The Story of the Original: The BMW M3 Cabrio from the E46 Generation

The BMW M3 Cabrio from the E46 generation was produced between 2000 and 2006. It represented the third iteration of the iconic M3 series, known for its killer combination of high performance and luxury comfort. The E46 followed the E36 that was around from 1992 to 1999, bringing some serious upgrades in design, engine power, and tech innovations. The design was led by Chris Bangle, with Erik Goplen handling the exterior design.Under the hood was the impressive S54B32 inline-six engine, cranking out 343 hp at a max rev of 7,900 RPM. It could go from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in just 5.5 seconds for the Cabrio version—setting the bar really high in its class. When it made its debut in 2000, the world was all about big happenings: Germany introduced the Euro as its currency, and Shakira was rocking the charts with “Whenever, Wherever.” These examples sum up the vibes of the time when the BMW M3 Cabrio E46 hit the scene.
