But Ebay is the safest option. Just use a freight forwarder like Kiwishipping. And pay via paypal for safety. E46's in the US are very cheap unless it is a ZHP. And there are lots of Manuals. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just looked up kiwi shipping and it looks so daunting! How much do you think it’d cost? Their estimate page isn’t working. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted April 17, 2021 You may need to give them a call for a quote. Everything has changed thanks to Covid. Try to buy from the Western states as getting something out via LA will be far cheaper than Baltimore at the moment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackie 510 Report post Posted April 17, 2021 How much are we talking? I'd be surprised if you end up much cheaper than local offerings. You'll still need a new flywheel & clutch @ $1,200 + clutch slave, master, diff, ecu, etc. Just buy a manual car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should be getting a 116i F20 as that would be a logical choice but always wanted a 330ci. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted June 15, 2021 Two very different cars. The 330ci will get u maybe 8-10km/l whereas the 116 will be more like 12-13km/l. Both great cars nevertheless. what u really need is a 130i 😉 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know of an exceptional 330ci the owner would be willing to trade (plus Kidney) for an E30 / E28 🤣 Seriously though, a nice F20 would be a great daily. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep the F20 with the Msport option is a sure winner but that engine is pretty basic. A 130i would be awesome as well. But the shape is not as nice as an E46 coupe.
