Thanks, am hoping someone good will get it as its a great car! All the best Dave

I have decided to put my 2002 E46 E46 M54Y 330i up for sale. This car is an NZ NEW model with Full Service history, either by BMW dealer or BM Workshop. Car had the gearbox reconditioned just over 15 months ago, by BM Workshop and runs very well. I got pretty much all the invoices for work carried out and since i have had it, when something needed doing I got it done. Features: 3.0ltr Vanos engine (perhaps the best engine in the 3 series) 5 speed automatic gearbox with tiptronic and sports modes Multifunction steering wheel with cruise control and radio/cd controls Front and side airbags; 6 all up Manufacturers alarm and immobilisor Black leather seats (back seats fold down in 60/40 split) Driver and passenger electric seats, with driver seat memory facility Full electrics Heated adjustable wing mirrors Auto adjust rear view mirror (against bright lights at night) Power steering Tinted windows ABS and Automatic Stability Control Air Con 3 (full) rear seat belts and leather head rests Premium sound system with 6 stack CD player, stereo and mini disc player 5 premium alloy wheels (rims are $800 new each) 225x45xR17 tyres Mats Had 2 new tyres put on around 6 months ago. Car has just had its WOF and as usual there were no probs with anything. Car was serviced 7k ago and doesnt need oil change for 18k (full synthetic only changed every 25k). The car has 216k on the clock so I am only looking for $10,995 or nearest offer. There is a warranty still on the car but it only has around 4k or around 10 months left. Transfer subject to warranty company. The exterior has some scratches and some damage to the front bumper (see pic) but I never saw it as a prob. Paint and body panels, other than above are in very good condition. The interior is the only thing that lets the car down and is in lower than average condition; with the biggest thing being the stitching in the rear middle section having come away and fading on the leather seats. Might not be expensive to tart the interior up but if your finiky about that sort of thing I guess you arent interested in a car thats done these Km's anyway. Personally I bought the car for the fun ride and it has deliviered on that no doubt! Have not yet put onto TradeMe or other sites so thought I would try here first. So, if you are interested for more information or more pics, or a test drive (!) you can ask on here or call me on 0272 496919. Cheers Dave

Thanks for your feedback. I totally agree!

Wow. Makes mine look like its just run in!

Thanks! The car is a dream to drive, love it, will most prob end up regretting getting rid of it once its gone.....

Cheers, I think your car must win the 'most kms done' award. I agree, which is why I am trying to find out what sort of price the car might be worth. Thanks again

Am really pleased to hear, thanks for advising! Yes the car still runs really well, espcially as I think its always had synthetic oil.

Hey guys, I have a 2002 E46 54MY 330i sedan which I am thinking of selling. It is an NZ new car with a full BMW/BMW specalist service history, but, with 215k on the clock. My question is does anyone have an idea of what they think its worth (anyone interested?) and does the 215k figure scare everyone away unless its sold at a gift price? When would something like this car become worth scrapping for its parts? The car itself is in ok condition, with the interior letting it down the most. No real panel damage though the front bumper is broken (though repairable). The car drives very well and even some of the mechanics who have driven it comment on that. It is stock standard and I there has been around $8k spent on it (over 2 years) and that also takes into account what I knew I had to do (to bring it up to spec, service, etc) when I bought the car. The biggest and only thing really to go wrong is the gearbox which was recon'd by BM Workshop. What do you rekon? Your thoughts are appreciated. Regards David

Hi Glenn, thanks for that. One of the reasons I was looking for a second hand one was that I dont have much in the kitty right now. What sort of price are you looking for. Cheers! Dave

Hi there. Looking to replace a faulty exhaust cam shaft speed sensor. I have a 2002 E46 330i M54 and would prefer a later model sensor if possible. Please advise if you think you might be able to help. Many thanks David

Thanks will keep that in mind.

Hi there, Am looking for the hazad and central locking switch (centre console) for a new shape 2002 E46 BMW. Please advise if you have one for sale and how much it would be. Cheers! David

Hi, Many thanks for the reply. Can I ask if it makes any difference if I just use them to replace the fronts? The units I am looking at are second hand so would expect that they will be 'less firm' than when new(?) Thanks again for the help! Dave

Doh! Thanks, a typing error on my part!

I have to replace my front shocks and am aware that there are at least 2 types of shocks, depending on wether the car has standard or sports suspension. Does anyone know if the 330i comes standard with sports? Cheers! Dave
