![]() ![]() Starting in early 2002, a front strut bar became standard equipment, and buyers could option things like 19-inch forged alloy wheels and brushed aluminum interior trim. Bi-Xenon headlights became available in late 2001, while an in-dash CD player was added as standard. Inside, the M3 got M-specific sport seats with side bolster adjustment, a three spoke steering wheel with M-colored stitching, an illuminated M-badged shift knob, M-specific gauge cluster, M3-badged door sills, and a handful of model-specific cloth and leather material.Īlthough the car didn’t change much visually during its production run, BMW continuously added new standard features and options to keep things fresh. There are bespoke side mirrors, wider kidney grilles, a quad-exit exhaust, and a raised “power dome” hood. The fenders are almost one inch wider all around, with model-specific grilles found on both sides. Most of the changes are subtle, but easy to spot if you know what to look for. Like most M-badged BMWs, the E46 M3 doesn’t actually look too different from a standard 3-Series of the era.
