E36 M3 is faster, handles better, and the parts will be cheaper. The E46 330 is not as fast, handles well but not as straight edge, more comfortable, nicer interior and newer. Also it depends on who owned the M3 before they take more of a beating then the 330s usually will. You may also be able to get a CPO 330 and still have a warranty. BMW E46 3 Series Coupe 330Ci Technical Specs 2000,2001,2002,2003: 231 PS (228 hp), Petrol, Fuel consumption:9.1 l/100km (26 MPG), Dimensions: Length: 176.77 in (449.0 cm), Width: 69.29 in (176.0 cm), Height: 53.94 in (137.0 cm) You had a choice of 6-speed (3 pedals) manual, 5-speed auto (Steptronic), or "SMG" (SSG), which is a 6-speed manual with an automated clutch. The SMG/SSG should not be considered "an automatic". Don't forget that pre-2004 3-pedal 330Ci only had a 5 speed. That's the only time there was a change from 5 to 6 speeds for the 330Ci. Description: Used 2002 BMW 3 Series 330Ci with Rear-Wheel Drive, Sport Package, Leather Seats, Subwoofer, Performance Package, Limited Slip Differential, Heated Seats, Keyless Entry, Fog Lights, Wind Deflector, and Alloy Wheels Chronic 330ci said: I have a 2003 BMW 330ci MSport Auto, with the steptronic 5 speed gearbox. Last week i was arriving at a roundabout when it seemed to lose power and i had to limp onto and off the roundabout. It became apparent the gearbox was not changing up or down, and i had a warning light on my dash which looks like a cog with an E46s, while alluring with their relatively "cheap" prices of entry, are by no means "cheap" to maintain. Expect $1k+/year to maintain, some years more (tires, brakes, major maintenance), some years less (only fluid/filter changes). They are reliable cars, but that's really only if you stay on top of preventative maintenance. 330ci aftermarket suspension overhaul. I've had my 2004 330Ci since it had 81k miles in 2012 at age 15, and now at age 20 I've got a deteriorating 134k mile car that I'm super in love with. As winter break approaches, I'm planning on doing (essentially) a mechanical restoration with everything from spark plugs to replacing the cooling system. I'm looking for tyres for BMW E46 330ci. I have r17 wheels, so the tyres should have following parameters: 225/45/r17 91W (according to the bmw spec). I have selected two models: - Dunlop SportMaxx RT 2 225/45/r17 91Y - Michelin Pilot Sport 4 225/45/r17 94W XL Those models aren't available in the version 91W. Both models have excellent ratings: Vay Nhanh Fast Money.
