      I too bought my 320ci Cabriolet 2002 20 yrs ago still looks & drives like it did the day I bought it. There hasn’t been a month go by in it’s life it doesn’t get a compliment/s. It has been very well looked after has 145k on the clock & the mechanic who has worked on it from purchase just the other day told me the car has not had hardly any money spent on it at all apart from wear & tear. Nothing to me compares the feeling of joy I get every time I drive it I love it & doubt I will ever get rid of it 🤔😍

      They also have hidden features, like your fools locks automatically after 15mph , you can open and close all your windows and sunroof remotely using your fob key by pressing and holding the lock or the unlock button, and there're many others cool hidden features

    Great review man! I just picked up a 2001 330ci with the 5-speed and 115k miles. Paid more than you lol. $5700... But it's really clean and so far seems like a great car. Replaced valve cover and purge valve but otherwise nothing crazy wrong with it. I've put about 1000 miles on it. Really like the head unit you have! Will be watching that video.

    I got the 2001 version in 2019 with ~175k miles just to drive back and forth to work. Paid just $2200 in Nevada for it. I also had two 1977 530i's years ago. Fun drivers.

  • @e46cabrioliebe
    @e46cabrioliebe Год назад +8

    It’s crazy how “cheap” these models are in the US. Over here in Germany you’d have to put about 10k€ on the table for a comparable one (even with that high mileage). Especially 330Ci (Coupe and covertable) are very expensive and hard to find in good condition. A 330Ci with 150k km (100k miles) would be around 15k€ in good condition. Keep it up 👍

    • @cs.studios
      @cs.studios  Год назад +1

      During 2020-2022 they were also very expensive $6000-10000 but before that they were cheaper.

      In the UK E46s are usually fully equipped with auto mirrors & the M-Sport Package etc.
      You can pick one up from the region of around £2,499 - £5,000 for a really good one.

      Not sure, I’d assume you need to first see which seats you have because the basic seats I think don’t have the same adjustable headrest
