RE: Are all E46's rusty ?
I'm at wits end here.. I'm looking for a good car and the only reason 46 is I need diesel. So 02 or 03 I though would have been a good choice. Every single car I've looked at, rang about, heard about etc has been rusty or blistering so it's gonna get worse. They have been the biggest heartache I've ever seen. So after that it'll be an e36 but there not many of them for sale either, it's not a drifter I'm looking for, my old e36 was yes but still looked after it, this one will be the same but some general use noting mad
RE: Are all E46's rusty ?
Any engine size limitations for an e36? The silver 323 in Cork is a cracking low mileage car has everything you want done (m50 manifol,328 exhaust, 3.15lsd) and is 2.0 tax very clean car too. Wish I could buy it and store it somewhere myself!
RE: Are all E46's rusty ?
Because it's been a daily with big mileage every week I'd want an IS if petrol. To me there the best mix of mpg and messability.. If looking at petrol max of 2 grand and diesel a max of 3

Would you not just get an e46 with minimal rust, talk him down in price because of the rust then what you save stick it in spend a few quid gettin the rust treated and sprayed.
I got alot treated on the e39.

That's now what it's looking like, have asked my painter and it's not massive money, I'm looking at this at 4. It's the last 46 and if this is shite it's E36 all the way http://cars.donedeal.ie/view/7497935

RE: Are all E46's rusty ?
That just has sport bumpers, the interior is all Se stuff...
RE: Are all E46's rusty ?
Good spot, most wouldn't notice that, which is prob what he seller is relying on
RE: Are all E46's rusty ?
I know it's a se. He has the standard interior for it there, if I but it's all coming out anyway, things like that won't bother me if the cars good
