E46 330i Touring 6spd Manual - do they exist?

[DanielJames]

Morning all.

I've narrowed down a few options and I think the best car for now is going to be an E46 330i Touring.

Now, I can't seem to find many manuals at all. Just finding a sport is hard enough. Are these really rare to find in a manual sport spec or is the market just a bit dry at the moment?

Oh, if you have one, and are thinking of selling, feel free to PM me

Cheers
Dan

Might be out of budget, but...

Just about 2x over budget lol. I'd love an E91 but looking to free up some cash so £5k max really, ideally around 3.

They do exist - I have a facelift 2003/53 330i manual Sport Touring in silbergrau grey (which it took me ages to find when I bought it 3 and a half years ago). 73,000 miles at the moment and I am looking to sell at some point in the next couple of months. However, I need to get vaguely towards find a replacement, an E61 530i or 550i M Sport but they also seem very rare.

However if you want to ask questions or have a look (I am based in SW London), let me know.

In terms of spec: sat nav, Bluetooth, black leather, 6 disc CD changer currently disconnected for iPod jack, CD player behind sat nav screen, xenons, autolights, autowipers, 18" MV2 alloys.

Negatives: small gash in rear bumper (probably someone ramming me while parking) and alloys need a refurb. Oil service due in 1000 miles.

1.5 times budget?

Saw this car on Auto Trader’s Android App. Thought you might be interested.

Got one guys!



97k with full BMW service history. 6spd Manual. H+K, Satnav, Digital TV, heated leather, iPod, Bluetooth kit, not a mark on it and no rust like my old E46!



Absolutely love it.

Fair play, heated leather, xenons and HK.

Enjoy!

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay? Saw this one advertised myself and was interested! (PM me if you would rather not share it in here)
