Need advise on getting an E46

[mxsteven]

Hi guys,

I was looking for an E46 but I found out that it is not that simple because most of my life rolling under Japs ride, I was looking for E46 because it will be my vacation and holiday piece of happy machine when im back in Malaysia thats why I would need to find a reliable ones but also within my budget of RM30k. I found lotsa them in Mudah and also found out most of them is flooded car..... need to take precaution is you are looking those used car dealers near to cheras and balakong area.

Please, any advise or any offer is most welcome.

flooded car usually there is still lotsa sand and mud stuck in most interior edges... easy to spot is spare tyre area see any mud signs at all edge... see inside the car passenger side if they allow u to remove the rubber seal and see.... the sign is a commonsense understandable.

I believe these days there is a lot of flooded car still for sale out there and some is hardly spotted... well it is depends on your luck... they send those car to kampung area and sell also.... so becareful of those unbelievable deals!

Now i need to hunt the car ASAP as when i return to msia, i only had 1 month holiday and i need the car asap lols...

Finally I got the car but not what I hope for! Its a BMW E46 328 but downgraded to 1JZ Twin Turbo engine, the job is done quite well and so far everything is fine, I definately prefer stock but this is exceptional case. The car is very well cared and it is quite beautiful and I had drove it for a week now and quite happy with it.
