FS: BMW E46 330ci - Bargain!
Posted: Mon Nov 11, 2013 7:56 pm
OK ladies and gents, after a few years out a coupe, I am formally now seriously looking at getting a Coupe again.
So, up for sale is my BMW 330ci E46.
Year: 2000
Mileage: 81,000
Engine: 3.0 231bhp
MOT: Jan 2014
TAX: End March (i think, may be later)
MV2 18" alloys
Heated Leather Seats
All the usual trimmings and luxury of a 3 series.
Meer Green with Tan / Cream Colour leather
Price: £1650 FIRM.
Only modification to the car is a SS Catback - only quiet, not obtrusive.
If you know your RWD cars, you'll know these are bloomin good. Great 50/50 weight distribution, fantastic handling and just enough poke.
Effortless and comfortable, 0-60 in a mediocre 6.5 seconds - wont set the world on fire but who really needs to gun it anyways.
I have owned the car since last Jan, and for the lucky buyer, pretty much done almost every 'common' problem on the e46 (there's a lot)
Just within the last 6 months:
* Major Service @ 79k
* 2 x uprated Meyle Lower arms and rear bushes
* Final Stage Resistor
* Oil Level Sensor
* Front Drop Links
* New battery (on Sat)
* Rocker Cover Gasket
* Oil filter housing Gasket
* Expansion tank (these go at 8-10 years normally)
* Brake level sensor
Sure there's more bits and bobs that I've forgotten.
Anyhow - I'm looking to sell up, and anyone who wants to get a cheap RWD car, with fantastic poke that isnt 100 years old, or a POS, then look no further! I'm after a quick sale, so hense the low price. Once my minds made up.... its made up
Now the car is 13 years old, and like any car has its blemishes - so i'll try and be as honest as i can with these as its only fair.
Front arches are showing bubbling - not broken paint yet
5" rust bubble on rear quarter - not sure what that is, but not gotten any worse in my ownership.
Will need 1 front tyre for MOT - cant think of anything else it would need.
On occasions the brake light is sticky - needs a new brake light sensor imho - but only 25 pounds from dealer..... but its only done it twice that I've noticed.
Other than that, good to go!
As its not a stupid wannabe 'M' or MSport or whatever, for some reason insurance is Very low - i am 26, and pay 310 fully comp with NCB protected etc. Tax is in the cheaper bracket at around 260 for a year.
Anyhow, will post pics up asap. But please PM me if interested.
Never tracked, previously owned by a private school teacher (looked like someone out of harry potter with a weird school cloak and everything) and had as a second car to a VW Camper van - hense low mileage for the year.
All in all a fantastic little motor, at 80k its still a baby for a BMW, and at a giveaway price, all good! Here's a couple of poor pics
Please PM ME for more info.
Cheers!
