Hey all, I'm going to be buying my first BMW and I am set on the E46 ('02-'04) Facelift M-Sport Sedan.
Any tips on what to look out for? - I've tried doing a thread search but no luck.
It will be tiptronic and most likely the 318i, which I understand is actually a 2 litre engine.
I am after one optioned with the Zenon headlights and and the basic suede interior (I prefer this to the leather anyway). Steering wheel controls aren't critical as I understand they're easy to retrofit. I would like the electric seats but could live without them.
A delear has told me that an 'M-Sport' and an 'Motorsport' are two completely different cars, with the Motorsport being the better of the two and some dealers try to pass off M-Sports as Motorsports - is there any truth to this?
What are the common faults to look out for on this model?
Appreciate any advice you might have
