Go over onto the BMW forum, and read the titles of the posts over the last couple of pages. There's probably half a dozen threads talking about e46 typical problems / things to look for in the last month. Oh, and get a 330i. If you get a 325i you'll always wonder if you should have got a 330i instead...

These insurance quotes i'm getting are a joke!! I dont have a years no claims yet thats probably why as i only have 8 months but I'm getting quoted 1600 fully comp on a 2.2 hardly any difference in a 2.5 or a 3.0 but i don't wana be paying that much but I'm to impatient to ride it out til my year is up haha!! Don't know what to do!? Anybody know any decent insurers i'm 25 but only had me licence year and a half. By the way i got had off getting my car insured first time around i'm paying 155 a month on a bloody focus 1.8tdci ffs
