Today I’ve bought a cheap, low mileage BMW 3 Series Estate. The e46 really is my favourite era of 3 Series, so let’s see what it’s like.

My wife used to have a 2003 E46 320d SE, we bought it in 2007 on 137k miles, and I sold it in 2016 with 308k miles. What a car that was. Just kept on going, and never, ever let us down
-
Manual seats are a good thing. Anyone planning on keeping a vehicle for a substantial length of time, when the electronic seats break down they're hideously expensive to fix; even on non-luxury models. Giving drivers two options where the seats won't slide up & down uncontrollably. Either all the way forward, or all the way back. The manual ones practically never break. For a single owner/single driver car, they just make more sense.
-
The wheel size suits the car imo. Not everything needs to have its ride compromised for a look that will, like everything, go out of fashion.
-
Any trader that fits Bosch wipers and replaces the rusty number plate screws for new ones with the correct caps is one to trust. The spare wheel was probably there as it lives under the second false floor and will be a space saver. Top job.
-
Ooh nice, I used to have one of these - my first ever decent car. For weeks after I got it I would look out of my bedroom window at it when I couldn’t sleep at night!😆 Who can blame me after several £500 transits and a mark 2 Escort!
-
Rare to find a low miler E46 touring, they still look modern today, great cars and still desirable today. BMW designs tend to never date (not being biased being a BMW fan)
-
I will like this video without watching it fully because I LOVE the e46 touring!
-
This is a lovely example, you’ve done it again Matt, overspent, although, you are vastly improving these cars, and most importantly, ensuring they are safe for their next owner, which is a huge credit to you ❤.

That interior beings so many memories back 😭 my mum ferried us around in a 2003 black 330d saloon as children. It’s an EPIC ENGINE, we got it in 2006 with already 100k miles on which is nothing for those engines, it’s STILL on the road somewhere now with 213k on it!
-
I have to say Matt you do seem to go to a lot of effort on bringing up the cars to a good standard and I really think that is very commendable. I have met a few traders in my time and I don't think any of them would do a fraction of the repair work that you get done on your cars. And most of them would probably just use the YouTube channel for pretending they do this routinely on their vehicles just to create a good impression.

Many years ago, a mate of mine ordered a 330d E46 touring from BMW Bridgegate. Even back in 2003, he added 12k worth of options. It had everything possible to option.

What a coincidence.. I've watched alot of your videos past couple of months, and was driving on the highway here in Denmark on my way home. As I was driving my POS Mitsubishi Colt, I started to miss my old e46 Touring (have been for a while though) - And then I began to wonder if you ever made a video with an e46.. Now I got home, and would you look at that.. A new video from Highpeak Autos with a e46 Touring, uploaded 1 hour ago.. Thank you for the videos!
-
What nice little car - I have had several estates in my life. Why not? You get a nicely trimmed luggage area instead of an unfinished boot that is always just to short/narrow for a boxy load. Just warning, when you see snow or ice outside - take the bus. These BMW’s are hedge hunters!
-
Brings back happy memories my old man has a gun metal e46 m3 back in 2003. Such a great platform
-
It is a very nice car for it's age. Yes, the calipers and brake pipes might have rusted away, but the rest is in such a great condition. With the paint job done - it looked very nice. I would have considered to buy this for 4-5k to be honest.
-
My uncle has an X-reg 330d automatic one of these with huge wheels and dog cages fitted in the back. It's been "to the moon and back" as they say. At this rate he'll keep running it until he gives up driving. Like the regular E46 it still holds up today, styling wise.
-
Some of the known problems with this specific model of car are: Missing car mats Rust on wheel arches Worn out wiper blades Empty crisp packets in storage bins Some have been smoked in The steering wheel is worn on high mileage ones
-
Keep on saving these old cars matt. You could start a new trend.
-
Ah yes, the good ol E46
-
Cheers for the videos Matt. Side note- Always appreciate it when you put decent tyres on a used car a lot of traders don’t give it a thought but I always look out for them. 👍
