      I wanna hear too. Shall I tell u mine? Bought one for 2.6k in Feb 2023. About 1.6k then on mechanic work (though I drove it down south from Sheffield on purchase, wasn't perfect but was ok) and about 200 quid on various cosmetic parts I fitted misself.
      Needs a teeny bit more tlc for the inside but aside from that is sound and a real belter.

      At least 2x2500 if the mechanic is his family. Otherwise 4x2500 and north. Didn't bother watching but english e46 bodies are mostly rusted and in bad shape, not to mention it's RWD so it's cheaper than a LHD. Most people are not used to sitting on the right side outside of literally a few countries worldwide.

      Yeh a reaction video when he handed it over to his mate was the ending i was waiting on. Usually when he buys cars he says leave it with me and i will get the work done in a few days then words ‘5 weeks later’ comes up in next scene. So maybe if we wait a few weeks, we will get the reaction and whats been done to it. That would be fun just choosing cars for people though😂

    Hi Matt. I have a 2003 325Ci M Sport in Imola red with 114K on it now. Have had it for 3 years, absolutely love it. Had a previous identical spec. car for 12 years, took it to 170K it was great, but looked terrible bodily, it had done all its' miles on motorway runs. However... hope this helps anyone looking at these cars. The M54 engine in 2.5, 2.8 and 3.3 version has a damning common fault with piston rings. My car looks beautiful, is completely rust free on top and underneath, looks like it has been really well looked after. Previous owner had it for 16 years. It now uses a litre of oil every 250 miles. Engine is sweet as a nut, no blue smoke from exhaust ever, passes MOT's on emissions no problem, but gums up spark plugs for fun. This shows up on diagnostic tools as random misfires before the plug fails completely and has to be replaced. Nobody who sells you one of these cars is going to tell you that it uses shit loads of oil. Remedy is an engine rebuild at a cost of more than the car is worth. The ring problem can manifest itself as low as 70K, it depends on how it has been driven and how many oil changes have been done. The worn seat looks like loads of ins and outs, exactly the same as mine, possibly short trips, if the oil has been left to the BMW service intervals then it is game over for those engines I'm afraid. Buying one of these cars is a massive gamble.

    The lambda sensor may need changing. Lovely car. I have 2004 330cd from new same colour combo. It's Mertyl wood.

    Like this ‘hunt for a car’ video style Matt. Would be nice to see the car after work done, in this case ‘a good buff’ 😊

    I’ve had my 330ci for just over 6 months and it puts a smile on my face everyday 🤩😁

    Hi Matt, Thanks for the channel and all the information you've shared, it's much appreciated. I've been recently been made unemployed, so the tips and things to look for have been great, ta!
    As a man of language....😳 I'd like to point out that a "Valet" is not val-let, but a val-lay.. Also for the fella who knocked on my door to say he needed water for his Sky-meter, it's not Sky-meter, it's a Sim-mi-tar. Love the VLOG!

    I was suprised to see the Club Sport was missing the extended front chin spoiler, the rear spoiler was wrong and it had what looked like an M3 exhaust 🤔
    Love the Convertible I've owned my e46 325ci sport convertible close to 10 years and absolutely love it. Great video 👍

      I was going to say that club sport had a lot missing

      noticed the rear spoiler was wrong. think they'd just put clubsport tread plates on and advertised it as a clubsport.
