E46 M3 Boot - Coupe vs Convertible vs 330ci
Discussion
Hi All,
So - I used to have an e46 330 coupe, and I loved it. I'm a working drummer, so sold it and bought an e39 530 Touring. In the 5 years I've owned it, I've had to carry my full drum kit in it about twice, so I think it's time to move it on.
I DO have to carry a certain amount of kit a few times a week, and it all fit perfectly into the boot of my e46 coupe. First question - I assume the boot on the M3 would be the same size as the 330? Second - (with the roof up), is there any difference in the boot size between the coupe and convertible? I'm not really set on either at the moment, but looking at the classifieds, the convertible seems to be a touch cheaper? But.... it'd be nice to feel the wind in my hair while I still have some!
Cheers!

From the owner's manual, E46 M3 capacity is 410 liters. I've had ordinary E46s coupes with the same boot size, so will be the same. So - I used to have an e46 330 coupe, and I loved it.

I don't think a convertible will be the same. I thought the mechanism, ate into space a bit.
If an owner can't confirm, maybe google relevant sites and if they say 410 for the coupe, chances are they're accurate for whatever they give for the vert.

Great shout! Will do. I don't think a convertible will be the same. I thought the mechanism, ate into space a bit.
