The VANOS system probably needs an overhaul. The VANOS piston seals usually fail at around 40k km. Once those have been changed the car feels like it’s an entirely different one. More power, better fuel economy etc.

E39 LCI touring with the same engine and gearbox was my second car. Even though it was the cheapest LCI E39 listed at that moment and its condition was rather trashy it was still a great experience to drive it, this inline 6 sounds great, handling and comfort were also superb for its age and pricepoint and it was basically impossible to kill it despite me and previous owner(s) really overexploited it. Moving to it from Honda Civic 1.4 was probably the biggest jump I ever had, even moving from 4-cyl diesel X5 F15 to brand new V8-powered Cayenne GTS wasn’t such a big deal emotionally.

So cool you make a review about this car! I own a 2002 E46 320Ci (6cyl) myself and its my first car aswell! I own it since 10 months and drove 10.000km (additional to the 220.000km it came with) with it. Also already brought it to the ring and learned drifting it aswell xd. It really tought my how to drive since its manual aswell and has a quite difficult stock clutch. First thing I did was spark plugs, new stock suspension, renewed stock brakes and some 18inch summer wheels. Love all you reviews but personally this was the most special one! ♥♥♥

I’m mechanically inclined so it’s a perfect car for me and offers all the features my 2011 Kia didn’t have.

It was on 150k miles with only 5 oil changes in the book so needed a rebuild and I didn’t have the time or money. Had no rust, everything worked. Sold it for £1,500

Just picked up one of these. I've owned 22+ 90s and 2000s JDM cars, this is my first euro. The driving experience is familiar, yet everything is slightly different. I'm immediately impressed by how smooth the engine is. I've owned a couple of Toyota soarer, Lexus GS300, IS300 and is200(turbo'd) and the bmw motor is significantly smoother to redline compared to the 2jz-ge, 1gfe and 1jz-gte The auto transmission is very nice, shifting is so NON-jerky, even in downshifts. Honestly very pleasant, and I think this car demands an auto more than as a manual, as it shines more in a cruising scenario. I drove the manual, and it just doesn't feel like a sports car. The steering feedback is dull, but very fast to react. Again, more of a cruising car. I'm taken by surprise that the reviewer said the car feels slow. In my opinion, it feels quick and torque. Judging from how the car reacts, I think their may be a vanos problem, which will greatly change the characteristic of how it accelerates. Either that, or the transmission is tired. This car drifts very well. I don't know how it does so with an open diff, but I've broken traction in the dry and hit round abouts in the wet, not sure why it performs so well for an open diff but the general steering is so easy to operate when sideways. My final comments, the car is awesome but I'd still rather a Toyota ;) I'll be putting some coilovers and wheels on this car, and just using it as a highway cruiser. I have a GD Honda jazz which is my everyday car, but it sucks on the highway. I also currently have a 280whp wrx which just isn't that reliable due to many of the hoses perishing from age and causing leaks. The bmw seems simple, and is honestly a highway warrior

I own since 2019 an E46 325Ci, almost the same spec, but mine is 2002 prefacelift, manual, with sunroof , not slicktop like this and halogen headlights instead of xenon from this facelift, I still love my car, repaired the shit out of it since it was with all the factory parts, except the brake discs , pads and also oil and filters ( the fuel filter was the only one from the factory 04.2002 ). After a lot of money invested, the performance is decent comparing to most of the modern cars on the road, it keeps up and overtakes them really well. I did some upgrades : H&R Anti roll bar kit, Koni FSD front and rear shocks, and Eibach Pro Kit springs, with a strut bar under the bonnet, upgraded discs to ATE Powerdisc and EBC Yellowstuff pads, added an M Pack with a front lip and a carbon fiber ducktail :D. Running on 17 inch wheels, getting 18 soon and I also got rid of the existing rust on it, so now it's mint, it had only surface rust here and there. Unfortunately I had 2 crashes with it but it's repaired and it rocks the streets

This car hasn't lost any of its horses over time. It can still do 100-160 km/h in around 13.0 seconds despite being an automatic. This proves that this engine is quite healthy. That 8.4 s 0-100 km/h claim for E46 325i Automatic was too optimistic even for brand new cars at the time. Don't judge the condition of a 325i Auto based on that factory claim. Anything between 9.0 and 9.5 s 0-100 km/h is considered excellent for an automatic E46 325i and anything between 7.5 and 7.8 s is ideal for the manual E46 325i.

It absolutely has. 9.8 sec to 100 km/h is way too slow for 192 bhp and it can barely make 218 km/h on the clock, which is 210 km/h GPS at best, a speed even the 318i was capable of achieving when new, let alone the 2.2l 320i.

@@SampleTracks2224 192 hp & almost 1.5 ton + 5 speed auto. With this configuration 0-100 km/h would be around 9.5 s (9.0 s at best). Top speed very much relies on wind and slope of the road. Yes, this car may have lost some of its original horses (I don't disagree) but I know something for sure: 100-160 km/h in 13.0 s is a great time for an Automatic E46 325i. A manual 5 speed Nissan Maxima A33 with 3.0 L & 200 hp do the same in 12.0 s!!

No, it's definitely lost some power. We used to have an e46 325i brand new back in 04 and it was definitely an 8 second car. This is a 20 year old car so it won't ever be the same again, but it's still got decent power considering all things

@@naysay5812 It hasn't lost power. It only needs some tune-up or maybe a few sensors need replacing. Even just a throttle body or intake cleaning can improve performance significantly. An automatic 325i is never a 8 s car (I have driven them). Only manual 325i are 7.5 - 8.0 s cars. A car's engine doesn't lose performance even at high mileages if it is maintained properly. Me and my friend both have the same car (Peugeot 406). My car has done 136,000 kms but his car has done 300,000+ kms! We have compared the two together and both cars are pretty much neck and neck in drag and rolling races. If his car had lost power due to high mileage, it couldn't keep up with mine.

The tire manufacturer Gislaved is Swedish. They do really good winter tires as you could assume from a nordic manufacturer. Produced in a region called Småland which is in the upper-bottom half of Sweden. The company dates back to the late 1800's and is definitely not your typical cheap asian tire brand. Today they are owned by Continental AG. For anyone curious :) The name is pronounced With a J instead of a G.

You have a clogged DISA valve which restricts power i have worked on many.325 is normally decently quick.Good though the N54 is the previous single vanos N52 doesn't suffer from those problems, the 2.5. 2.8 was probably BMW"s best ever engine.

I so love that car. Beautiful. It would be perfect with like, 250hp NA and some drop springs. Or i guess I would actually prefer an x drive model, but that review was great because it's just an undeniably good car. I wanted to ask .. my gf has a 2006 X3 3.0 and it has a tiptronic shifter. It looks like that 325 did, too? Those are underrated. I have a tuned 2009 C300 4matic sport and I drive it exclusively as a manual and get all of the joy and satisfaction I could want in a daily driver with controlling the revs, but the convenience of an automatic for the mundane. The tiptronic shifter in the X3 works great. I never understood why people prefer paddles. If I got a GT3 for a daily I would get the PDK with the manual look-alike shifter and shift by hand, not by paddle. If I had a stable of automobiles from which I could choose, of course I'd have a bunch of 3-pedal vehicles for sure. But for the people with 1 car, use those shifters and get those revs. Smiles per hour! The c300 transmission is slow but not prohibitive to fun. I've mastered it such that my timing of shifts puts it in the gear I want when I want it there, like, playing the delay accurately for maximum performance. Try it with the shifter, I can't understand why you didn't on the review...
