Thanks jmslf150, but I don't quit see one going up 16 times it's cost in 63 years. Granted there my be a few left by then but this Ford will be 126 years old and still probably driven by one of my grand children.

No doubt! it's a sweet ride for sure! i was just saying the E46 M3 isn't depreciating, but certainly not at your rate of appreciation!

996 was my fav until the 991's came out .. driving the 991 around town it was so boring .. got it on the highway and let those turbo's breathe .. man it's amazing and sounds great

Not gonna lie, its a fun car, fast as hell, and cuts corners like a rabbit. If you do decide to get a 996 or 997.1 do yourself a favor and get the turbo, the n/a cars suffer from a myriad of engine problems that the turbos dont (different motor). There is a reason why they are so cheap these days, and the reason in the damn travesty of the M96 motor design.

they will go back to MSRP?!!!! Lol. I can buy them for $900 at auction they’re not going to go back that high, ever. Maybe low mile pristine ones.

Ha, good ****. When I saw E46 I thought it must be a CEL code or something but I clicked it anyway. Nice seats!

Had an '04 330i sedan ZHP 6 sp in Silver Grey with Grey leather interior. Such a fun car that sounded so damn good. My love of that car got my wife into an '08 X3 M-sport 3.0si and now into a X3 M40i that is just amazing. Still have very fond thoughts about that car though and I'm a little sad that I let it go to get my current F-150 but didn't have the room or time to have a toy.
