Anyone thinking of selling their E46 330i?

Why are there no decent E46 330i for sale?

I've been following the PH Classifieds/AutoT/eBay/Gumtree etc for weeks now and i've yet to find a good one for sale.

I admit I've got quite a specific spec in mind (facelift, saloon, 6 spd, MV2 alloys, under 100k miles with service history and preferably in blue, but that's not a necessity!) and there's nowt out there.

There's a grey one for sale with 83k on the clock, dealer refused to answer any questions on the history/condition which is just grand...

There was an absolute minter for sale in the PH classifieds with 52k miles but it sold before I could get it

So if anyone is thinking about selling theirs, I have the money ready

Thanks to the PHer that emailed me (unsure of your username) potentially offering theirs for sale.

100k was a rule of thumb, not for definite and of course condition is better than miles.

Willing to take a 5 spd over a 6 spd but don't think any 5 speeds came with MV2s?

I understand autos are more common than manuals but I am not ready for one yet.

The hunt continues!

MV2's are the facelift sport wheels, the 6 speed box is facelift gearbox, so the two go together, I would have sold you mine, but its an auto, and I just cant be arsed cleaning it up for a sale.

On the saloons some early 03 cars had the facelift but only got MV1 wheels and the five speed. Theres one on ebay now thats a facelift but MV1 and five spd.

The heater buttons in the centre dash are old style as well. One horizontal button instead of two above each other.

One has come up today for sale on AT so ill take a closer look after work....

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Car looks ace and Imola Red is a stunning colour.

Sadly Auto is not for me. It really needs to be a manual but I appreciate the effort to reply

Cheers.
