What's your thought on a 03 325ci???

[mikeyb6s4]

Hey guys, Im thinking about buying an 03' 325ci... It has 117,000 miles and has been recently serviced, including plugs, belts, a new valve cover seal, new control arms and suspension within the last 20,000 miles and a few other things... Anything in particular to look at with these cars that I should worry about? It is black on black with aluminum belt line trim and Harmon Kardon stereo. The guy is asking $9000 for it. What do you think? Thanks

Check the cooling system e46 cooling systems leak like crazy and you'll eventually have to replace almost every component. Control arm bushings, sway bar end links, i'll post back when i remember all the other crap i've put into mine. that being said I LOVE my e46 so i'd go for it if it looks good.

i drove one not to long ago and given how meh it is and how much better you can get for $9000 i would pass but that is just me

That's S50 E30 money.

fun cars to drive, but i always liked the extra power of the 330ci.

that said, if the price is right and its in good shape, i think you'd love it. can't say i've met too many people that haven't loved their E46 coupes to pieces.

9 is a little on the high side for the milage

a 330ci would be more fun, but it has higher insurance and is more expensive

I wouldnt pay more then $6000 for a e46 with more then 100k on it.

Get a 330. The 325 is so underpowered
