Which one would you pick? I like the E46 because it still retains some of that boxy classic BMW styling and there still is a little boy racer in me
Also, ease of modding and amazing looks from the factory.
I think the 645ci needs some minor work in order to make it look great. I think it looks great from the back but looks too rounded and droopy in the front IMO and the flower power wheels are definitely not ''good looking'' . I would get one if it had the M-Tech front.
The interior of the 6 beats the hell out of the E46 interior but the E46 interior is more driver oriented IMO with the driver facing console.
M3 also has a LSD.

M3, especially if you can get the competition pack and Interlagos blue. That car is one of the best 4-seat coupes ever made. Great car.
Also, the 645 is over 190 inches long. It's a GT car, not a true sports car. It's a great car as well, but not in the same ways.

Definitely M3. And this is coming from a guy who drives a 6er as a DD.

voted M3!
When I went to Mfest 3 back in April, I've seen some of the sickest e46 M3's! It makes me want to get one, one day!

I would chose an 645Ci, ur young , i would want something big and classy + sporty at the same time (i'm almost as old as you)
the body style of the E46 is getting old
beauty over power(not saying that the 645 is slow
)
but if it comes to the price, its up to you![Tongue](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/tongue.gif)
I think you dont need the 'drivers' feeling if ur that young..
