Which generation 3 Series is your favourite?

I gotta say having an E46 myself every time I drive it I think *I never want to sell this car* it’s just so satisfying to drive

I have a 328ci e46. I told myself i was never seeling it until last week. Im getting an e46 m3.

My E46 is a bulletproof tank in reliability, my advice: Drive it as much as possible because that's when it is at its happiest, E46 doesn't like to sit in the car park

Bought a 325ci last Friday. Wasn’t sure at first, then I took it on a twisty road and the handling is unbeatable. Paid £3k for a low mileage well maintained example, great value for money - highly recommend

If anyone gets a 330ci... KEEP IT. its so underated. I can tell it will be a great classic

The intro made me fall in love with the car 🥹🤌🏻

Yup..... i have a 320i E46 at home. It's an amazing car despite its age and technology in year 2023.

I have a 2003 330i and tried to buy a new one but it felt like I’m driving a computer and felt no connection. I took my old one, had a repainted again and the guy asked me why! After I got it back from him, he had a big smile on his face and said “It drives really nice”. Glad to see the E46 love is building up, it’s a special car and you feel so in control and connected. It’s not about the HP, it’s about the quality of the drive. I do wish I had the manual, maybe a swap one day.

Naturally aspirated,a dying breed.

The experience! 🎉 Yes! Puts a smile on my face every single time. The ultimate driving machine, the beast whose a queen and a little girl princess too ❤

Nice to see proper video about the 328 xx Doesn't get enough love. Outside of the M, most people are all about the 330, or 325. My 328 always needs something doing it, but love it so much regardless.

I have 2004 e46 325i, already own 6-7 years now. When i started got this one, spend some money to make me satisfied to drive. not too much problem after that. Still running until now. It reliable car.

Finally...been waiting for an E46 on your channel !

😂 I love your passion 👍. I know EXACTLY how you feel - for 10 years I owned a 2000 325i E46 - midnight blue with oyster upholstery. It looked absolutely gorgeous and was the most phenomenal driving experience (in performance and comfort) - but it required constant and EXPENSIVE maintenance and repairs. Now retired, I drive a VW Golf - extremely reliable, super economical (5.2 L/100 km), unpretentious (pedestrian - basically a shopping trolley) and at 170,000 km and 8 years old, has not caused me any major issues. BUT - compared with my gorgeous BMW - it is soooo boring. To keep your passion - observe regular maintenance. Happy Beemer motoring 😉

YES! A CONVERSATION! ❤❤❤ A LOVE AFFAIR IMO

a real beauty and best gen 3 seriies IMHO very nice !

The car grabs on to the corners,love my e46

I had one from year 14-20, best car ever and when it does run oh yeah it runs wild.

Love my e46 too. Projector headlights would look sweet on your ride.

as far as the 328 vs 330, you can slap on a 330 intake manifold + camshaft, or even a 330 head, since its all the same bore. The m52Tu burns less oil than the m54 due to the better designed pistons, but you can't go wrong either way.

I have the same bmw, not the same, but close enough e46 fl coupe 2d with 130kw. It's so fun car, i love it. I had this car for 6 year. I don't won't to sell this masterpiece.

I had a 2001 325ci 5 speed and I sold it a year ago. Regret it I definitely am planning on finding another prefacelift e46 coupe. Definitely one of the best handling cars I’ve driven.

I got my 330Ci 6 speed manual for 3500€ on 2019 and I plan to keep it for many years. It's probably one of the bang for your bucks on the market if you enjoy analogue cars and fun drives

I had an E46 facelift car. Amazing road feel. Loved the size and styling. For 12 yrs zero issues, then something expensive failed. My only beef with the car is that I found it woefully underpowered. Don’t remember the exact numbers, but I think it had like 125hp. Adequate (modestly) in 2002, but pretty sad today especially since we’re talking anout a fairly large displacement 6-cylender engine. I would have expected a good bit more.

bmw never make better car than this series i have my second e46 its the car which grows to your heart

I bought a 2005 330ix from an original owner which is in great shape engine wise but cosmetically needs work... first and foremost, the front and rear light assembly need to be modernized. I have found some reasonably priced none OEM full assemblies, but hesitant to buy them due to comments from buyers that they are leaky, flicker, don't work after a year!! Any recommendations on the light assemblies from and rear??

My greetings to you from Iraq the most beautiful Video of testimony in fact it looks like my car but the BMW E46 diesel super turbo

M52tub28 my first e46, I Have had e46 330i, 325ci, and 328i. I sold my 328i, and at the moment only have my 325ci, I completely regret selling my 328i. The amount of torque it had was way better than my my 325i and very comparable to a 330. After 330km on my m52tub28 stock with just headers, it still dynoed at 193hp at the wheels and 210tq… unbelievable..

E46💪

Good 👍🏻..keep it up..I’m fans boy M car..

Man you keep making these amazing videos I will never be able to sell any of my babies haha Absolutely amazing work from you and Sherry! Thank you for having me again on the channel. Always a blast!

Bro, your explanation is good. Next please include where you done it and the cost please. 🙌🏻

I LOVE MINE

I recently bought a nice cheap 323Ci(M52TUB25). The maintenance is quite high compared to a Toyota or a VW(talking about Europe) but it won’t break the bank if there aren’t any catastrophic issues with it. Just take care of it and it will be very reliable

i Love my e46 2005 325ci

when it runs IT RUNS

I bought a 2005 330ci last year for $3500 and put over $4000 into maintenance but it really is worth every penny you spend maintaining these cars, do I wanna sell it ,NOO but I wanna get me a zhp 4 doors now

Can you tell me which wheels are those?

Brother you are so underrated , amazing content every time , love u bro and keep the work ❤

Def need Black front blinkers

I love those headlights where can I get?

Bro, your rims are awesome. Please let me know its specs .

Should i get a manual or automatic?

swift to netural and relaxed the clutch in traffic lights and traffic stop thats gonna be a bit longer

Has anyone actually changed the disa valve?

What are those rims

What year is the car please tell me

"It may Not be working all the time" 😬 -My 3 series fan clutch and thermostat just broke. The saga continues...

Jokes on you. I wanted an E46 long before this video pal so.. TOUCHE~!

Actually; if you dont want to pay for M3 prices; the ZHP 330i is the next best thing.

Is this supercharged?

This is in KL right? Do you mind sharing which workshop services this car or your f30?

how is the 328 the 2nd best option? there are ZHP's and 330's

If you buy one of these, get a cooling system overhaul kit and throw out the plastic expansion tank. Get an aluminum Mishimoto expansion tank instead

I just can’t find a decent front bumper , putting an m3 on a sedan feels weird

i had a 2001 320 , great car but drank a litre of oil a month

Looking for a 325i-328i-330i 👀👀

The one from need for speed most wanted

Kuat racun ni

Is true the motor is not fast?

I have owed many bmw's my dad even worked for bmw the e46 330i is not a raw car and had to many electronics to assist the driver. This review does not make sense.

are you Persian ?

i wish you to meet speech therapist

What are you talking about, I already own one, a convertible 2004 😂😂😂😂

330i is better

Analog, linear, connected, balanced. But smooth gearbox it is not. 😂

I have had my 04 325i sedan for 13 years now and I always told myself I will never sell it as long as it runs. Did a few mods to it and it was a great experience. I enjoyed every km driving this car. Sadly, it has been spending more time in workshop than on a street for the past 2 years, so I've decided to sell it. The issues started to pile up, from noisy dashboard fan, coolant tank, brake hose, gaskets, exhaust, faulty instrument panel, to engine misfires, suspension, bushing and steering rack. Also, rust became a problem and I had a small crash during winter (suprisingly not while drifting on a snow :)) The car has done 246k, 140k by me. I simply could no longer have a daily car that breaks every 2 months. So I bought a well maintained F20 M135i with manual transmission and boy it is SO much better compared to E46 :) Don't hate me, but it simply is. You have to realize that E46 is now 20+ years old car and it shows. The steering is very communicative yes, but not very fast, engine response is a bit lazy (not a problem with 328i though), handbrake is weak, brakes tend to wobble after you've done a few thousand kms on them (had mine replaced 3 times and it always started doing that), steering is very sensitive to any imbalance in wheels and tyres, the car rolls quite a lot, even with M packet anti-roll bars (H&R ARB solves that), M54 engine likes oil and you need to put N98, otherwise it's lazy, and I could probably think of a couple more weak points. What I'm trying to say is that even though I love E46 to death and I still enjoy driving it despite having a much better car now, newer cars are simply better in most areas and it's time to move on. The car is too old, needs a lot of maintenance and it has been surpassed in many ways by newer cars. Personally, if someone wants to buy E46, I would only recommend a well maintained one, M3, 325i or 330i coupe with M packet, and only for weekends, not as a daily car.

The M3, sure, but not the other models. Unless it has already been tuned to atleast 400 hp.

Check my resurrection come to play. E46

The 328i is not the next best thing to an m3 the zhp 330i is. If you can't afford a zhp get a base 330i. The 328i kinda sucks dude

Ride comfort is too harsh on an E46. E39 is a better bet IMO.

Im convert my e46 from auto transmission to 3 pedals 😂

Please can I contact you?
