Bro, hope this link help clarify on you basic queries on the e46 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bmw_3_series
Lots of info on the whole product line-up and the history behind it.
All cars, not just BMWs has its own headaches or gremlins, but end of day, what matters most is when it makes you smile. As its gonna be a second hand car by the time you get your hands on it, just pray it was well maintained previously.... 325i is a balance of power and economy. Anything less than that, the scale tips more for economy than power. So your choice. A 2.0 engine roadtax is less than RM400. So start from there....

Hi,
Bro some of the questions you are asking, the answers you can find easily by just googling it. We are more then willing to help on the more technical questions but you have to do your own homework first.
That being said, E46 wise try to go for 6 potters at least 2.2 and above. Preferably M series engine, and no its not Msport or M3. Its the engine series, for example my 325i my engine is M54B25.
Have fun in the forum.

I thought he mentioned about the spec...so if spec its more relate to car version such as msport version, SE version and diff version for diff country..but if your saying about the engine model then yes the 6potter engine consists of M52 and M54...M52 is for 323i and 328i for pre-facelift model n M54 engine is for 320i 2.2, 325i and 330i for facelift model...both of the engine is double vanos..the diff is M52 still use cable throttle meanwhile M54 using advance technology that is drive by wire ....

Look for any TT nearby your place, join them. Sure you will understand all.
318Ci do come in M43 engine, N42 engine as well as N46 engine.
Most of the info can be get online easpecially in wiki which one of our bros here shared with you.
Check what year was the car manufactured, get the engine capacity (CC) or is it a 318/320/323/325/328/330/M3---cross check with wikipedia...you will get the answer of engine type, vanos, hp, torque and many more

Hmm lots of wrong information in this thread, if you are not sure what youre talking about just keep it to yourself. And do read, read and read.
When denoting engine please do not miss the TU designation.
N42 and N46 are double vanos with valvetronic
