ello and welcome

the difference between the 325 and the 330 engines is the 330 has more power and will deliver it smoother than the 325.the mpg wont be much different on the two so i would deffo go for the 330.these engines as with most bmw engines are bullet proof as long as they've been looked after and serviced regularly.i would try to find one with some history with it to be honest rather than go for a cheaper one with no history.(when they go wrong they are expensive).

as for manual v auto i would always go for manual as its a lot less to go wrong (others on here will disagree).i prefer changing gear when i want to and not the car lol.

i think for 3k you will probably get something around 2001/2002 with 120k miles?

they come in "es" the base model."se" the intermediate model and the "mtech" or "sport" model.however i dont think they did a 330 es or se model only a "sport" model.

sport models have better bumpers.harder suspension.they sit lower.have chunkier steering wheels usually leather seats.

*correction.they did make 330's in se spec*

welcome jenny.petrol or diesel?

welcome to bmwoc mate.....i take it you're looking at an e46? look for rust on arches,lift up the boot carpet and check for signs of weldind or cracking,check windows go up and down ok and when driving listen out for knocks and shaking as e46's love bushes on the suspension.....i take it it's a petrol?

great cars and pretty bullet proof though

welcome mate

welcome to bmwoc mate

its quite easy to be fair.you will need to buy your new head unit,a new wiring harness to connect your head unit to your cars original wiring and then a new fascia plate so it all looks nice.

steve is the man to ask for this.i will have a word for you mate

welcome ruben.congratulations on your son and on your new bmw
