Is that what it's worth? I'd pay that for a minter.
What's the verdict?

Nice... BUT... What a waste!! Buy a 330i brand new in 2001 and in 11 years, do some 20k. Crazy:s!!
Geddit bought!

Always have preferred the pre-facelift Sport kit, whether on the then-new Sport model or when specified as M Aero Kit II on an SE spec E46 saloon. Imola, 3.0 petrol, 4 doors, original MVs, low miles and looks mint. The gearbox could be tolerated well enough and is far from a poor match with the largest M54. Good find and well worthy of the thread.

I can't work out why you'd buy it, personally - buy it to use, and you lose a load of money, and yet it's not so low that you'd want to keep it as an investment (Not that it would be)

You know I'm looking for a more frugal smoker, what MPG do these '30's do then?

What's the verdict? Probably about right, but the market will be tiny. This is very not cheap, but just lovely.   http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C326298

Garlick said: You know I'm looking for a more frugal smoker, what MPG do these '30's do then? The auto really doesn't help it there. Work on 18-20 in town, 30-32 cruising and an average in the middle at 24-25ish. Nurse it and you can average 28, but that's not why you'd buy a 3.0 is it really... "More frugal" than what?

Thanks everyone. LS can see mid-20's on a run dropping to late teens as I hoof about town. Won't benefit that much then...

That 330i looks phenomenal and great value if you ask me. Much prefer the original to the facelift. Great pity it's a slusher, though. I'd want spanish in a small saloon.

A dude emailed Friday asking if the cooling system had been done, I replied with it has a FSH but I don't have invoices prior to my ownership so can neither confirm or deny but its never had a problem, haven't heard back. Clearly 2k worth of suspension work isn't enough
