mans not hot

E46 is a great car, especially if you enjoy maintaining it yourself. If you're one of those people who who know nothing about cars or don't want to ever check oil levels or do anything other than bring it to a garage once a year for MOT and oil change, this is not the car for you.

He is a BMW driver..the gas light’s on lol

You forgot to mention this, have your VIN, call your BMW dealer and give them your VIN so they can see if front driver and passenger airbags are changed or not because E46-E39 cars are affected by this. The airbag company TAKATA had factory fault/design with shoot metal pieces to the driver’s and passenger’s face when activated. Instant 200km/h straight to your face. Keep doing videos

Wow 28 dislikes this is a great video they guy gets to the point and gives relevant information keep it up bro

I have a BMW 320Ci and I find myself very well. This engine was the best for a good 3-4 years

my man was thinking of buying one, this was honestly the most professional review// warning video I've ever seen, smashed it

That magnet idea is good Learnt something new today

This was really helpful, nice and straight to the point.

Great video, thanks for that dude. On the look out for one of these so great tips!

Um ok... oil filter housing gasket leak, oil pan gasket leak, water pump leak, expansion tank crack, top and bottom hose leak, front control arms fail, sagging roof lining, air lines crack and leak.... love my e46

Great video, good information on e46, you are definitely right about all the weaknesses the car has.

I bought a 2001 330ci vert at 77k and drove it for 3 years and you are so right. I had to change the rocker cover gasket twice, window regulator and motor had to be changed twice aswell, not to mention a million other issues. These cars are not worth having unless you do your research into their issues and this is a great video to underline a few.

Great video bro! Keep it up!

Nice video and straight to the point. Thank you!!!

Awesome video man, just bought my first e46 and so far I love it, it is an 01 330ci auto and, other then a few cosmetic issues like the rust you mentioned it is a solid car, spent $1400.00 to buy it and have another $250.00 to bring it back to life.

Been looking at picking one up. Thanks for the tips

Great video and info my friend! Big upppp

good video explaining the do and dont when you buy

what MAF sensor does your car use, my 330ci used BREMI brand as that was the original OE when it was bought new. but i heard other 330ci also use seimens/VDO MAFS to, i think these car depending on the year manufacture date use specific MAF sensors. also 325ci and 330ci can not use same maf, they are not interchangeable due to different motor setup.

On point I have a 325 ci e46 now I want an m3 model. Good cars. I have work on my car on my own for 4 years now still going strong a bit high mileage

just about to swipe my credit card for a 2004 e46 330 ci sport convertible to be my run around to save my c63s from a brutal daily commute of start stop traffic. the interior is well and truly battered but the engine and exterior seem in good condition . thanks for the video, very useful mate !

These are basic informations of e46. All of e46 owners have to know about this. After know this, buy this dream. It has good enough value kk

This deserves more likes, good job bro.

The man before but on 265s on the back, and the arches rubbed. Be sure to check there’s no more than 255s on the back otherwise will make a bad noise and damage the arch liners

I own an e46 330i I bought it because after a ban I couldn’t (or be fucked) to insure another Porsche, my car comes under classic insurance so it’s dirt cheap to insure! I have a great mate who is a mechanic and has been re-mapped it goes like “shit off a shovel” if you want a sports car that can shift, this is a beautiful bit of kit!!!👍

E46 is great drivers car.If you take care on it it will last long time and bring you lot of joy .

Good car the e46 this is a good helpful video to some people few tips there that are useful to a potential buyer with no knowledge of the product 👍

Great vid, mate.

Is there any number or code on the 330i engine to make sure it's 330i and not 320 or 325, becoze I'm buying a 330i .

Thanks for the pointers

this was either luton or bradford ,it was probably 2 cars into one anyway , would you buy this £450 tops .

Question for 330ci owners, when your cars been on for a while and you lift the bonnet does yours always feel very hot?. Yes temp gauge it smack in the middle mine always seems hot compared to other cars I’ve owned

It’s the prefacelifts that have the subframe issues

cheers brother, great video.

Instant subscribe fam

I bought a 03 320i, just a good deal I couldn’t pass up. Fun little car. I’ll probably tint the taillights like this one, looks cleaner.

great vid ting

Great info.

It seems some of you know nothing I've been a mechanic/mechanical engineer/car technician for 15 years I've worked on more of these cars then I've had hot diners all the problems you all mention I've come across them all but gess what the cars still run and in the fifteen years I've worked on cars the only other car I've seen do this is the 2004 mondeo. these 330ci engines are like tanks

I’m going to check a manual 05’ 330CI tomorrow…

Where are the headlights from??

nice car man!

perfect video , i am intrested in buying a bmw e46 320ci but i am afraid the tuning potencial , can i raise the horsepower with turbos and others things ?

Great vid

Have a mechanic looking over one today

Everyone is an expert now.

Loose guy, sick vid mate

Well done m8

I wanted one but without u going to look at one with me I give up. I have an 05 Lexus 330 rx that gives me no trouble. So I guess I’ll just stay bored driving that.

Where u gone Lek Tech?

Nice video! Can u give me the name of the song? :D

Brother it's still a aweeeeeeeesoomeee carrrrr

Great video. what are those rims please?

'none turbo'.. The words you're looking for are naturally aspirated 👍

Well done and straight to the point. Thank you

Aswell as the radiator warping, oxygen sensors, visa valve, propshaft coupling, differential bush, coolant tank, steering resovoir leak, all the subframe bushes, ccv basically everything after 100k goes all plastic piping what im tryna say dont buy an e46 buy a pushbike 5 e46s down nothing but problems they drain your bank account

ur amazing

What do you guys think of a 2002 316i ?

Subframe issues are only on e46 M3's

What back bumper is that?

you are that guy i dont want to but my cars haha

If your buying an e46.. DO NOT GET THE 1.9 M43 engine. Avoid at all costs lol. Terrible engine barely puts out 102hp not even brake and drinks like a whale

Come from bradford inittttttt

Dj khaled

Thanks mate. Good advice.

Bua ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Video clips praising BMW 330i - 50. Video clips complaining -1.

Bloody rubbish

Ok, and now free advice for you. Dont buy any kind of BMW if you dont have money for fuel ...

And never buy one from an Asian! As they never service their cars and that is a fact!! Any time I have went too see a car and one these people show up I just say... SORRY DUDE I AM NOT INTERESTED

one thing is for sure .You never want to buy one from a muslim or a albanian !

You need camel, not car

I dont like this guys face!
