Default Looking for E46 M3

Hello All,
I'm looking for a E46 M3 with under 100K.
Where should I be looking? Auto trader is the only/best place?
US car is fine.
Thanks
Rod

Thanks!
I'm on my 2nd E36 M3 and I'm starting to realize that a 13 year old car is a PITA when you do your own repairs.
As much as I don't want to go to a E46, it's newer and more reliable.

My 911 with be 25 this year. They are so much easier to work on than my M3.
When the 911 sleeps for the winter I don't have anywhere to work on the M3.

I bought my truck in the U.S. through Auto Trader from a dealer.

Rod, if you change your mind about getting an E36 Me let me know, the guy down the street has a silver one imported from the US, low milage in mint condition for $12k.

Rod,

You can check www.cars.com too. Put in a bogus zip code and search the entire country. You could also get Christien to find you one. There, a free plug for a fellow RL'r.

I recall it was less than 100k when converted from miles, I can check tomorrow or on the weekend if you'd interested.

The long time Bimmer guys that I have spoken to don't leave a positive impression of the E46 line,.... ya I know it's an M3 but it uses alot of the same parts, check out the forums before you buy.
