The BMW E46 M3 GTR was the first M3 ever to feature a V8 engine. Via bmw-m.com Throughout history, there have been many car manufacturing companies, many have remained during the years, some have disappeared, and others had just evolved. A total of 85,766 BMW E46 M3s were made, including 29,633 convertibles and 56,133 coupes. It was produced from 2000 to 2006, when the contentious V8-powered E90 took its place. Over 14,000 more units were produced overall than the E36 M3 that came before it and more than five times as many as the E30 M3 from the 1980s. EWTy. 179 440 468 29 305 95 92 46 138
