@ Heck yeah. I’ve been looking for one for a while now. Only downside I have of the one i’m looking at is it’s a convertible. It so hard to find a manual tho in Arkansas. Well all of America lol.
My 320ci vert has 264,679 miles on it currently I love the car to bits it’s super clean underneath and 100% leak free runs and drives amazingly. Just need to get the body work tidied up cosmetically but thankfully 0 rust anywhere. I bought it a couple years back on 250k for £750 with 12 months mot 👍
@@dexietyy7922 banging, that’s a great car for £750 by the sounds of things. I know 175k isn’t hugely high for these engines but it’s generally high mileage for buying a car 😂 I glad to hear yours is running well
@ yes very the most expensive thing I’ve had go wrong was the clutch disc sheared where the splines are but I think that was due to my driving style 🤣 ditched the dual mass and stuck a single mass flywheel kit on it. M54s are bulletproof with yours being the 3.0 I would get the oil pump nut secured properly unless it’s already been done they like to come loose and kill the engine!
The seats are nice, to make it match, i would paint/retrim the door cards, and do something interesting for the decorative trims. And one thing that it really needs - lsd, not just for skids, but also driveability
I completely agree about the LSD and I plan to do a video on an LSD/LSD conversion kit. As for the interior, I have some ideas but I can’t see me keeping this colour
@ lsd conversion kits are not really that good, as i have heard, but for the interior, try cleaning it, maybe its a different colour overall, but you can always paint it, make sure to do the right steps, with a finish layer, so it doesn’t rub off
@@7privet_I have seen some that are good and if they fail it’s normally on the installation, I may try it out and if I blow the did then it’s an excuse to get a new one 😂 as for the interior I am filming that video now so stick around to see the result
My question is are the seats heated ? And if the answer is yes then please don’t butcher them dying them And all that nonsense sell them to me please as my car hasn’t got heated seats And willing to collect them Rather then dye them black Thought i would ask at least.
@TomDyeYT yeah engine and gearbox are all original and still run sweet. It has the M57 engine which are bulletproof. Hopfully will hit 341k on the weekend 👍🤣
The only downside of the e46 is 330i now is the fact the better 330i e90 with the better N52 are also £2000 cars now , way better car and the engine is night and day better then the m54. But agree sub M cars are better spend for your money. Even a £9k e46 m3 will need bare minimum of £5k spent on it just to make half good standard, 330 is much cheaper to run for 80% of the m experience
@@antj29 for me, the E46 is just a better looking and more iconic car unless you talk about the E92 but then that’s only the M3 for me and that is not comparable from the V8 to the straight 6 BMW are well known for. There are issues picking up an E90 330i for so cheap but yeah you can do it and might get lucky but I guess that’s the same issue with the E46 330ci. I completely agree with what you’ve said about the M3 price wise and comparison, they are definitely 80% of the car and maybe more so once you’ve modified bits like the suspension, exhaust and other driving components
@@anishmahadeo5073 I can sell them as I don’t have plans for them, message me on Instagram instagram.com/tom_dye_/profilecard/?igsh=MXUzNWR3bWFmNnl5eA==
Glad i watched this. Might be buying a 2004 330ci with the manual tomorrow
They are amazing cars and the facelift has a few decent upgrades like the lights to set it off nicely

@ to be fair finding a manual coupe is hard to find in the UK too, especially one with good mileage and in good condition. Just got to keep looking

I have an 07 330d thats now on 340,800 miles. Now thats what you call high mileage 😂
@@HighMiler330d 😂😂 that’s definitely high mileage, I bet she still runs like the day she rolled out the factory too, just amazing cars
