Which a better buy E46 or E90?

[logamj]

Hi all members,Im new in the forum and looking forward to buy my first BMW. Need the experts advice on whether i should go for e46 model or the latest e90. i have e90 320iSE demo car going for 208K. Im not a performance Enthusiastic but enjoy more on the gadgets of the car since i guess 320 has enough power also right? How about the resale value later if i buy e46/e90? Thx.

Get the E90, the E46 is soooo early 2000's

Welcome to the club! Be sure to check the active E90 discussion threads to learn more about the E90.

Some says that the e90 is becoming to look like Japanese design already. I guess its the other way round. The Japs are designing their cars with continental look. Look at the latest camry.

Yeah.. Mouse is right.. Why go for something older if you could choose? (Other than my wife, I'll never give it a second thought ) Of course the resale value of the e90 would be better come a few years when the e46 production line finally stops.

Anyway, all the best in your quest.. and welcome aboard

you've answered your own question...go for e90 320 if your budget permits.

With E93 production now online, the E46 is officially dead. M3 production stopped a few months ago...

So soon?!

E46 dates back to 1998/1999, that's a loong time ago lol

As mentioned, the last of the E46s were the convertible models coming out of Regensburg.

Ehh.. stop bursting my bubble lar you! Hehehe..

Good thing in Malaysia, cars don't go out of fashion too fast.. like Singapore and probably where you're at..

For me, so long as the chics are still ogling at the e46s.. its still a car worth keeping
