I have z question about bmws i know a few on here and a few other brought m3s both e46 and e93 and a lot seem to sell fairly quickly why is this if they're so good?

Just about everyone I've heard talk about them have said things that could be summed up in one word "Underwhelming".
They're not cheap to run and they don't quite live up to the hype.
Because they do everything in a very 'German' way - i.e very well and tick all the boxes, but without the idiosyncrasies that make things interesting.

What he said.
This. Had a friend who bought a Golf GTDi and he said it was excellent in every way, so he sold it and bought a scooby as it bored the shit out of him
Great if you want something that doesn't cause a fuss, but not great if you want to be grinning like an idiot every journey in my experience.
Probably why people buy them funny Nissan then..
350Z and change.
I doubt anyone that's driven an E46 M3 would call them boring. Cracking engine, SMG is mental fun, wrapped up in a usefully sensible package. Take one for a drive, redline it, and tell me it's boring!
Just sold my E46 M3, it was boring.
It went fast but it didn't have any real drama, it was easy to drive quickly or at low speed, but it was too "comfortable" and didn't really feel as fast as it was going. Mine was a manual and I know what zep means about the gearbox, it's hardly the worlds greatest

I stand corrected!
I drove one for a long weekend - also found it unexciting, like the Z4 3.0L I also had for a weekend - that was dull too. No exitement to them, but my mind might be changed now I drive properly slow dull stuff day to day
Admitedly, I did sell my M3 for an Exige because I wanted something more exciting, but in the context of a practical car that can seat 5 with a big boot, it is still pretty special. Compared to equivalent Audis, Mercs, etc.
I bought a Z4MC and love it
I think the point is that, compared to a Peugeot, the M3 is exciting. Compared to a 200SX, its uninvolving and dull.
It depends where you've come from.
It amazed me but it makes sense as the Targa top goes in the boot in one piece.
You can even get tow bars for them I think...
