High mileage E46 buying advice. A few days ago I ran across a 2004 330Ci ZHP for sale locally. It's a 2 owner car that looks very well cared for. Downside is the 223,000 miles on the odometer. I was shown the Carfax and nearly all of the service was done at two local BMW dealerships. There are about 20 records that are mostly regular The heart of any M car was the engine, and in the case of E46 M3, it was the S54, 3.2-liter, a straight-six unit with 343 hp and 8,000 rpm redline. BMW E46 is one of the most reliable cars from the German automaker and is known to have a sturdy powertrain and overall build quality. Over the years, E46 had different engines and transmissions, and most of them were quite reliable. If maintained properly, BMW E46 would last for years without any major problems. 5. It’s a classic. While the E36 may not be as icy-cool as the E30 and not as good looking as the E46, it’s still a classic. Plus E30s are ridiculously expensive nowadays and E46s aren’t
Just as the M3 has evolved from daily driver to track car, Andrew himself has progressed as a driver and DIYer. From basic oil/filter changes to addressing common E46 issues like reinforcing the subframe, rod bearings and VANOS issues, Andrew has done it all in his garage. The car has been a test bed for almost every E46 M3 part imaginable
Make sure the rear subframe is in good shape. Those tend to go out on the E46. The E46's are pretty easy to wrench on, so if you can do the maintenance I'd give it a shot. The electronics will likely fail in some way or another. I know BMW fanbois are going to downvote this to hell and back but it's true. BMWs have terrible wiring.
