    From experience lots of things start to break at 100k. Based on experience with 3 E46's. Just get one thats had everything done and you'll be sweet. Only after spending almost a grand on suspension bits on mine +o(

    Thats on top of a front end respray, throttle body and other wee niggles.

    Best car evar tho :p I love it!

    The 330is are such an all rounder, if you don't have a trade in, why not go over the water to get one?

    A nice avus blue sport with black leather..mmm

    Aye, avoid the auto's. They totally ruin the car imo.

    I don't think the autos ruin it at all, infact I find it very relaxing when in auto mode.

    When I fancy a bit more fun i'll slip it into sport mode, take off the traction and use tiptronic. Far quicker of a gear change than I'd ever get in a manual
