M3 CSL. Living life 😍. As i said in the other video i really like the driving style of the driver. He drove the CSL really well for the conditions. I would call it a fun lap. Btw I see Faby got the Schirmer M2 he was talking about.
Lukas is right about those older transmissions. They are much slower than todays modern gearboxes but once you get used to them you can work with them and have good control over the changes.
That car sounds sooo sexy 🥰. Thank you to Lukas for driving the car, even though the conditions were bad. Also thank you Misha for bringing this content to us. 👍
The Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R and BMW E46 M3 CSL are in my opinion the best sport coupes from the 2000-2005 era, developed so far ahead of their time and timeless styling.
Ha ha, Misha so knows his viewers. I saw it was SMG and immediately started to search to see if that was the only way CSLs were delivered, Misha answered the question before I had typed in the first word.
Good luck "testing" negative when both PCR and antibody tests consider every strain of flu as a positive. Not to even mention that high cycle PCR tests produce false positives at an absurd rate. But hey, enjoy the show and blindly believe and do what you're told, we're in a free, transparent society where lies of this scale can't exist.
@@austinobambino1360 Of course, if something is said that contradicts what the establishment says, it's a conspiracy theory. Call it that, don't question a thing, dismiss it and be calm. Deep down you're too scared to even consider it as a possibility, literally no words can break your conditioning. 10 minutes of research of just looking into the official stats would show you that a massive manipulation is going on, but you don't want to even hear that.
Good morning Comrade. As en ex E46 CSL owner I can tell you R888 are borderline lethal in cold & wet as you’ve witnessed yourself 🙈🤣. Original Mich Cup 1 ( which you can’t buy anymore ) or even the Cup 2 are much better suited to the CSL than these R888. Hats off to the owner for keeping it in the black stuff 👍🏼😎 and Misha keeping his breakfast in 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Damn right!! I only got those R888 cause there was no other option at local tire shops around Ring when i was there previously. So not too much choice for me. But on dry they are ok. You can go fast :)
I luv the E46 M3 CSL, and I got one as close in spec as I could get here in the US. It is such an great car to drive when there are no other people on the roads. Where I live , when I take it out I go into the mountains and find deserted roads to enjoy the car. There is a track closeby,but trackdays are just so expensive now,and I don't have to drive at 9/10ths to have fun in it. Im running Pilot Super Sports on mine which grip like crazy.
Misha I am sooo jealous...excellent job n videos n a beautiful personality...no wonder u got trolls !!! One day i want to see the ring and with you driving will be a dream ....
People complain about the SMG not necessarily because it makes you slower, but, mostly, because manuals are a lot more fun and they better suit the E46's character. Either way, awesome car!
@@byGiNeSiToX ahorra ahora que aun no estan por las nubes los e46 🤟 o a las malas uno volante derecha y cuando tengas más pasta lo cambias de lado, se vendio uno el otro dia en 14.000€ matriculado
@Tech Driving literówka :) Back to the 993 and out of the main topic. I once had a chance to be in 993 (regular one) as a passenger. I was astonished with it’s spartan interior and quckly fall in love. Well... that’s why I drive MX-5 since it was the closest I could afford that provdes that spartan feeling 😂
Nice car. If the clutch engagement was a bit more agressive like the maserati quattroporte sport gt I think people would appreciate it more. Every time you guys went on the inside you had a surprise. Wet line doesn't look sexy but clearly better :) first time I did semi slicks on wet on dry line I clearly understood the concept of wet line. :)) Fun video gives a more! :))
@@yung_richtah yes you are right. I love it anyway. And the car is gorgeous. It will be a valuable classic for sure. It already is. About swaps. Did Robert sold the E36 GTR that he was building? That car was amazing. I think he did but can't remember ;)
