Sounds good my man, how's the car? I'm looking to get one for a first car or something, just wondering how long it lasts, how it handles, how fast it is etc. Also, would this car be a good daily driver?
Sam Boofle i have the exact same car, i would recommend to get an facelifted version of the e46 with an m54 engine, and below 200000km's the running cost are quite high with the 328i with m52tu engine.
They are sporty yet comfortable. In the long run you will miss having a LSD diff, but the engine and balance makes up for it. They're fairly neutral and have a great steering feel. I would recommend a 330i E46 from 2002+, but if the money doesn't allow that, a good 328i is bang for buck, cause they're not that much slower and you can easily give it 215-220hp by doing the M54 intake mod

Sam Boofle don't be afraid to pay a few extra K's for a more recent e46 with less km's on the clock, it will be cheaper in the long run
Ah ok thanks for that :) how do they drive, are they sporty or a good driver's car? Can they handle corners well?
