Hi Stevie, I have a E46 318Ci Conertible and despite what the purists say the four potter is OK. Mine is a four and a bit year old 2 litre though and only done 36.000 miles. Still got 146bhp and a nought to sixty of around the ten seconds. Averaged out the fuel consumption seem to be around the 34mpg, but then I dont drive it like i've nicked it. Insurance is at a manageable level too. Go for it mate, the benefits are bigger than the costs. Just make sure the service is all in place and that you feel comfortable with it, take warranty too if its available. You can still buy a warranty if not and you feel a bit nervious. Good luck mate Andy :D B) :D
