Thinking of buying 330ci? dont worry found it

[Kisho135i]

Hi guys thinking of buying a 330ci. anything i need to look out for or any problems normally encountered with the vehicle. Are the electronics problematic eg. roof.

What else do you recommend for under 150k?

 

[Sankekur]

For under R150k you could probably get yourself a pretty good condition e46 330i individual.......I would rather do that, would probably need to search a bit to get one though.

 

[TheMo]

I agree with Sankekur :thumbs:

 

[Kisho135i]

why may i ask 330i over 330ci?

 

[v1p3r]

Because it's hard to find a really good "ci" for less than 150k. There are more very good 330i's for that kind of money

As for your question, the same issues that would pop up on a sedan would pop up after similar mileage. Only roof discolouration because of weather might force you into getting that re-done or replaced really - as an addition to the sedan's stuff. The roof mechanisms aren't usually problematic

Thanks for the info

I would choose the 330i but admire the 330ci :thumbs:

 

[Sankekur]

Agreed, guys are asking insane prices for the Ci's so you could get a much better kitted out 330i, also the 330i is more that a 100kg lighter than the Ci, so it is faster.

Why not go for a 135i rather. are you at altitude?

Your name says 135i? How does that fit in? Did you own one?

From a new M3 to a 330??

Sorry, my bad ... u said under R150k

 

[Kisho135i]

I had a 135i then 335 then m6 vert then bought the m3 after that. I don't want to pay installments anymore. My next car I wanna buy cash and save the installment. My wife got a nice family car so I just need something to go to work, and cruise on weekends if needed thats why thought 330 ci cause I miss the convert. Not worry about weight too much cause if it feels a bit sluggish branch decat exhaust bmc filter and chip always does the trick. Budget for car R120 000 so if you guys come across something let me know.

See this is exactly the kind of crazy prices I was referring to, this is e46 M3 kind of money they want for a Ci :nonono:

 

[Kisho135i]

Agreed, total madness! And there so many of them.

 

[Dogland]

So....u happy with ur 330ci ?

 

[Kisho135i]

Never bought 1, hopefully getting Honda s2000 soon.

I have a 330Ci vert and it is a gem. Rock solid, goes like it's on steroids and looks soooooo hot. Poetry in motion.
