Update2: I was second in line to look at it, however it was sold to the first person. Me sad... however this does mean that I have monies to put more rally lights on the Miwi :)

UPDATE: Gonna go look at this tomorrow. However, Carfax mentions that the car has had “front damage” in 2017. However, the current owner has owned this for the last 13 years as well. I’m not sure how I feel about the damage...

186k miles on it

I’m considering this...gonna meet the seller tomorrow

If that’s the actual car, I’d say the paint is a good indication of overall condition. Good luck!

Nice price as long as it checks out!

When you said squealy sounds I thought you were talking about a bad power steering pump or something .

Lol I assumed squeaky sounds meant power steering cause mine was low this morning and I had to top it off. Love that car tho, I have a z3 coupe and my best friend has a 330ci. Very reliable fun bmws compared to our older less reliable ones

The E46 is fantastic! Is it a manual transmission? I drove mine until it had 187k miles.

That’s fantastic. The price is probably right. CarMax gave me $3k for mine back in 2014 with nearly  identical mileage

I’m the second in line to have a look at it. If it doesn't require major diff/trans or engine work, I'm gonna grab it!

So the carfax mentions it, but the seller didn’t? Not the best sign.

It’s the cooling and fueling that eat shit on BMWs.

I see some crinkling in the front passenger side corner at the fender flare just behind the side marker. If that’s the damage reported in the carfax, I say go for it.
