2003 Facelift 330Ci - Just made an offer - Opinions?
Discussion
Hi Guys,
Looking to purchase a 330Ci Convertible very soon. Made an offer on the car. No Satnav or bluetooth but I think the price reflects that..
Anything I need to watch out for on these apart from rust? The car has had a new roof, new tyres all round etc. Seems to be in decent nick
I had the same engine in the 3.0i Z4 my wife owned. Cracking Engine and I really miss the inline Six...

Yes, google E46 boot floor cracking and make sure you get it checked out to confirm this car doesn't suffer from it.
bks.I just thought that was the E46 M3. How would i check this apart from using a ramp? Lift the rear carpets?

The front bushes can wear but not an expensive fix, hand brake & brake lines can corrode and need replacing again not super expensive.
Check the wear on the inside of the rears, they can wear out pretty quick if tracking not looked after, it be worth getting a quick 4 wheel align for piece of mind.
Check the BMw forums for more.
Otherwise a brilliant car, the wife has one and I pinch the keys whenever possible.
Good luck

I had a 2001 330ci Convertible
The fuel pump went.
The amp module suffered from dry joints and broke (common problem on the BM something)
That was about it I think.
I replaced the front bushes myself - cost £64 for the parts.
Check for rusty front arches.
Superb car. Stunning in everyway. One of my favourite.

Personally I'd go for an SE rather than an M-Sport. I hated the suspension on the E46 M-Sports that I've driven.
I had a Z4 lowered on Eibachs and it was very very hard. I have a 9-3 Sportwagon on the drive for the long comfy journeys...Hoping to keep this as a weekend car
