mate you need to do these 'shoutouts' to sponsors at the beginning of the video. I might be the only one, but when you switch to talking about something completely unrelated to the car, I find myself just totally switching off by opening another window. Soon enough I'm totally distracted, and don't end up coming back to the video.

I absolutely loved that car and it broke my heart when I had to sell it. Drove that beast through amazing sunny days and through winter blizzards. It never let me down! The 50-50 weight distribution really helped during winter but never the less I had salt bags in the trunk and winter tires. The only thing I ever modified was the stereo. Took it out and fitted an aux kit to the stock system. I miss that car dearly…..I guess it’s true, you never forget your first!

I've never been able to spend a vast amount on cars and I've always bought what I had for my own pleasure not to sell and I've had over 60 cars which is more than my age of 56 years lol , but what money I've had ive anyways bought cars that are in superb condition but always lost on them but I looked at this way the money I lost I put that down to the enjoyment I've had out of them so I've never seen them as a loss but gains in grin factor .

I couldn’t agree more with your thoughts. We desired and appreciated those cars so much when they were factory fresh. Now that they are accessible we search for reasons to justify buying them. I don’t think we need a reason. It’s ok to buy what you love and enjoy it for what it is. Even if that means just looking at it and admiring the design. Cars stir our emotions and that’s what makes us human. Anything to make us feel good these days is worth having in my world. Even better if it’s got 4 wheels and an engine. Congratulations, superb car and gorgeous colour combination. An increasingly rare beauty.

I fully agree that era of BMW' is the best, by far, and Oxford Green is the best colour. I also had an E39 530i manual a few years ago and concur that the 3.0 engine is stunning.

Great vid. I completely understand. I love car design but I neither own a car nor have to a licence. & after buying car mags as a teen (100s) & now slavishly watching all the latest car videos on KZfaq- I completely get the idea of just looking & enjoying the pure design of certain cars from a certain period. That era of 3 series is probably my favourite BMW. Although the new X1 looks- how do you say- Quality lol. I left school when the Lexus LS & MX-5 & BMW X5 first came out. They were heady days. People forget how revolutionary the X5 was in the day- not only in execution but also market acceptance that translated into not only big sales but also cash cows that enabled companies to not only survive but also thrive. Look at Porsche's balance sheet because they (quite rightly) made an SUV to pay for everything else. It would interesting to see a roll call of not only all the cars you have owned, but also the buy & sell figure stories to fill in the random mentioning of various cars in all of yr vlogs. Have you done a story on a MX-5? If not please do. I enjoy yr work immensely. Please keep it up. D

Well done, bloody nice cars these, but if you wanted a creak/rattle free one, you have to get the coupe (I had a 2003 325Ci that I sold about a year ago, and it was a great drivers car, and rattle free). You're right about not "needing one", I didn't either, but it was a nice thing to drive for the couple of years I had it (as a second car, daily was a boring SUV). And the hangar style shed - I'm totally with you on that, I also seriously considered renting a warehouse not long back (as my fleet is now up to 5, and only one can fit in the garage). I'm also with you on the 90's and early 2000's being (High?)"Peak Car", mine are from 1993 through to 2009. Cheers!

E46 coupe’s are great looking cars and they didn’t kill its good looks with the cabriolet, which in itself is often quite an achievement. We had a 330i Touring back in the day (and a pre-facelift 318i coupe when almost new); the earlier 318i had better steering feel, but the straight-six had a much better soundtrack, if it wasn’t as quick as I thought it was going to be. £3.5k is a bargain however - and probably better for being an auto 👍

A great review and I agree with everything you say - especially about the size (width) of modern cars. I have a Morgan which I have no identifiable use for which I drove for 1200 miles in the last year ... but I love it. Your BMW is from the the year I like best. We all need an irrational car.

Always wanted a 330ci. The straight six makes a wonderful noise. I had a 320 Ci but always regretted not getting the 3 litre. I don't think you're weird. I'd do exactly the same. Great video Mat.

Just watched this video and you've actually bought a fair few of the cars you list as your dream cars for your massive garage!

Great video! I totally get what you're saying! I think modern cars are convenient but classic cars can be fun and nice to look at! It's nostalgia at the end of the day and a personal thing that's not easy to explain! If had the space, I would have a 2nd car.

That is so clean for an E46! I was looking for another E46 for ages and recently ended up lumping for an E90 due to all of the rusty E46's.

I must say I much prefer seeing a spec like this than the usual black with red interior. You just know when you see red leather that its going to smell of expensive aftershave and have almost no service history.

😂 yes definitely. If it smells of Creed then you can guarantee they haven’t done a brake fluid service

I drive a '04 330Ci six speed manual with 320.000 km so I have to deal with those inconveniences that you mentioned but in a certain way I love the fact of driving an old good looking coupe with it's good and bad things.

Hey I like your channel a lot. Being a kid in late 80s and early 90s, how fascinating to see we have the same taste in car models! %90 of your picks and the models you mention in here are my favs as well.. Love your humour while you first time view cars and comment 😊

I’m with you on the ridiculously large grilles on the new beemers. Just spoils the look of the car.

Love this video. That green is superb! I had an E46 BMW 330 Ci Coupe automatic in silver. Gorgeous car, the smooth power of the six cylinder was addictive. I thought it handled really well too. Then the electronics started to give trouble so I traded it in against a Jaguar XF 3.0d, which was even better. I like the sound of a garage filled with 90's / early 2000's cars including tasty sounding BMWs (I had 4 from that era) and a 3 litre Jaguar X-Type (also a car I loved owning). I come from an earlier era, Matt, but I love your taste in cars! Keep up the honest feedback, it's entertaining and informative!

The E46 is a classic in its own right. BMW nailed it with this model. As with the E39 BMW were at their best.

Nice car Matt and a 5 speed auto-box I'll bet and what a great colour one of my all time favourites. Cheers for sharing a classic. Dapper Dan do they have head shiners for Baldies like me?
