Purchase advice. E46M3 vs 335i coupe

[kabal]

Found a clean, grey e6 manual' 04 model 111k kms. 19" OEM wheels. But R280k seems a bit steep no?

thats a crazy price IMO, convertable?

if I was selling my car now I would want about R200K.

03 with 120000km.
OEM CSL wheels + originals
including all mods, boot, diffusor, splitters, smoke corners + all original parts.

For this prcie you will be able to get a 335i still with a year of motorplan, maybe 2 and much lower km's.

Not sure if this will make a difference in your decision.

A E90 I'm guessing? Not sure about a coupe. For that price it seems I can only get an 07 that's around 100k kms....


maybe I'm looking in the wrong places..

Let's talk...

Oh and one more thing. What are the differences between the pre-facelift and the facelift versions?

xenons std
led taillights
better headers
updated oilpump and big end barings (ie the recall parts)
maybe some other stuff

quality thread! been pondering the SAME thing... can u REALLY get a 335i for that price though... and with m/plan still? another thing with the 335, when did they switch from twin turbos to the twinscroll single turbo?? i've heard the twin turbo was problematic...

my friend's twin turbo 135i dies every so often when he drives spiritedly...

1st Coupe, 44,500km's!! Mmmmm!!raise:

 

[zabbo]

This makes sense but I personnaly would not go for a pre - LCI model (2009)instead of an ///M. The newer ones just look so much better imo.

So when are you selling :fencelook:

E46 is heavier on fuel then the E36. Mine sits around 14l/100km. But thats nearly all town driving.

+1 on the e46 being heavier than the e36, although mine never went over 13l/100km

I agree... I could drive from JHB to Colesburg on one tank of fuel in my E36 3.0 ! With the E46, when I get to Bloemfontein its nearly on reserve.
