I too bought my 320ci Cabriolet 2002 20 yrs ago still looks & drives like it did the day I bought it. There hasn’t been a month go by in it’s life it doesn’t get a compliment/s. It has been very well looked after has 145k on the clock & the mechanic who has worked on it from purchase just the other day told me the car has not had hardly any money spent on it at all apart from wear & tear. Nothing to me compares the feeling of joy I get every time I drive it I love it & doubt I will ever get rid of it 🤔😍

It's amazing how well the e46 drives after all these years.

I just bought a 2000 e46 323 6 cyl manual. It’s in incredible condition

i just got an 02 330ci 5 speed and it needed a clutch within 24 hours can't wait to drive it again

Im a big fan of the e46, im really close to get my hands into my first one and this review was so enjoyable, I wanted the 4 door but now I want the convertible

I've had my '05 since 2014 and I didn't know the outside mirrors could be folded up! Thanks!!🙂

They also have hidden features, like your fools locks automatically after 15mph , you can open and close all your windows and sunroof remotely using your fob key by pressing and holding the lock or the unlock button, and there're many others cool hidden features

Great review man! I just picked up a 2001 330ci with the 5-speed and 115k miles. Paid more than you lol. $5700... But it's really clean and so far seems like a great car. Replaced valve cover and purge valve but otherwise nothing crazy wrong with it. I've put about 1000 miles on it. Really like the head unit you have! Will be watching that video.

I recommend the head unit plus backup cam. Really modernizes the car

Just got a 330ci 2005 6 speed manual. Love it!

Love all the mods , great looking car.

I just bought one of these and I want to get all black seat covers and basically give the whole interior an all black look

Amazing video! Very clear and easygoing communication. Great advice and mods. This is so helpful as I'm looking to purchase a similar convertible and am a little unsure about costs. Great job!

clearly explained 👍nice video

I got the 2001 version in 2019 with ~175k miles just to drive back and forth to work. Paid just $2200 in Nevada for it. I also had two 1977 530i's years ago. Fun drivers.

This is clean! Reminds me of my ‘16 f23 M235i. Same size, and styling. I can see it pays homage to the e46 after all these years.

It’s crazy how “cheap” these models are in the US. Over here in Germany you’d have to put about 10k€ on the table for a comparable one (even with that high mileage). Especially 330Ci (Coupe and covertable) are very expensive and hard to find in good condition. A 330Ci with 150k km (100k miles) would be around 15k€ in good condition. Keep it up 👍

In the UK E46s are usually fully equipped with auto mirrors & the M-Sport Package etc. You can pick one up from the region of around £2,499 - £5,000 for a really good one.

Good video and review G I’m from NYC this is my 2nd car and 2nd E46 my first one was 03’ 325xi and now I just got a 02’ 330ci for 5,000 I love the car way better condition then my 325xi haha I’m always looking back at it when I get out 🥰

I love the e46's models I owned a touring, a 330ci 2005 convertible and a 325i 2005 , now I'm looking for a 330i 2001 and a 330ci coupe facelift

I thought the e46 coupe & cabrio remained in production until 2006..

Nice car you got! I paid 9000€ for a nice model with 180k Kilometers in Germany. I love it and will never sell it...
