I too bought my 320ci Cabriolet 2002 20 yrs ago still looks & drives like it did the day I bought it. There hasn’t been a month go by in it’s life it doesn’t get a compliment/s. It has been very well looked after has 145k on the clock & the mechanic who has worked on it from purchase just the other day told me the car has not had hardly any money spent on it at all apart from wear & tear. Nothing to me compares the feeling of joy I get every time I drive it I love it & doubt I will ever get rid of it 🤔😍
Im a big fan of the e46, im really close to get my hands into my first one and this review was so enjoyable, I wanted the 4 door but now I want the convertible
They also have hidden features, like your fools locks automatically after 15mph , you can open and close all your windows and sunroof remotely using your fob key by pressing and holding the lock or the unlock button, and there're many others cool hidden features
Amazing video! Very clear and easygoing communication. Great advice and mods. This is so helpful as I'm looking to purchase a similar convertible and am a little unsure about costs. Great job!
Great review man! I just picked up a 2001 330ci with the 5-speed and 115k miles. Paid more than you lol. $5700... But it's really clean and so far seems like a great car. Replaced valve cover and purge valve but otherwise nothing crazy wrong with it. I've put about 1000 miles on it. Really like the head unit you have! Will be watching that video.
I got the 2001 version in 2019 with ~175k miles just to drive back and forth to work. Paid just $2200 in Nevada for it. I also had two 1977 530i's years ago. Fun drivers.
It’s crazy how “cheap” these models are in the US. Over here in Germany you’d have to put about 10k€ on the table for a comparable one (even with that high mileage). Especially 330Ci (Coupe and covertable) are very expensive and hard to find in good condition. A 330Ci with 150k km (100k miles) would be around 15k€ in good condition. Keep it up 👍
In the UK E46s are usually fully equipped with auto mirrors & the M-Sport Package etc. You can pick one up from the region of around £2,499 - £5,000 for a really good one.
Good video and review G I’m from NYC this is my 2nd car and 2nd E46 my first one was 03’ 325xi and now I just got a 02’ 330ci for 5,000 I love the car way better condition then my 325xi haha I’m always looking back at it when I get out 🥰
If parking and neuutral does not appear on the speedometer but appears on the gear line lever and the car does start because no parking is appear on the speedometer
Thanks for uploading this video. I actually picked up my 1st BMW E46 today. Can you recommend an honest mechanic in the 925 area code. I have a slight oil leak and I'm not to knowledgeable when it comes to German cars. Thanks again.
I personally go to someone I know who does it at his house. It’s hard to recommend a good place but I would try asking around and see what people offer. Also check yelp reviews too.
I have this same exact car but without the M package. 29k miles on it and its in almost perfect condition. Love driving it on sunny days. Anyone know what it would be worth today?
The manuals need the differential welded. This is a major issue. Many plastic parts that are fragile. Do your homework and learn how to repair everything you can. These will require maintenance.
There’s different ones like zhp package but the basic sports package came with the sport steering wheel, sport powered seats, the sport wheels 17” and sport suspension
just bought this car for $6500 CAD, other than a few dents on the body, the car is in amazing condition and runs amazingly, I do need to change the rotors and pads , what brand do you recommend i should get that isn't too hard on the wallet?
Nice, I just got one 2 weeks ago too (323ci), 205,000km. 6,500 seems like a good deal. What was your model and mileage(km)? Did yours have any issues at all?
I have an E46 but need minor work. I'm looking at new cars to replace the bmw E46, but at the same time, I don't want to be spending crazy monthly payments I think it'll be best to work on the E46.. what are your thoughts
@CS Studios the battery keeps draining out after a day being inside I paid $236 for the battery and got cooked in the first couple days and went to go to the warranty replacement but we think it's the fuze box
