Yeah its in great condition, next service is inspection 2, bit of a blow but I think the car was priced to take that into account. Only 2 in same colour on AT & they are 20k+ & were manuals with more miles etc

I think I did well

We'll see about the wheels, there a bit pricey like.

Tyres are in the bag, I didnt get much off the price but I got a set of tyres thrown in the deal. There sat in my garage waiting to go on

Ins 2 is in around 8k - 800/900 service but im not too bothered. The car I put in against it was due a belt service too so I would have been doing a big service albeit slightly cheaper one anyway!!

Have you tried the instrument clocks test?
In my car you hold the trip reset button down, then put ignition to 1, let go of the reset button and it does a test.
Might work on E46s.

Nice one Colin I still want one and when i do the SMG is the one!

Don't really agree with the Scooby comment though man mine has bags of speed at pretty much any range....the 182 on the other hand

My old 328i coupe was awesome though and loved the power delivery..soooooooo smooth

And thats after a week?
