2002 BMW M3

Some cars just stand the test of time better than others. One look at this Graphite Gray Metallic 2002 BMW M3, and it's easy to see why this iconic machine is one of those cars. Compared to the standard 3-Series, the E46 M3 featured a unique front fascia, widened fenders, special side skirts, and model-specific wheels, all making the third generation of Bimmer's superstar car the benchmark by which all other sports cars would be measured against during the majority of the 2000s. Inside, BMW didn't forget that the M3 also needed to be a luxury car. A driver-centric cockpit begins with an aftermarket Recaro driver's seat, designed to keep this car's pilot comfortably in place, no matter how many G-forces try to interfere. A power-assisted, M-spec steering wheel comes complete with thumb controls for the stereo and cruise control. A four-pod gauge cluster features a 180 mph speedometer and a 9,000 rpm tachometer that utilizes colored warning lights to alert the driver when they approach the redline. A digital tachometer shows off this car's 134,272 actual miles, proving there is plenty of joy left to be had from behind the wheel. A heated passenger seat, sunroof, power locks, windows, and mirrors provide all the modern amenities one could ask for. At the same time, the Harmon Kardon AM/FM/CD premium sound system handles soundtrack duties. Under the hood, we first find a Dinan strut tower brace. Beneath that lies a naturally aspirated 3.2-liter DOHC inline-six-cylinder engine. Thanks to variable valve timing, multipoint fuel injection, and a high-revving disposition, this S54 motor could pump out an impressive 333 horsepower at 7,900 rpm and 262 pound-feet of torque at 4,900 rpm. This particular car features a set of catless shorty headers and an aftermarket exhaust, which means it is likely capable of producing more power than when it was completely stock. Those ponies are routed through a tried-and-true six-speed manual transmission before being sent out to the M 'Variable' limited-slip rear differential.
