Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and I've registered because it was recommended to me. I am looking to buy an e46 BMW in the next few weeks. I have about £4k to spend and from looking on Autotrader there are quite a few about for that money.
Ideally I'm after a 330i saloon (but wouldn't say no to the right 325i) and from looking around there are numerous examples of X/Y/51 reg cars available with between 60k and 80k on the clocks. I'm reluctant to buy a car with more than 80k.
I suppose I'm just after some general advice on what sort of things to loook out for when viewing/test driving these particular cars. I have done quite a bit of reading around on the internet but whilst some pages are very useful, many are filled with peoples' horror stories of what has gone wrong (as is true with any car).
I can't think of a better place to find out about any common problems associated with the 330i (and 325i) so any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Gareth
