[B3ALP]

Hi
Only just joined this forum but had this 2 years now and still love it
I am the second owner and I bought it off my mates dad who was 73.
It has just ticked over to 50,000 miles

Nice car. Quite rare to see a pre-facelift E46 saloon with projector headlights, are they aftermarket?

[B3ALP]

No everything on the car is as it left the Sytner Notts showroom.

Looks stunning, and I do love the number plate too.

I really like the colour combo.

So what's the story with the engine in these?

[MrMoonyMan]

Smart colour / car / plate.

I'd be very pleased with that.

[jas xjr]

Very nice

Lovely car, must be great to know it's history from new. That's no mileage at all as well! I've the touring and on 133k, still pulls fantastically but would be great to compare it with something like yours.

Very nice.

So classy, but would prefer an estate version, I think they have aged better. What kind of mpg do you get out of this?

Low 20's
But I prefer it when it's doing about 12
