Hi Matt. I have a 2003 325Ci M Sport in Imola red with 114K on it now. Have had it for 3 years, absolutely love it. Had a previous identical spec. car for 12 years, took it to 170K it was great, but looked terrible bodily, it had done all its' miles on motorway runs. However... hope this helps anyone looking at these cars. The M54 engine in 2.5, 2.8 and 3.3 version has a damning common fault with piston rings. My car looks beautiful, is completely rust free on top and underneath, looks like it has been really well looked after. Previous owner had it for 16 years. It now uses a litre of oil every 250 miles. Engine is sweet as a nut, no blue smoke from exhaust ever, passes MOT's on emissions no problem, but gums up spark plugs for fun. This shows up on diagnostic tools as random misfires before the plug fails completely and has to be replaced. Nobody who sells you one of these cars is going to tell you that it uses shit loads of oil. Remedy is an engine rebuild at a cost of more than the car is worth. The ring problem can manifest itself as low as 70K, it depends on how it has been driven and how many oil changes have been done. The worn seat looks like loads of ins and outs, exactly the same as mine, possibly short trips, if the oil has been left to the BMW service intervals then it is game over for those engines I'm afraid. Buying one of these cars is a massive gamble.

Can’t resist an E46!

Love this kind of video from you, shows how to buy a car properly. Reminds me of the old Car Throttle videos where they'd try buy a certain type of car for a fixed budget.

That was a brilliant video Matt,I actually felt I was there with you doing the deal, there's something exciting about buying a used car like that even better if you as you say (come up smelling of roses!).more videos like this please.

More videos like this Matt! I was hooked throughout it

Couldn’t believe a car looking that good cost such little money. Absolute beauty

I love my E46 convertible, so much fun to drive and it gets lots of looks and nice comments even though it’s not the tidiest! The one in this video really reminds me of mine 🙂

Great video Matt, you did well there, finding such a nice car, on a limited budget, in a short time, well done. I hope your friend is happy with it😊.

Yesterday Mat Armstrong was rebuilding a RS6 in 24 hours and today Matt Goodwin is buying a 330CI in 24 hours. 😂

Great video Matt, been nice to see this through, reaction & repairs. Good watch as I've just come out of hospital, just had a lifesaving cancer operation. I'm a tad butchered.

Fairfield is my local BMW dealer, I have had 8 cars from them with no problems. Honest viewing as it is still possible to get a hidden gem.

Yet, another great video. Love your work.

Just want to say thank you for your videos. We went on holiday to Majorca 15th July and while away we lost our dad here in Palma. Watching your videos have helped us hugely. Keep up the great work.

Love these. Last summer I was lucky enough to pick up a 330ci auto convertible with fbmwsh, black leather interior and only 90k miles. Ended up using it as a daily ever since. Only done a few small jobs but despite being a little juicy, makes a perfect daily for little money.

This video is absolutely right up my Bavarian and coincidentally BMW-loving alley, can't wait to watch this

What a find Matt well done!
