    Ok so I was able to sell my 530 after only 2 days on craigslist,so that freed up some extra cash. I spent a extra $2,500 and got a 2003 M3 fully loaded with no known issues. Drove het home from Minnesota last night no problems. It was hatd to see my beloved e39 go,but I'm loving the M3 even more. I would post pics but cant figure out how.

              Also, is the other M3 still available? Contact info or a link to the ad? Might be a good deal for someone.

              Congrats, but at the same time, boo to you for leaving the refined world of the 5 series, and going for a boy-racer 3 series, hahaha.

                Amen to that. But in all honesty, it was a baby 5 series. Especially for an E39 =\

                  Agreed......but motor swaps can be done. Really though, e46 M3's are awesome.....hopefully the OP won't turn into a total douche like most (not all) e46 guys are.

                    I have faith he won't. Once a fiver, always a fiver. He'll hopefully keep the mentality too!

                      I loved my 530 but I needed a change and some more power. Also it was a goal of mine to own a M of some sort and the e46 M3 is just such a hot car. No worries I will not be turning into a douche but I have been known to be a bit of a ass sometimes. I will try to post some pics once it warms a little and I can get a chance to wash it.

                          Being an ass is a 5 series trait. You're all good! ;)

                            Its dirty but you get the idea. I got both sets of wheels with tge car and wanted to see how the m6 wheels looked. The finish on them is messed up but other then that they looked allright. I put my summer set from my e39 up for sale. If anybody has some 19's that will fit the m3 that might want to trade for em let me know. No chrome. Lookin for something dark and aggressive for the m3.

                                    yeah, I hear ya. I wanna sell my rims, but no one on this forum would want them, and I highly doubt I could find a buyer on CL.

                                      Good looking car. I've never been a fan of the M6 wheels though.
