Hi all Hopefully, I'm just weeks away from the end of over a year of Skoda Fabia automatic hell, and I'm looking at getting an E46 330Ci Sport/M-Sport. My top budget will be around 4K. I've spent months poring over Autotrader, eBay and Pistonheads searching for the right car... Some have come and gone as I haven't had the readies - but looks like I'll be shifting the comedy Skoda soon and joining the BMWOC for real! I was going to get an E39 M5, and had done masses of research on those, but insane fuel costs and ropey job situation (I'm self-employed) make me think this is a bit more 'sensible' (really though?!?!). Anyone with an appropriate car for sale/Px, anyone with 330Ci Sport buying tips/hints, ownership tips, or general welcome/comments very welcome! BTW, I'm looking to do a combination of ECU upgrade, sports exhaust or straight pipes conversion, sports cat and performance air filter on the basis that I don't give a sh*t about resale values, but I do like torque, power, and (to a lesser extent) noise. Any comments on fuel economy following this lot? Thanks everybody Ian
