2005 BMW M3 E46 Coupe | London

A BMW M3 E46 Coupe, the two-door performance BMW known for its naturally aspirated straight-six, which revs to 8,000rpm. Flared arches, a power-bulge bonnet and four exhaust outlets give the shape its purpose. Later M3s moved away from that kind of engine, which explains much of the E46's following. This car is finished in metallic grey with a black leather interior, and it is in excellent condition. The grey keeps the look understated, so the wide arches and quad exhausts do the talking. It has a 3200cc engine and the sequential gearbox rather than the manual, so gear changes are handled electronically. Film and TV productions get a cool, urban look and an early-2000s performance car. Photographers and fashion and editorial teams get strong lines and a quiet colour to frame. Music videos and adverts make use of the same flared stance. It also suits a wedding arrival or a birthday treat. The car is based in London.
