E46 is a great car, especially if you enjoy maintaining it yourself. If you're one of those people who who know nothing about cars or don't want to ever check oil levels or do anything other than bring it to a garage once a year for MOT and oil change, this is not the car for you.
aka the people that think bmws are just german hondas
okey, so in ur opinion, the great car is that one which force you to bring it to mechanics more than once a year? Total bullshit.
or for people that wanna learn i copped a e46 myself and was never really into cars but slowly keep repairing things myself and learning.
Ignorant comment tbh pathetic comment in fact
@@fuckedyourmom420 yeah great cars for this so easy to work on
mans not hot
He is a BMW driver..the gas light’s on lol
Lol can go like 6 miles with light on too
He also has thick accent, boom box and poffy jacket 👌. Well baesically he is arab.
@@Gonken88 No, Pakistani descendant
@@josephbenadam I have a hair here, can you come over and split it for me?
You forgot to mention this, have your VIN, call your BMW dealer and give them your VIN so they can see if front driver and passenger airbags are changed or not because E46-E39 cars are affected by this. The airbag company TAKATA had factory fault/design with shoot metal pieces to the driver’s and passenger’s face when activated. Instant 200km/h straight to your face. Keep doing videos
Hell yes can't wait

Wow 28 dislikes this is a great video they guy gets to the point and gives relevant information keep it up bro
It's because people think he's a Muslim and most people don't like Muslims from Pakistan or Bangladesh born in the UK Midlands.
@@ppppugh7892 WTF LMAO
@@ppppugh7892Nop. At All...
@@urbietorbi4114 yea what he talking about
@@yoshen9556 urbi et orbi was agreeing with him. They don't like them at all. And for good reasons too yeh.
I have a BMW 320Ci and I find myself very well. This engine was the best for a good 3-4 years
That magnet idea is good
Learnt something new today
my man was thinking of buying one, this was honestly the most professional review// warning video I've ever seen, smashed it
This was really helpful, nice and straight to the point.
I bought a 2001 330ci vert at 77k and drove it for 3 years and you are so right. I had to change the rocker cover gasket twice, window regulator and motor had to be changed twice aswell, not to mention a million other issues. These cars are not worth having unless you do your research into their issues and this is a great video to underline a few.
Jesus you must've treated it like shit lol. I've had mine for 2 years and only had to get new switches for the windows and basic things like replacing turn signal lights
Same here with both e46’s I’ve owned. And i looked after them extremely well. They always needed something fixing. Easy to diy most of the time but got sick of it after a while.
Dude chill out how are u driving your cars lmao
Um ok... oil filter housing gasket leak, oil pan gasket leak, water pump leak, expansion tank crack, top and bottom hose leak, front control arms fail, sagging roof lining, air lines crack and leak.... love my e46
I felt this🤣😭
My friend was also having a shot ton of leaks on his car. However I still really want one, especially the 330ci
My little 318ci is great and I’ve replaced a lot on her but the o my thing that I’m not doing myself is the timing cover gasket. I was going to get a private ref but looks like that money is going to the repair now
My e46 engine leaks like a sieve
Air lines??? IN the engine no?
Awesome video man, just bought my first e46 and so far I love it, it is an 01 330ci auto and, other then a few cosmetic issues like the rust you mentioned it is a solid car, spent $1400.00 to buy it and have another $250.00 to bring it back to life.
howard ware HOW ???!! Its so cheap damn it
Shubladze Saba depends where you are, I’m looking at a 330 drop for 1k right now
@@shubladzesaba4375 Yeh! I checked a mint one today, 13k$, not a penny less...that's dirt cheap, but it should be beat up like hell!
These are basic informations of e46. All of e46 owners have to know about this. After know this, buy this dream. It has good enough value kk
just about to swipe my credit card for a 2004 e46 330 ci sport convertible to be my run around to save my c63s from a brutal daily commute of start stop traffic. the interior is well and truly battered but the engine and exterior seem in good condition . thanks for the video, very useful mate !
auto or manual?
@@thatbimmerkid6073 as my wife is going to drive it , I had to go with an auto unfortunately. it is quite a decent transmission for pottering along for my daily commute . It will hopefully save my other car around 3 to 4 k of urban mileage annually .. I would have loved a manual.
Go get it its one of the best I have 330ci 2006 and it runs very well I like the styling and so far its been good to me..
Great video, good information on e46, you are definitely right about all the weaknesses the car has.
Great video, thanks for that dude. On the look out for one of these so great tips!
Great video bro! Keep it up!
On point I have a 325 ci e46 now I want an m3 model. Good cars. I have work on my car on my own for 4 years now still going strong a bit high mileage
good video explaining the do and dont when you buy
Nice video and straight to the point. Thank you!!!
what MAF sensor does your car use, my 330ci used BREMI brand as that was the original OE when it was bought new. but i heard other 330ci also use seimens/VDO MAFS to, i think these car depending on the year manufacture date use specific MAF sensors. also 325ci and 330ci can not use same maf, they are not interchangeable due to different motor setup.
Great video and info my friend! Big upppp
Been looking at picking one up. Thanks for the tips
The man before but on 265s on the back, and the arches rubbed. Be sure to check there’s no more than 255s on the back otherwise will make a bad noise and damage the arch liners
Question for 330ci owners, when your cars been on for a while and you lift the bonnet does yours always feel very hot?. Yes temp gauge it smack in the middle mine always seems hot compared to other cars I’ve owned
I have a 318ci (yes I know its not the same as a 330) and its usually hot as well after being on for a while and kinda has a burnt smell compared with other cars. Its always like that and more that now we are in summer but I guess its something normal
Yes
yes even the newer 330i e92 gets incredibly hot after a short drive even in cold weather
This deserves more likes, good job bro.
I own an e46 330i I bought it because after a ban I couldn’t (or be fucked) to insure another Porsche, my car comes under classic insurance so it’s dirt cheap to insure! I have a great mate who is a mechanic and has been re-mapped it goes like “shit off a shovel” if you want a sports car that can shift, this is a beautiful bit of kit!!!👍
E46 is great drivers car.If you take care on it it will last long time and bring you lot of joy .
Good car the e46 this is a good helpful video to some people few tips there that are useful to a potential buyer with no knowledge of the product 👍
Great vid, mate.
Instant subscribe fam
great vid ting
It’s the prefacelifts that have the subframe issues
It seems some of you know nothing I've been a mechanic/mechanical engineer/car technician for 15 years I've worked on more of these cars then I've had hot diners all the problems you all mention I've come across them all but gess what the cars still run and in the fifteen years I've worked on cars the only other car I've seen do this is the 2004 mondeo. these 330ci engines are like tanks
@InnerGuide fuck me mate bit late to that wasn't you
cheers brother, great video.
Thanks for the pointers
perfect video , i am intrested in buying a bmw e46 320ci but i am afraid the tuning potencial , can i raise the horsepower with turbos and others things ?
I enjoy mine alot but I would just buy a 330 if you want to tune it because it has more potential, the 320ci is just for enjoying the straight six sound, all I did is fit a carbon airbox to it for the intake noise
Great info.
nice car man!
I bought a 03 320i, just a good deal I couldn’t pass up. Fun little car. I’ll probably tint the taillights like this one, looks cleaner.
Great vid
Is there any number or code on the 330i engine to make sure it's 330i and not 320 or 325, becoze I'm buying a 330i .
I’m going to check a manual 05’ 330CI tomorrow…
this was either luton or bradford ,it was probably 2 cars into one anyway , would you buy this £450 tops .
Brother it's still a aweeeeeeeesoomeee carrrrr
Aswell as the radiator warping, oxygen sensors, visa valve, propshaft coupling, differential bush, coolant tank, steering resovoir leak, all the subframe bushes, ccv basically everything after 100k goes all plastic piping what im tryna say dont buy an e46 buy a pushbike 5 e46s down nothing but problems they drain your bank account
Drive my 2001 Ci daily. The areas you point out are issues on any car. Hang out in an auto repair place for awhile and you'll see those are all the norm for almost everything.
nutsackmania lmao very true.
POKEMASTERchannel your cars just shit mate
Maybe you had one that had been treated like shit mate
Update
Had my 330d 5 weeks now & it’s an absolute dream to drive. No thrashing, no boy racering around like a dickhead, just cruising in style & treating her to weekly washes & plenty of loving 😀
Well done m8
Loose guy, sick vid mate
Great video.
what are those rims please?
Style 32s
'none turbo'.. The words you're looking for are naturally aspirated 👍
non turbo*. it means the same thing when talking about turbo vs na cut the semantics.
It means exactly the same thing you pedantic fool, both phrases are commonly used
I like you John Merrick

“ ......whats pedantic?”
Everyone is an expert now.
Nice video! Can u give me the name of the song? :D
Where are the headlights from??
Where u gone Lek Tech?
Have a mechanic looking over one today
Well done and straight to the point.
Thank you
If your buying an e46.. DO NOT GET THE 1.9 M43 engine. Avoid at all costs lol. Terrible engine barely puts out 102hp not even brake and drinks like a whale
Lol every time I try to buy a z3 all I see is cars with the 1.9 its soooo gross lol
Will I be able to buy a e46 330 for 3k euros?
@@penetrateur4497 doubt it. Depends on your region...
Funny stuff i test drove one and yeah the brakes are pretty bad and It felt pretty slow but i couldn't really go over 3k rpm because the owner was in the car lol
I wanted one but without u going to look at one with me I give up. I have an 05 Lexus 330 rx that gives me no trouble. So I guess I’ll just stay bored driving that.
ur amazing
Subframe issues are only on e46 M3's
That's wrong. Trust me I know.
What do you guys think of a 2002 316i ?
Underpowered, heavy on fuel. I would Rather get a 2 litre diesel m sport mate cheaper to run and more power and more gains via remap.
What back bumper is that?
Mtech-II rear bumper with distance / parking control
you are that guy i dont want to but my cars haha
Nicholas but yet he knows much more about maintenance and mechanics than a more ‘respectable’ looking seller. Never judge a book by its cover.
Come from bradford inittttttt
Dj khaled
like a said = lacazette
money pits after 60000 miles everything goes wrong with them..i bought mine new..
Not really lol compared to newer cars. Parts are cheap, ive owned my 330ci for 4 years now, 160k on the clock and its had no major issues.
Iv had a 330 and a 325, spent £3000 on the 330 and £6000 on the 325, all maintenance issues. But I still loved both cars. Saloons not coupes. The clubsport is especially nice if you can find one.
Something goes wrong.. Fix it
Damn so its not a reliable car?
Yes they are if you know how to use a wrench
They are excellent if a 6 cylinder model..Odd silly little issue here and there mostly caused by those buy these to abuse the life out of them. If find one thats cared for serviced and kept in proper order you wont go wrong
All bmw cars always leaking oil🤣
Thanks for the video, however I kind of felt like you might reach through the screen and stab me fam
Ok, and now free advice for you. Dont buy any kind of BMW if you dont have money for fuel ...
What's this accent?
Brum
Unintelligible.
Typical English accent
@@bandolero6339 No matter what accent Asian kids always still have the Asian tongue and voice
Bua ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Video clips praising BMW 330i - 50. Video clips complaining -1.
Vanos is cheap what u talking haha
one thing is for sure .You never want to buy one from a muslim or a albanian !
carforumwanker racist
They’ll neglect it say it has no issues and it will explode driving home
Opposite in my experience. Went to a white brit and the engine light came 2 minutes into the test drive
Muslim is a wrong choice of a word but you can say Asian and not all Asians are Muslims. Albanians ? i wont disagree they never buy a straight car always a CAT vehicle repaired. Same goes for majority of the Eastern Europeans
@@JM-kx7dh Which Council Estate from?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Bloody rubbish
And never buy one from an Asian! As they never service their cars and that is a fact!! Any time I have went too see a car and one these people show up I just say... SORRY DUDE I AM NOT INTERESTED
I am a BMW Coupe Convertible guy i wont buy a BMW from any Asian youngster. They never service the cars, Turn them into an Asian Bride after 6 children. If an Asian guy says its a straigt car trust me its an unrecorded Salvage car with 6 different shades of paint.
@@lnr243 lmao 🤣 that is very true and they also want about market value for their piles shit that really should be in the junk yard 😂
You need camel, not car
Mocking it 💀💀💀💀
Tsar bomb you’ve got terrible music taste mate
I dont like this guys face!
hahahaha
Thanks mate. Good advice.
