I had one of the last six speed manual e46 330d's, wonderful car once the swirls, "loo-roll" breather upgrade, clutch delay mod, main and both secondary cats gone and a quality remap. While not the fastest car to ever wear the roundel it sounded glorious went very well indeed. When all the cheap ancillary crap is sorted that M57 (non LCI) is up there with the Merc OM606. Just a shame the cracking rear floor (It wasn't only the M3 suffered this often terminal problem) or I'd still be dailying it today. I have the itch again now and am looking for a decent pre-LCI as I don't rate the N57 at all even though it's slightly higher powered, lighter and more refined it can give the same chain nightmares as it's little N47 sister unit though not as common in fairness.
One of the best diesel engine ever made. And probably one of the best bmw engine. After 300000 km has no wear or tear on the engine. It can last up to 1 milion kilometers.
Hi again, one of those people that you inspired to get a e90 330d, also got a manual. Great car, but has cost me a bit in overdue maintenance and a snapped glow plug. Now all that's sorted just the swirl flaps to delete (getting an error code). Then it'll be DPF/EGR gone + intercooler and then it'll be going to get tuned. Glad to see there will be more 330d content.
Hi Buddy , glad my Honest opinion and reviews on cars give people a Go ahead towards a car or even a Avoid Choice in buying a car whether it be good or bad in my opinion I'm thrilled that the next person A. Takes time out thier day to watch my review. And B. Actually Believe I'm genuine and make a decision to spend thier money on a certain vehicle after watching my content . It's amazing 👏 Hopefully we Could one day Meet at a Meet or something I'd love to see your 330d MANUAL!!! 😂😂😂
@@cslloverended up getting along with it very well tbh, then bought a 335i which has done nothing but bankrupt me. Still have the 330d as haven’t sold it yet not had time with work etc
I no longer have the n57 330d but a close friend of mine has it and it’s at 145,000 miles and it has t had any issues at all with NO history of the timing chain being done 💪
I remember my e46 m57n and my previous m57n2 what a migraine to change the air filter on servicing 😫 Talking of air filters got something coming up for the n57 STAY TUNED 😎
This video has made me want to go diesel not long picked up an e46 330ci m sport clean car low miles the zhp one love it but don’t Like under 13mpg 😂 think it’s got to go
Can you only tell from looking under the hood if it’s M57/N57? I’m looking at the same car (2009 minimum year, manuals) but most don’t show pictures underneath the bonnet 😑 thanks!

Nice to see an air filter where it should be .. easily accessible! In my M57 it’s a pig to get too!
