That’s not an M-Tech bumper. It’s a M3 replica aftermarket bumper. The black grills are not part of a “shadowline” package. Those are aftermarket black grills. The 330 never produced 325hp. The M3 produced 333. The wood is not fake on these. It is real wood trim. Damn, you have to do your research before you do a video on a car. It’s quite obvious you have no clue what you’re talking about.
As a 4 yr owner of my 2001 E46 330ci (ZHP swapped) stage 1 ecu setup, I'm embarrassed he even made this video for this car. Currently my M54b30 has close to 240 hp (ZHP motor has stock 235hp) due to my custom ITB kit from Germany and GruppeM carbon cold air intake and obligatory straight pipe mid cut pipe. he said 325hp.. really lmao im done. nice try kid.
I had a new 2006 e46 330 convertible. It was the very last year of the e46 and the last soft top before the e93 hardtop converible. Kept it for 16 years. I had no intention of getting rid of it until it started leaking. My repair shop never really figured it out, but the back seat and rug got very wet, and a pool of water formed in the trunk after heavy rain. I traded it for a used 2019 f33 430 hardtop convertible. With the new 430 soft tops out, I always seem to be behind the times.
Still is in 2024 , love the car and I am probably going to grab another for this upcoming summer. These cars were built in the best times in my opinion especially by BMW, I’ll add the 850Ci to that as well. Love that beast ! Thanks for the video !
more people doesn't know or forget of Bmw E46 series,...but that serie overtaking much more of big names,in all sides...about frame,engine,design,materials...,driving...and sound,petrol engine of six in line,the best ever,E46 Bmw.
Yeah the shine on the diffuser is really nice. Also yeah I think I mentioned that in the video if I’m not mistaken. Also this vehicle is now for sale actually.
there’s a button to move seats forward when sitting in the back, most people can fit down a better demo. and your horsepower figures are off, along with a lot of other info.
Thats not a ZHP. The RPMs on my 05 ZHP start at 6500. On my 01 330, the RPMs start at 6000. If that car were an 03, it would have a facelift front end. Its just a Frankenstein 330i but its still nice and clean looking.
I have a 2001 330Ci which I lovingly maintain and modify myself. The only car I would trade it for is a GTC4 Lusso, as if that would ever happen. Cheers.
I’ll be checking one today I love this car cause what I’ve found it was my brother car BMW 330 ci 2003 before 5 years before he sold it and bought M3 2005 Hope it’s in good condition and I’ll buy it otherwise if it’s treated badly I’ll leave it 😂 but hope it’ll be ok and be mine cause I know what he did. Back years to this lovely girl 😍😍😍
I own a 325CI, imported from the US. Unfortunately it was paired there with a CHEVROLET automatic transmission (for import duty reasons). That ruins part of the experience. In Germany it had a ZF automatic transmission. But anyway. I enjoy driving it.
Replace the coolant hoses, water pump and expansion tank ASAP if it hasn’t been done yet Especially if you’re getting the coolant light Other than that enjoy it bru
I just bought this car. My first car. I’m completely in love.
Congratulations!! I’m happy that you are enjoying your E46!!
same
Used mine for 2years now.going strong
@@lfrrealtors7623 mine died 😥 gearbox failure. Not worth the price for me to fix. But I have an f82 M4 now 🙏
@@TheRausing1 congrats on your 70k computer on wheels, unless its manual then im helly jelly
The E46 is such a timeless classic. Great video as usual man!
Thank you so much man!! Yes I also agree with you. Still my all time favourite chassis.
Right! Timeless. Forever!

Thank you very much for your feedback. This will definitely help me for my future reviews!! Have a great day!
@@soflojoshautoreview And it didn't come with those wheels either ... Terrible research!
The grills are most likely not aftermarket but painted as I did mine on my M3. Good correction tho

It’s 225-231 BHP not 325 do a research first but that’s a nice car got one of them
This 3 Series is in Great Shape! Was one of the Best 3's put out. Good job Josh! 👍
Yes truly a masterpiece!!

I like the shine on the diffuser. BTW: The E46 ZHP car comes with 235HP standard. But nice reliable engine and solid car.
Yeah the shine on the diffuser is really nice. Also yeah I think I mentioned that in the video if I’m not mistaken. Also this vehicle is now for sale actually.
Is it still available for sale? And how much does it go for?
You said 335 and 325 it’s 225/235
And this still can be daily driver car it’s amazing
Great review on this iconic Bimmer
Thank you so much!!

I have one like this,i love it and every year is more expensive👍👍👍👍
How much do you actually wrench?
damn so beautiful, tears of joy
I’ll be checking one today
I love this car cause what I’ve found it was my brother car BMW 330 ci 2003 before 5 years before he sold it and bought M3 2005
Hope it’s in good condition and I’ll buy it otherwise if it’s treated badly I’ll leave it 😂 but hope it’ll be ok and be mine cause I know what he did. Back years to this lovely girl 😍😍😍
Hope you can get it! E46’s are the absolute best 3er on the road
Selling it?
I had 2of these cars 323i 323ci and now I’m looking at the 330xi or a 330ci
your engine specs are incorrect. only the e46 M3 is in the 300hp range. the 330ci is in the 200's range.
I own a 325CI, imported from the US. Unfortunately it was paired there with a CHEVROLET automatic transmission (for import duty reasons). That ruins part of the experience. In Germany it had a ZF automatic transmission. But anyway. I enjoy driving it.
2003 ??
Beautiful color
Is the engine garbage?
I got this car for 3k 120k miles hope I’m good
As my first car and i’m 19 please any tips are appreciated! Might even sell it for profit
Replace the coolant hoses, water pump and expansion tank ASAP if it hasn’t been done yet Especially if you’re getting the coolant light Other than that enjoy it bru
Got one for 300$ it’s on my channel
I'm supposed to get one for a good price ...they say the only thing wrong whit it is a rough idle..... what yall think
Probably need a tuneup new spark plugs and coil packs with an oil change
I’m 6ft4 and can fit in the back seats
It’s electronic throttle body drive by wire as new models
231 bhp not 335bhp the M3 was only 343bhp
I’d rather have sport suspension with wheel spacers staggered than lowering with coil over or springs. Nice car but the wheels stick in
Last version of 3 series u can feel the road by driving....
I have 2 of these cars. 2001 E46 330ci for sale and 2006 E46 M3 convertible
How much u want for the 330ci
It is 225 HP not 325 and for ZHP it is 235 HP not 335
Lol it’s not an mtech bumper it’s an m3 rep bumper
Bro what the hell. It 225/235 Hp
what are the rims
The go pedal is electronic, not mechanical.
You're about 100hp too high.
bruh the 330 doesn't make 330hp stock it makes 236 or 232hp stock
Nice❤
Uhhhhh dad it’s me,fares
احسنت سياره رائعه سأحاول ان اشتري واحده ولكن بدون كشف 😊
"The rims are 18", I believe "😂. You can read on the tires the size of it. 😂
100hp extra....
I have one for sale
You really dont know anything about these cars
