    Proud owner of a Sienna red '00' manual 330i saloon, non sunroof full black interior with grey headlining and piano black gloss trim. Yes an M54B30 saloon as a prefacelift, ultra ultra rare to find in this configuration, took me 4 years to find this car and spec now its getting fully built, forged and Supercharged! While keeping it aesthetically as oem as possible.

    Found a black 51 plate 330i sport touring with manual box a decade ago and it's been with me ever since as it's a fantastic do everything car. They were incredibly hard to find then too! The teenage son in the house wants to learn to drive though, so time to say goodbye :(

    Had a AC schnitzer c30 one of these after trading my e36 m3 against it when my kid was born. 330i wit 3:09 3:13 h super charger added by bmw. Split rims. Body kit and the 5 speed gear box to handle the extra torque. Real quick car and bit a sleeper as no one knew what it was. Loved it but parts were so rare it was expensive to maintain. Love a bmw touring.

    Your spot on Bro the right spec E46 Wagon ,Coupe or Saloon are super hot great value well built cars. I've just bought a late 04 Compact Sport 325ti 6 Speed with a Manual Purple Tag Rack as standard in Silver Grey with Black leather what a car and all for 3.5k can't stay that price for long Baby M3 according to Marc Gene .The MB lump is a sweetie revs to nearly 7 there is absolutely nothing not to like about the E46 range if like you said buy the right spec car now you can't go wrong with your $$$££££ in one.

      If you want a 330ti just change the intake manifold and cam shafts of a M54B30 and it's done, also the 330i brakes..

    Here I'll give you a free episode on another car that is gold super rare and iconic that no one talks about on the internet The Subaru Impreza was nothing compared to the Subaru legacy from 1991 to 1994 it's what started Subarus fame and is an extremely versatile modern and very quick car that almost no one ever talks about but literally started Subaru on its up-and-coming success

    I think another car going through a similar process is the MB/MC generation civics. We've had a B18 powered estate version as our family car for the last 11 years, it's been absolutely fantastic in that time and only let us down once when the distributor gave up, but it's quick, looks great being a VTi, and it's just a bit different. Problem is now parts are getting so hard to find many of them have just been thrown in the bin

    Perhaps the closest is the E46 Alpina B3 3.3 or 3.4 touring albeit it’s an auto
    I’m lucky enough to say I have an Alpina b3 touring and a 330i touring 6 speed 😎

    Yep, that "carbon" trim is standard. I had an E46 M330i M Sport saloon (auto)......silver with black leather! One of the best cars I've ever owned! It had one odd failing.......I did a lot of motorway miles and if it was torrential rain, the front discs would get soaked and the first time you pressed the pedal you got nothing! Not sure if it was caused my the vents in the M Sport from bumper. Quite off putting on a busy, dark, wet M4 motorway!! I sold it because the front wings started to rust badly, and replacement wings and a respray were going to cost more than the car was worth. I replaced it with an E60 535D......which was an unreliable dog :(

    It’s better than an M3 imo better fuel economy and much more reliable ( apart from oil nut ) and plenty enough power for UK roads!

    Love mine, but why the 316i badge!? Made me laugh anyway. Either this isn’t stock or the owner wants it to look like a sleeper. 😂

    Another stupid question from Jamie 🥱 yes its an e46. It has an engine which is almost as large as the m3, the biggest yoi could get as an estate. Of course it's the closest. At least it makes a nice change to not hear Jamie going on like a giggling teenager, interrupting everyone and finishing off their sentences
