Hi,

I have always been a BMW fan, just never thought I would want to own one second hand that I can afford. But after doing some research and asking a lot of questions, It should be the same as with any other car you can buy with more than 100K km's on the clock. It should really not be any different just because it is a BMW.

I currently drive a White 2007 VW Polo GTi with only 81 000km on the clock, and with a baby girl and another baby boy on the way, I really need a family car that I can drive daily but also something a bit cheaper on the instalment side of things than what I am currently paying. I thought an E46 Individual BMW would be the Perfect choice. These cars are just so damn sexy especially in white or Estorilblau metallic.

I would be my dream to own a neat looked after E46 325i or 330i with decent Km's and black leather or a 323i/325i M Sport E90 within my budget. So I am currently searching my butt off looking for one, so may I please ask that if anyone of you may know of someone willing to sell one, please let me know. From what I can read it sounds like I might be in a queue for a car like this.

I hope to own one shortly and truly be a BMWFanatic.

Thanks,

e46 Individual all the way!!! I had an exclusive which I then transformed into an individual by buying the bumpers and other interior goodies that make it such a beautiful car. I really miss her...

I sold her for R70k last year august. She had 156 000km on the clock and drove like a beaut. Many of the guys on the forum will remember her... maybe cause I supercharged her, but even before that, she was an amazing car, never gave me any hassles in the 7 years I owned her. She really did me proud.

:thumbs:

Good luck in finding that e46 Dream... will keep my ears wide open for you. If I hear anything, will post here!!

Actually... come to think of it... I did a double take today while driving when I saw a white e46 325ci in Msport trim drive past... man what a beauty!!! I sometimes have thought of selling my M3 and buying an individual 330i and slapping my supercharger in there, only because the e46 Msport is so damn sexy... then the M3 kicks me in the head and I come to my senses..

as they all said...

Welcome to the forum and sure you will enjoy your daily dose of fanatics.
Best of luck in finding the BM that you want and please post some pics of your GTI.

Best to use i think would be photobucket :thumbs:

 

[StealthM]

Thanks again guys :ty:

I was able to find an Alpine White 320i Individual with 167 000 Km on the clock with all black interior but I really want a 325i or 330i.

Well, let the search continue.......

Still trying to figure out how to upload photo's, Hehe......Noob!

 

[Twinz]

Are you taking the 320i...?

I quietly hope not so. Dont you want to hold out for the 330 or 325?

 

[OppositeLockMT]

You will most likely regret the 320i. There isn't much modding potential to make it peppier either.

 

[Schmetzi]

welcome:bravo::bravo::bravo:

 

[StealthM]

I was tempted for the White 320i Individual, but your right.

Will rather wait to find a 325i or 330i. I do not want a black one, any other color would be find, must be a manual without wood trim.

........Mmmm, makes my options so much less to choose from.

 

[Thunder]

Welcome dude.

Good luck with your search.

How bout some pics of your Vdub?
