- This E46 M3 looks in stock but hides a turbocharged configuration pushing up to 600 horsepower.
- A standard E46 M3 delivers 333 horsepower and 262 LB-PI against its online 3.2 liters.
- With the exception of the engine, most of the parts of this Laguna Seca Blue M3 are original.
The BMW M3 E46 is rightly considered to be one of the most beautiful generations of Ms never published. Demand and interest in these cars have reflected in their increased increase in the used automotive market. There are many incredible E46s, and this Laguna Seca Blue One is particularly intriguing. Unlike most of the other E46 M3 that you will meet, it is turbocharged.
Yes, some enthusiasts and purists will cry out on the roofs that the car has been ruined by adding forced induction to the legendary online of 3.2 liters S54. They have a point, because this engine is superb in the shape of a stock and likes nothing more than being extended. The slaps on a turbocharger promises to radically change the character of the six-six online. But, if you want electricity, forced induction sometimes is the only solution.

As standard, the 33 liter of the E46 delivers 333 hp and 262 LB-PI (355 nm) of torque. Thanks to the maximum turbocharger kit PSI Stage 1, this M3 now offers approximately 450 hp on 91-octane fuel and around 600 hp on 100 Octane. Like the original car, this growl is sent to the rear wheels gracked with a six -speed manual transmission.
What we like in this modified M3 is that it does not shout the changes. In fact, the exterior is almost entirely in stock, with the exception of the lowering springs that have been installed. He has the original 19 -inch wheels finished in silver and wrapped in 265/30 Hankok Ventus V12 EVO2 tires.
The cabin is also in good condition. It rocks the heated and adjustable front seats in leather dressed in gray Nappa leather, and there is also a lot of comfort of creatures. These include the cruise control, a Harman Kardon sound system and automatic air conditioning.
The list does not mention when the car has been turbocharged, but says that the M3 has around 107,000 miles (~ 172,000 km) to its credit. He also mentions a gear lever from Dinan and an exhaust of spare game chat have been installed. If you want to drive in this very special BMW, head to bring a trailer to place an offer before it is too late.
