Vinny’s BMW E46 M3

Written by James Bennett aka “WBJ”

“The Dream-Come-True-Daily-Driver”. That is what Vinny calls this 2001 BMW E46 M3. The inline six in the M3′s are legendary and in 2001 they were arguably at there best after receiving a total rework and a power bump to 333 hp. When you mate this to the reliable getrag 6speed you have a car that really is tough to beat. Its fast yet civil, its baller yet aggressive. Vinny chose the rare Laguna Seca Blau Paint or “Smurf Blue” as I call it. This is Vinny’s daily so mods are kept minor, a nice drop with some 19″ Hamann PG3s in Chrome and a Hamann Chin Spoiler set off the exterior. Nothing more than a drop in filter and exhaust are needed in the performance department.

I agree with Vinny, this really is The Dream-Come-True-Daily-Driver.
