Ultra Racing NZ 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2011 HI guys I'm sure this has been asked before BUT I'm looking at becoming a Bimmer owner and these 2 cars are on offer to me at around a $1000 the difference ( obviously the M-Sport is the dearer of the 2) Both done 65k both 2.2 & both seem tidy, is it worth it spending the $1000-$1500 more for the M-Sport? Cheers Brendon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted May 18, 2011 All you get on a motorsport optioned E46 is the bodykit, wheels and probably sports seats. Personally I would spend the extra and get the msport one, they just look better, nicer seats, nicer and usually bigger wheels. Well worth the extra $1000 - $2000 otherwise you will get the other one and only wish you got the better one... Thats just me though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scottr 11 Report post Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) I have one, they look a million times better than the non m-sport ones. There are 3 e46's in the garage downstairs and my m-sport one is the better looking one by far. Also have more resale value when you go to sell it.
