which e46?

[Lauguan]

hi guys, im just sold off my converted evo, so im thinking to get e46 on my next ride, but i have no idea which model i should buy...coz i confuse about it.as my friend told me, 1.8 & 1.9 is underpower, so means at least 2.0.my another friend drive 330ci & e90 said BMW fun is 6 inline(at least 2.2)?so which model is best for me, my budget is below 65k, think convert M3 look in white colourIm tired driving manual, so auto would suite me more.I wonder 2.2 roadtax is how much?.Thanks all sifu here...

325i has adequate power and road tax is not too bad.
U should be able to get a 2001 325i with your budget.

325i best for entry level....

Previous evo owner i'm worry 325 not fulfill your feeling ! M3 may be yes.

yo, i just back from test drive 2002-325i M sport(not sure is real m sport or not) No: WUF 4709, anyone know the owner? heard is malay owner b4. any story about this car?

Power ok, but when i test, have a little bit of sound like "knocking", wonder is steering or suspension.

selling 79k on the road,....consider now...

1. Full tank how much? can go how many km? i need to know this really really well..
2. RON 95 can used? any side effect if using RON 95?
3. normal service will cost how much?
4. anymore i need to take note on this car? need all your advised here.

Guess this is E36 interior woh ?!

From the front bumper, is look like M-sport, how bout the seat ? M-soprt seat more sporty then normal mer..

 

[Bo_Greene]

Haha, E36 interior with E46 exterior. Really one of a kind.

Hi bro, obviously the rear bumper is not M-sport bumper.. Good luck..

 

[Alex5522]

Any how the car looks good to me bro.

 

[Lauguan]

try a 320i 2.0cc, year 2003/07 just now, a bit dissapointed with the power..but is ok for me. so how much is the market price for the car like this?

http://www.mudah.my/BMW+320i+JAPAN+SPEC-10480851.htm

Exterior-im fine with itInterior- above cloth some fall down already, dashboard/armrest quite many scratch...the radio button, i accidently touch only, the button drop down..haha.

but price can nego till RM6xk....

any opinion?

 

[ansonsoo]

Dont go for 320/318 la bro, you will regret the power 1 day ! At least 325 is better engine.

Bro this 323i not bad from the out looks but not sure about the engine and suspension. The price also decent quite lot but only the year made was 1999, if you are no planing to sale it in short terms maybe you can consider this unit. Any how pls.. ensure the engine and gear box are in good condition, just my opinion only and the final decision was your own.
