Rare.. and kinda pricey

It's been a while since I've seen a non M3 E46 for 20k - this one must have been hiding under a rock @ 70kms - F/L E46's with those wheels are the sh*t IMO.

Time to upgrade the 320d is it?

I've driven a manual 330cd, and they go pretty dam good!....& still insanely cheap on fuel... if only NZ RUC's weren't so ridiculous!

first thing you'd do is change that trim thou... that is a particularly bad wood colour..

No doubt one could obtain a build sheet for more info also was this the engine type that had swirl valve problems?

Personally the colour, wheels, trim, 11yr old put me off and the asking price but it is through a dealer.

Remap, Quaife. Winning... and TBH, would be a proper fast car, with some decent suspension would be near M3 performance, possibly faster in some circumstances due to the low down and peak torque... out of unpredictable corners etc.

Was eye balling this when TM window shopping last night. Do want.

it'd be perfect if it was a coupe....

Can be much faster than the M3. There's a video somewhere of a remapped 330d out dragging a CSL.

I wouldn't get too carried away with the specs on CarJam. Half the time they're incorrect, this one for example the cc rating is wrong and it's not 4WD.

One of the better things about this car is that it has the proper 3 litre engine and not the older 2.9

Remapped gently would see around 200kw and 500nm plus.

I'd love it, but just becoming too impractical now for us. I want that 4.6is but he's just not getting back to me. I'd say there's more too that engine knocking than it would appear.

Call it fate and walk away imo.

either that or the o-ring / cracked oil filter cap has fixed the problem... !!
