NZ New 330i M Sport - E46 2003

Recommended Posts

Regretfully, my e46 330i is now for sale.

I have owned it since late January 2021. The vehicle does need work. I do not currently have the time or resources to restore it as I'd intended when I bought it, hence the reason for the sale. Located in Wellington.

Details:

NZ New
M Sport
181,xxx kms (will increase)
4 owners excluding dealers
Black Sapphire Metallic
Automatic

Pros:

New Bridgestone RE003s on the rear at 173,419 km (and alignment)
Cooling system renewal @ 176,xxx km (I can create a full list of components if desired - includes radiator, expansion tank, waterpump, fan, etc)
New PCV valve kit @ 176,xxx km
WOF until August 2022 and Registration til January 2022
New front brake discs and pads @ 181,xxx km
Service just done at 181,790 km using Penrite HPR5

I have receipts for all of my work, and bits and pieces from previous owners.

Cons:

LF & RR wheels bent (although not picked up during WOF)
Has stalled 2 times in my ownership (only), throws code for camshaft position sensor inlet
Needs new power steering pulley
Guibo/prop shaft donut starting to perish
Air con blower motor slow - works perfectly but is a little noisy (unsure of root cause)
Handbrake could be tightened a bit
Main idler and tensioner bearings noisy
Air intake top hose should be replaced
Power steering and brake fluid dark
Front seat belts slow to retract
Needs new wheel bearing, though not urgently (left rear)
Speakers should be replaced
Right front window could do with a new regulator

Cosmetic Issues:

Needs new cup holder
Missing fog light surrounds
Sagging headliner (I would do pillars at the same time)
Faded rear tray carpet
Bit of a gouge in the interior of driver door
Panels and paint are in above average condition considering age and mileage. There is a scratch on the outside and some stone chipping. I imagine a professional cut and polish would have it looking superb.

 

While the cons does read like a long list, most of the issues are relatively simple and inexpensive fixes. All of the known issues have been listed above. You won't find any deceit here. Based on current values, and pros and cons of this example, I am asking for $5,500 firm.

Between 80 and 90% of my mileage has been highway driving. I have run her exclusively on BP 98. Genuine BMW blue coolant used. Comprehensive renewal of the cooling system done. Questions welcome.
