E46 330d SE Touring Upgrade / Sport

[dsapsfo1]

Hi

I'm trying to find me a 330d Sport Touring, with a manual gearbox with a budget of ~10k. As you'll all be aware, they're fairly few and far between and so I'm struggling. Should I also consider trying to find a manual SE and then go about changing suspension etc to match the sport, or try to find a specced up SE - how close would this ever get to a Sport? Is this a cost-effective route to go down?

Thanks in advance
