Am a big guy so the E46 doesn't quite do the trick for me as it feels a lil cramped. Totally understand how you feel as i'm in the midst of looking for a house at the moment.1st thing 1st, whichever it is i decide on, the cars got a date with the mech to do a through check and servicing + replacement of essentials such as petrol filter, ATF filter, gaskets if needed, etc... for the first round of repairs am budgeting to spend between 5-10k depending on my luck with the car.Got someone looking for a better interior for me already, so thats in the plans to be replaced. Will do the interior change hopefully by myself with some help on the seat wiring. Plug and play for me still ok.Am looking at most likely hitting about 20k for the fixes earlier and replacing all the small items such as clips, door actuators, power window motors, alternator, aircond compressor, and the plastic covers in the engine bay which may have broken.New interior, sound system, etc.... considered itchy budget and not vital at the moment will be prioritizing which need to be done 1st.</blockquote>
