searching for another bmw.. help e46

[qube 3570]

hi guys, im looking for a new bmw to buy.

ive owned a few before, latest being a 99 328ci e46

im thinkn of getting another e46 maybe 4door this time

whats a 330i motorsport say 2002~ish like?

any common problems?

how many k's until engine dies?

any help would be great, im not too familiar with the facelift model so

Drove a 330i M-Sport today, side by side with a non M-Sport one. The difference is incredible, if it comes to buying a 330i it will definitely be an M.

Beautiful cars.

Hmmm i was not aware of any hp difference between the non m and the m sport ones, As far as i know the m sport has the different wheels, suspension, interior trim (black cube or silver cube), steering wheel and so on and not forgetting bumper etc. Depending on what package was ordered.

[Tristan 338]

Could've been the examples I drove but the steering felt far more positive in the M-Sport.

Theres no engine differences between M Sport and non M Sport.

Don't they have suspention differences?

[greenday-rulz21 6]

Like Jason said, the only mechanical difference afaik is the suspension.

[Tristan 338]

Oh yes, I know there are no engine differences but the suspension and handling is different.

i test drove a wonderful 330i motorsport 2004. gosh, it was amazing..

but a bit out of my price range.

found another one the same but with nearly 200k's going for like $14,000

cant get insurance, mechanical warrantee, or finance, so thats no good..

i think im gna go for a e36 again. maybe a 2500cc one in a coupe.

i miss my old e36 which was only a 320 so mite try a 323/325/328 this time
