I currently have a 911 and have decided to garage it for winter and buy something else as a runabout . I have been looking at some E46 3 series and was just wondering how the 323 and 325 perform, have they got enough power if the need to pull quickly out of a junction ect ect? I would preferably like a 330, but there are a few very nice 325s and 323s with good spec. Is it worth going for the 330 instead, will it be easier to sell on in 6 months? Also is there anything in particular that i should be looking out for when viewing some? Any problems that are common with the E46?
What are the back seats like, can they easily accommodate 2 adults?

Thanks for the help.

Ok thanks for all the help. I've found a 330 sport coupe that I'll go and view next week. Is there anything in particular i should be looking out for? Any common problems with them etc.

Once again thanks for the help. I've been looking at a few and the one I had my eyes on is now gone so I've had to have another look. I've found this one and it looks in good nic, but it seems really overpriced compared to similar cars with similar mileages and ages. What does everyone think?

Ok thanks. I spoke to that dealer and he just wasn't prepared to knock nearly enough off. I've found another one and will probably go view in within the next week. I was thinking about doing an RAC inspection on it and was wondering if it was worth doing? Also what one is the best to go for? Description listed below.
