Hi guys I am looking to buy my first BMW, and any help would be appreciated. I am currently thinking I will go for the E46 shape as i quite like the look of them. My budget is $10 - $15k. Originally I have been checking out 318i Msports models, but am thinking maybe I should go for a 320I or something with a bit more grunt. How big is the difference between the two? I posted up a thread about an auction I was looking at on trademe (asking what people thought it was worth)... looks like this would have been a more appropriate section to post it. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=43281 Anyway, any help would be awesome, and I would love some input on what people think regarding what size engine to go for. It would be used just for everyday driving. Thanks

Hi guys, I am looking at getting an E46 BMW, really like the shape. Ideally would be after an Estoril Blue one, similar to the one Skoty had listed (sold now) http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=42884 Currently looking at this one in Christchurch (I am based in Tauranga, but am quite sold on the color although would consider other colors): http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=428496675 Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have never owned a Bimmer before. Skoty said I should make sure to ask about the water-pump, and get the pipes checked etc, as cooling can be a problem. What do you guys think this is worth? I would get the wheels changed, probably to something like: http://www.hyper.co.nz/drive/product/detai...sociated=165367 What would be a reasonable price to pay, as is. Or else with the mags included. Any help/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys Recently saw Skoty's post here http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=42884 and fell in love with that car. Unfortunately it's already gone. If anyone knows of a dealer, or someone who has one for sale, please let me know. Cheers

Does anybody know of any other E46 in estoril blue for sale around NZ?
