This 2002 BMW E46 M3 costs $99,999 USD

The BMW M3 has been on the market since 1986, and since then it has become the favorite model of the Bavarian manufacturer among sports car enthusiasts. It was offered in coupe and convertible body styles until 2014, when it was rebranded as the high-performance variant of the 4 Series, the M4. It was produced in several generations, and in 2000 the E46 3 Series arrived on the market. A car from this generation, the 2002 BMW E46 M3 is for sale and the owner is asking $99,999.

The car is powered by a 3.2-L naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engine with 333 hp (248 kW) and 269 lb-ft (365 Nm) of torque. This is enough to push the 1,570 kg (3,461 lb) car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.2 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

This BMW E46 M3 is finished in Imola red and is in excellent condition, so it is not surprising that the owner is asking quite a lot of money for it. It has rarely been driven, which is proven by only 18,750 km (11,700 miles) on the odometer.

Although 22 years old, the car is still owned by the first owner who bought it new. Its exterior is in excellent condition and has been well maintained, according to the photos. The interior has also been well-maintained over the past two decades, and although the leather-trimmed seats have creases, it’s still not an insurmountable problem. There is not much information about the car and what is known is that it has a clean Carfax report.

The price of used cars is rising

The demand for new cars is growing year by year despite the price increase, but there are also more and more people who choose cheaper options, used cars. However, their price is also increasing. Customers are looking for compact and fuel-efficient cars, regardless of the powertrain, as well as vehicles that are equipped with new technologies and more advanced safety systems.

According to data for 2023, the price of used cars in Europe increased between 13 and 18 percent compared to 2022, and the same can be expected this year. In cities, cars with automatic transmission will be more in demand, which is not a new thing, considering the growing demand for this type of gearbox. Talking about the type of vehicle, buyers still prefer SUVs.

Analyzes show that buyers will be more flexible in choosing a car, taking into account both practical needs and the available budget. Statistics already confirm that customers are increasingly looking for more fuel-efficient cars.

Also, the purchase of used cars is oriented towards online shopping. The reason for this is the great interest in digital platforms through which many different cars can be compared. It is an indisputable fact that vehicles with a proven maintenance history will continue to be more sought after and valued.
