Bought my 325i new in 2001 and have been driving it ever since. I should be a walking, talking compendium of what can go wrong with these cars, but with normal maintenance, mine's been solid and reliable over 75K miles. It is a dry climate car, which has undoubtedly helped. I did recently replace the front struts and control arm bushings, which restored that sharp handling for which these cars are known.
Can’t wait for more content from you this spring/summer peace ✌️
Check rear subframe for cracks where it bolts to the body.
good call now that!
I would add another point: Do your research on the e46 engines before you choose your model. Some are more likely to fail then others. Overall the 6 cycl. engines are rocksolid to some extent.
I bought my 318ci, my second e46, back in spring 2021 with minor rust and some love marks. One year later it drives perfect with the oem m suspension. I would never sell that car. The coupes look sooo good
Good call! Different engines, different failures. Thanks for the reminder

Do you have some problems with the 318i engine so far?
regarding rust.... damned right!
Yeah fk rust!! Hate it! Lol
E46 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪
Main points should have been VANOS/RearSubframe Points/Jackpoints/CCV Lines.
ill make sure i mention that in the next one
I’m looking into a 2005 325i 82k miles for around $8k. The pics look amazing with the classic silver gray and the carfax looks well maintained. Would you recommend it as a first car? I’m not opposed to fixing and learning about the car, but I am worried about the non bmw fans and the maintenance cost that comes with it.
Since it’s under 100k miles I’d definitely recommend it. They are a dream to drive. I’m about to pickup a ZHP e46 as my second bmw. They have issues but it’s just worth it if you’re willing to maintain them. Just be aware around 100k is where you can get some issues like you water pump failing and the vanoss if it hasn’t been replaced d
what’s the wheel setup ?
I do not wanna be mean but most of the points are not valid at all.
Speaking of the rust on panels and such, they are not that hard to fix at all. I consider it a bonus I can haggle more.
Same goes for the leather or the knobs or even the coolant. I can find a replacement in minutes. Pet peeves at best.
I do think the vanos one is on point, same goes with the over all rust under the body. I do suggest to look for a cracked rear frame support. Or for other more major stuff, a bent frame as well.
Engines do play a huge role and a lost of lower powered engines 316 or 318 do have quite a lot of issues from what I saw. And a clean engine bay is not the best sign at all. Many folks like to make the engine bay very clean, this way you wont spot the oil leaks even after a test drive.
these r great points and valid!
what about BMW series 3: 318i with 1995 ccm 2002
What do you suggest you look for when your car has over 233,000 lol?
thanks
No problem
How much would a manual swap cost if a shop did it do you think? I’m wondering if it’s worth it for my car or if I should just sell it and get a manual. My car has 235k but the body is straight and the motor is strong
it cost me around 3k canadian back in 2015

Buy a manual e 46 ? Americans cant drive manual lol !!!
We mostly live on farms, use a tractor daily, and drive pickup trucks. What gives you the idea we can't?
@CavemanVanDweller where? In the mid west?? Not true at all for most Americans, the original comment is spot on
