2005 BMW E46 M3
BMW has had a loyal fan base for years, including Joe Rogan, and often introduced folks to their first high performance car. When BMW released a special version of the M3 CSL (Coupe Sport Lightweight) in 2005, car gurus were thrilled.
The limited edition 2005 BMW E46 M3 came with the Competition Package that offered some upgrades including 19″ BBS Alloy wheels, stiffer springs which meant more proficient suspension. Sensitive steering gear boxes incorporated 14.5:1 transition ratios, meaning more accurate yields and increased sensitivity in response time. Staying on pace with traction, M-Track mode for electronic stability control was upgraded to provide a ‘true to feel’ sensation when banking agile turns. Brakes with larger pistons were used to increase safety at higher speeds and Alcantara steering wheel and handbrake covers upgraded for a more luxurious look.
The next car isn’t yet a classic, but surely will be a valuable addition for any classic car collection..
