Wanted: BMW E46 330i Sport Touring Manual

Awesome!
I wouldn't imagine many one owner cars with that kind of mileage come up very often.
A bit different from an evo but I wouldn't reach for the pipe & skippers just yet, having said that you might find this link useful...

Thanks for that DJFish, I spotted it Sunday (been checking daily!) and went to see it today once it had passed the MOT. And... it's now mine, worth the 7 hour round trip! Great condition especially considering the age, mileage seems genuine, happy with the price. So thanks to all for the help with this, much appreciated. Bit of a different drive to my Evo but I'll get used to it! So if anyone's interested in a 2004 Mitsubishi Evo VIII MR FQ-340 in gunmetal grey with 80k miles in great condition, let me know, cheers.

Excellent news!

I read the ad as one owner too - it's one previous owner, but still, two owners and such a low mileage in 13 years isn't bad!
Thanks, you read my mind with the dashboard trim! I'm not a fan of the fake wood and it'll be the first thing to go, so cheers for the links, I fancy the carbon effect (reminds me of the Evo!) The wooden gearknob is cracked anyway so I'll replace that with a shiny new one too.
It is a very different drive but there's plenty of torque in the 3 litre, can't complain.

Literally my dream car right there.

Yeah they're a pretty faultless drive if you're into performance cars. I never felt it needed more power and the handling's superb too. Fairly practical and useable as a daily drive as long as you're not doing too many miles. And actually quite tastefully styled. Finances dictated my change, but I do like trying different cars anyway. Hadn't had a six cylinder or rear wheel drive before and looking to make use of the space in the Touring. Anyway, if you're interested in the Evo, let me know...

Im very interested in an Evo. Unfortunately I doubt ill be able to afford one for a long while yet.

Well keep saving, they are worth it! Here it is anyway...

That said, I am loving the Touring, it's such a well built car. Feels solid even 13 years on and I'm getting used to the low down grunt of the 3 litre.
