Couldnt listen to that awful accent a moment longer
Just ran a check on my own car. All good.
Not suprised you got fault codes and binding brakes / gearbox issues because you know what with CORVID and me being disabled my 3.0 'S' type Jaguar doesn't get used much and sits in the street when she should be howling down the A1 and i get those sort of faults she really needs a good home where she gets regular use.
I’m convinced if you two fell into a puddle you’d come out dry with a Salmon in each pocket !! What a find !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Best of luck with the sale !
Haha I was thinking the same 🤣
Nice deal and car clean
My thoughts exactly! 👍
Looks really clean! Nice colour aswell 🙌
Bloody hell even Mat watches salvage rebuilds.. Did you buy that m3 ?
All the coolest E46’s are Estoril. Fact
Your on next Mat after Rob and Chris 😜
@@jackmillin what a line up 😅
Literally just been watching the rs5 vid Mat 😂👍🏼
Rob & Chris, The TV companies are missing a trick here, you 2 genuine blokes would have a massive audience if they took you on. Great viewing everytime. The BMW looks fantastic.
@viktor cork exactly, I gave up watching tv years ago, at least with RUclips, you watch what ur actually interested in
Not a big fan of BMW's, but this one looked really nice. Your honestly to the previous owner with regards to the battery is refreshing. The way you slowly go thru the in and outs is so interesting. An enjoyable Monday videos, thanks guys.
Love you guys honest and genuine about everything you do, wish everyone was like that would make life so much easier. Keep doing what you do guys 👍👍👍
Hi Guys. Lovely car. I have been a mechanic for many years and offer my thoughts regarding the vibration. I have a 320i of similar vintage (same brake set up). It developed a fault last year when you would be driving along and all of a sudden the car would start vibrating. It sounded like gearbox/propshaft/rear axle was trying to shake itself to bits. If i slowed down the vibration went away, but would return later. Like you i looked at the usual suspects and found nothing wrong. It turned out that the problem was the handbrake inside the rear disc/drum assembly. The handbrake shoes at the o/s had become detached from the pins holding the shoes to the back plate. (The pins had pulled through the backplate). I managed to refix them with a repair to the backplate, and the problem has never re-occurred. During lockdown the car had not done many miles and the handbrake had stuck on a few times, but always free'd off as soon as the car moved. Maybe this could be your problem. Love the channel. Keep up the good work guys.
That BMW handbrake is simply dreadful, MOT failure rate is really high.
When I bought my E46 the handbrake was dreadful, when I stripped it down the drums were full of rust, the previous owner had never had them adjusted properly and was just doing it at the cable (doesn’t work!).
Lovely motor, brings back memories! Straight six 3.0 M54 engine, one of my favourite BMW engines! Got rid of mine at around 220k miles and the engine was still running strong, only maintenance I done was regular oil changes, renewed the cooling system and DISA valve and it gave me years of joy!
Love the exhaust stock exhaust note on the 330i's especially at start-up.
Hi Guys. My first comment since coming across your channel a few months ago. I just wanted to say how much I enjoy all your work. You come across so well. Never talking down like I have seen on other channels and so obviously being yourselves. Just watched the BMW 330Ci vid what a cracking car.
Nice BMW for an enthusiastic BMW owner .Professional checks from Rob and Chirs once again.
Great video again and what must be one of the best looking BMWs ever. The E46 just seems to get better looking the older it gets.
Hi Rob and Chris, what a find guy's, nice to see your ensuring all is well before moving it on. Great video. Cheers, Alex.
What a great buy guys! Your subscribers are giving you some great opportunities! I’m sure you could make more on this car,, it’s rare, in excellent condition and with a full BMWSH!!! You deserve it! Keep up the great work. You guys are one of the best channels out there!!
That is so clean, I don’t think you’ve ever done a car I wanted more than this, will be glued to Instagram waiting for you to put the listing up.
Good luck Dan, hope you get it "thumbs up" Simular thing happened to me on another channel i watch, the guy bought an old Lexus LS430, went through it with a fine tooth comb as they say, actually said he was going to keep it in his own private collection but I made him an offer he couldnt refuse and bought it off him, best car i have ever owned, so good luck and I hope you purchase it when Rob advetises it.
These clubsports are special and this one looking in such great condition. Glad you lads got a hold of it
What a lovely car! I love the variety on this channel. Also I like how you made sure the owner knew it could be an easy fix, shows what we already knew about you and your character.
This is my favourite channel on you tube!
I bloody love this channel. I had one of these back in the day as a pre cursor to an M3. I adored it and it wanted for nothing. Takes me right back to 2004.
Loving the range of cars recently! Great content as always Rob!
Fabulous find, especially in that condition.
Now we're talking. We both own a BMW now. I think whoever buys it would be able to keep it for a couple of years and see its value go up and up; provided it's kept in proper nick. I had an E39 528i M Sport a few years ago with the same gearbox issue. Sure enough, ditched the old battery, in with the new and good as gold. Loved this video. Cheers.
Absolutely stunning car. Can't wait to see more of it.
Oh my days what a gorgeous example of how a car should be looked after. She is stunning.
I used to have a manual version of this car. It was a peach. Terrific find guys.
Just a really nice & honest motor in immaculate condition - well done 👍it sells itself !!
Love how u respect peoples wishes and not disclose the price top genuine blokes
Must be the best find ever on salvage rebuilds.
it will sell like a hot cake.
Lovely car, awesome condition and a great buy. I would keep up the full BMW history on this one and get the oil/filter change done at a main dealer. It will absolutely add to the value, desirability, and provenance and should only cost a couple of hundred quid.
It was said in the video it was serviced at BMW main dealer only a thousand miles ago.
Love the E46, Estoril Blue and your attitude. Great stuff!
Love the genuineness of you guys, keep it up 👍
Another cracking video as always cheers
E46s if sat usually have a sticking caliper common prob. Gives the vibration once it heats up but can disappear as it frees. Ull feel the offending wheel hot
Agree A Cooper - I've had this problem on both BMW and Audi with same ATE front calipers. Sticking when hot with quite bad vibration. Best solution I found was to either replace or rebuild caliper with a refurb kit.
@@derekgb3780 +1, caliper rebuild kit will sort it - had just the same on an e46 M3, very common. Good looking car!
What a beautiful car and such low miles! You really do find some complete gems. Somebody's going to be very happy with their new car in a few weeks time when you sell it!
Make sure you get a good return on this one, guys as you have gone rather short on some others recently. It is your good fortune and knowledge that this car did not have a major fault. Surely this car will not be short of potential buyers. Excellent video, thanks.
That is one very nice car and you've been lucky with it hope everything pans out ok well done lads.
Hi Rob & Chris - Had one of these for a short while. Long story short had some big gearbox problems. In the end, BMW let me know there was a recall on some of these e46 models on the gearbox. I've been out of the car game for a bit but may be worth checking on that one.
My m3 was a airbag recall
Just bought a Clubsport, restored from the ground up, my first BMW...Watching videos now.... having so much fun.
Really lovely car guys. I think you’ve landed on your feet with this one.
Great video as always.
Proud E46 330Ci owner here. Great video, lovely car. My battery has caused me plenty of issues too. 😂✌🏼
Proud E46 M3 owner in estoril blue. Hence my logo. Lol
Still a head turner for a 18 year old car.
Always washing it
Do the indicators work Rob. Never seen them blink on a BMW.🤪🤣🤣🤣
As I’ve only been watching your channel for about a year I thought id catch up on some of your older videos and they don’t disappoint, this is a great find WoW a beautiful BMW fantastic 👍🏼
What an amazing looking motor. Looks very clean and tidy, a good little runner. I’d want to keep that. Great content as always. Stay safe Gents, Cheers 👍🏽🙂
What a lovely car, it’s going to be a hardship running around in that for a week!
Stunning Rob, she is a beaut.
I’m really enjoying watching all your videos from here in Ireland keep up the good work guys 👍👍
I’ve had one of these in for an intermittent rattle, had been to a couple of different shops without being able to sort it, (assuming it’s the same model that is) the wings are plastic and the top of the wing behind the mirror has a little metal bracket that holds it to the a post, and if I remember correctly it’s attached to the wing with pop rivets, the plastic wears a little bit through time and randomly rattles, worth checking
Wow, nice - I'd love to find something like this! I've been wanting something a bit more fruity to replace my aging daily but there's just nothing around that isn't silly money. Just nothing around :/
who wouldn't buy a car of these two top guys
@salvage rebuilds uk I love your guys content, You really are conscientious about sorting your sale cars out and not ripping anyone off with a dog of a motor! Kudo's to you and Chris mate, I wish i had been on the ball and spotted this 330 Club sport, I would have bitten your hand off! I hope the sale went well and someone now has a gem, Low mileage 330 Club sport!
I had the same car with a manual box. I had a new near-side calliper. It just wouldn’t let go - seized. I loved that car. If you take the vacuum tube off the rear silencer the butterfly valve stays open and sounds ace! 👍🏼
Rob's gonna "force" himself to run around in the beemer for 300/400 miles 😄
Love these, had one as a demo for a little while when I worked for bmw. Love them 👍🏼
Now I am in love with that, I could see myself in it.
I could tell it had a CD multi changer but I would have to change the head unit to a CD one as the tape deck ages the car badly.
Reseal the underside to stop any rust coming in and that's about it, a good blast on the motorway and some super unleaded would have it 100%.
Honestly - put that away as prices are rocketing. I’d say it’s currently worth 8k easily and in a few years maybe 10-15k.
Nah not an auto. Only the manuals seem to be sought after. Nice car though.
@@sm5829 Bro you trippin. Try finding one in this condition and low mileage, I await your response.
Interesting... I drive a 58 plate 320d LCI with 47k. Might keep it!
@@DaveInBridport The price of a good e46 M3 has absolutely rocketed. So this has a knock on effect for the next model down, 330ci M sport & clubsport etc. Don’t believe me, try buying a e46 M3 in the same condition as the clubsport above and you’d be looking at £20K +.
@@XXXLAVERICKXXX very true
Anyone remember Edd China fixing an Audi gearbox for 50p???
Was it the TT with no 1st gear? 🤔
IIRC... 👍
@@sammytheseal2307 Think it had no 1st or 2nd ?
@@G4RY1159 Might have been, it was a long time ago! He did a very nifty repair - I remember that much!
@@sammytheseal2307 He did yes
50p plus several hours labour and gearbox oil.
Great find! A nice, interesting M3 alternative. The E46 coupe is a design classic.
A nice clean vehicle, no question. Under bonnet view was a picture, it looked like a new ex showroom example. The niggly things were all the sorts of things that a laid up car usually produces, but at least you knew how to manage and massage them out. So, it did need a bit of work and your consciences are clear about earning a margin, call it a reward for efforts you made.
It is certainly a handsome example and doing nicely for its age. You surely have the luck of the gods on your side.
flat spots on the tyres through standing that's why the balance was all over the place;using it will solve the problem
i'm amazed there's any 46 330is left without rear arch rot (like mine has)
Your videos are awesome, I love watching you guys work on cars and how they come out in top nick after.
I had a couple of these a few years back (although not a Clubsport) - they're very competent cars, and quite practical too (split-folding rear seats, which aren't standard in the saloon). One was a manual, the other an automatic. In all honesty, I think the automatic suits the character of the car better - it's more an effortless cruiser, than it is a B-road slayer. Such a good looking thing compared to the E90 (and I've got one!). Well done for finding one that hasn't got rusty body panels.
60k, perfect time to change a gearbox oil
Sixth thought i was second damn !! YESS LADS!!! Great New purchase, seems like just had a flat battery haha!!

@@MattyEngland Damn that hit hard hahaha
@@redlinequickshift lol, sorry I break it a bit more gently 😂
@@MattyEngland I appreciate that man haha!
Cracking video Rob! Great purchase.
I have owned numerous BMW's, these ZF5HP's that this era of BMW E38/E39/E46 are absolutely indestructible, they will run forever and ever, however they are quite sensitive to the quality of the gearbox oil. Just to let you know as well with regards to the occasional knocking as you drive along, all E46's in the world do it in their life, it is the rubber prop shaft 'doughnut' coupling, they don't always wear terribly visibly, it is right through where they mount, so you need to really inspect them to notice the wear in them.
Not usually a BMW guy, but I can appreciate them for what they are... and looks like you got a stunner in the car!
At least the indicator stalk didn't mind (or notice) a lack of use for 2 years 😉😂
LOL £1600?? I’ve just seen this listed on eBay for £10k!
Either the previous owner got totally ripped off, or you’ll have it in your heart to pass him some money as a good well gesture....
Why he was honest with the guy saying it could something or nothing the seller wasn’t forced to sell the car
Lovely find Rob and another great vid. Really pleased you got a lovely little easy flip, what a gem and hopefully get a nice drink out of it. Keep going lads 👍
Unbelievable boys always amazes me some of the offers yous get.soon as I heard you say it's been sitting and was good b4 with no box issues I knew it'll be a minor issue and very very slim chance it being a bad box just a service at most but you got it even better than that.its a awesome car and a lovely colour.
Another good watch and thanks and all the best Boyz. 👍👍
You should keep this as your daily driver. Why sell it? You'll never get another one like it for cheap. Please don't sell it and enjoy it!!!
Sounds like a quick flip, perhaps give him half the profit 😉.
He got the price he wanted, and it could have been something that costs hundreds (if not thousands) to fix. At the most I'd buy him a pint, but nothing more.
Why? Would you? Deal done.
I think it’s a bit sad that now your channel has grown so fast and you’re showing some of the flips you’ve said you’ve always done, you are now being accused of ripping people off because you take a chance and get a bit lucky sometimes. The seller was perfectly free to take the car to a dealer and pay for diagnostic tests and any repairs that may have been needed but chose not to. It’s a free world. Don’t get wound up by the haters and please keep showing the variety of what you get up to. With 200k subscribers, you’re bound to upset someone. The vast majority of us enjoy watching.
Thats the first working flashlight I have ever seen inside the glovebox. I have owned 6 Bmw's and I work on them a lot at my shop. The flashlight's never work. That is a beautiful car. I have a 2001 325ci 5psd that I daily. It has 280k mi on it now and still runs like a champ.
What a great find,lovely ,genuine car 👍
Guy who contacted you must be absolutely crying. Get those Avon’s taken off though, nowhere near good enough for a sports performance car
Listen to that ?? a phrase that will disappear over the next decade.
What a beautiful car, I a gorgeous colour.
What a great video guys, you will enjoy running around in that Rob I am sure.
Stunning car, that would tempt me out my mk1 MR2 . Great video as ever. Thanks both👍

Great buy. Enjoy the drive.😀
What a brilliant car and video! Really enjoyed it, very nice looking and lovely conditions E46 and rare, perfect for an enthusiast or some wanting a modern classic!
Another interesting video Rob & Chris. Many thanks 🙏
This is one gorgeous car, you did well there guys!!❤️.
Rob, you’re like a kid in a sweet shop with some of these beauties! Lovely, lovely car 😎
Great content boys. That car is fantastic condition for it's age thanks you 2 you never let us down.
Good looking car. No real faults to speak of. Great buy.
That’s a nice car and lovely miles too and brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Bought a 6 year old 330 clubsport in 2008. 5 speed manual. Put over 50000 miles in 4 years including many track days. Unbelievably great all round car never even had so much as an airbag light. Club sports are so much more than the standard 330ci’s. replaced mine with an e39 m5. To be young again
What a lovely car! You fell on your feet with this one. Just mind your hand doesn't get bitten when you come to sell it. These last two vids have been fascinating and it's nice to see you getting some good offers of decent cars to flip without getting too dirty.
Great video Rob!
Love the E46 330 Ci and especially that bright blue paintwork ;D
What a lovely motor, proper car, the colour is bang on too, hope u sort the little issues and make a butty on it, good video lads keep em coming👍👍
Seriously, the nicest looking Beemers available. My best mate has one of these _(I've not had chance to drive it yet)_ Great result..!!
Another great video what a beautiful bmw my favourite colour in this spec of car carry on the great work rob and Chris
Another cracking video guys, keep em coming 👍
Would look better in black,but it is a lovely motor.
What a touch Rob N Chris !
2 of those a week would be well handy .
Excellent result. Really happy for you both, too job.
What a gem of a car. When you conduct your business like you do, you'll get the right people offering you these great cars. Enjoy driving it for a bit.
Just what you guys needed.l Cheers, Bob
Another great video guys & what a brilliant car plus Ive learnt a fair bit thanks !!
Wow what a nice find there guys looks lovely.
Lovely e46, not many club sports left in that condition with genuine low miles and a full bmw SH too. 👌😎 excellent work as always Chris & Rob 👏
