    E46 Bodystyle standing the test of time

    How often do you guys get comments like "you car doesn't look like a 10 year old car at all, half that"?

    I haven't gotten that with this car, but it really is a great body style. I think the E46 will still look great in 20-30 years. It's one of those classically good looking cars. I also think the same of the E39s

    Someone thought my car was newer than an early e90 sedan. Still looks great after all these years.

    Same the first day I drove it to school they thought I got a brand new Bimmer! I laughed and said brand new in 04.
