Another Bmw Question

[GLIDN 0]

Are there any issue's known about on a e46 330i Coupe?

I'm considering one with 125000km's on it.

Just thought i would ask how reliable they are in general,

ie radiators popping or fracturing,

interior bit breaking or failing?

Cheers

I've got e46 328 coupe which is now around 125000km mark. Had the car for about 10 months now, only thing that had to be done recently was replacing the wiring loom in the steering wheel. Apart from that no other issues. If you do regular mainteance should have no problems.

Hi there,

If it is the dark blue coupe in wellington then that looks like a real bargain.

However, as people here will always tell you - regardless of how good it looks, ALWAYS get a pre-check done by a BMW specialist.

If it is the one in wellington then use Jeff Gray BMW (Don't rely on an AA or VTNZ pre purchase check as they are not as familiar with what to look for).

As to what to look out for yourself, I stumbled over this page the other week and it seems to answer all the questions I see which come up from time to time.

I know it is a link to another BMW forum but the administrators might want to think about making it a sticky?

Cheers
