The price is okay, but you couldn’t pay me to buy a modified/tuned Subaru. Stock is best cuz they don’t blow up hah

2003 BMW 330Ci - $6,750 (Kerrisdale, Vancouver)



Hello,

For sale is a mechanically solid e46 330ci. Low KMs, decent service history and some bolt-on mods means it drives very tight. Ready to go now as a fun daily driver, with some continued weekend work as-needed.

Details:
- 163,500 KMs (purchased at 157,300)
- 3.0l M54 straight 6
- 5 speed manual
- Very straight body, no rust and clean
- Paint looks completely original
- Very dry engine (no major leaks)
-eBay headers (catless), AFE Intake, single-mass clutch
- Comfort seats (sport seats included)

Major service items during my ownership:
- New Battery 157,300km
- Exhaust mid-pipe replacement (157,400km)
- Oil & Filter (157,500km)
- Motor mounts and transmission mounts (157,650km)
- CCV (PCV), Intake cleaning, intake manifold and TB gaskets, Lower intake boot (158,200km)
- Expansion Tank, upper/lower rad hoses (161,000kms)
- L/R front control arms (162,000km)
- Wheel alignment (162,250km)

Previous owner:
- Single-mass clutch replacement/upgrade (unknown KMs)
- eBay catless headers and secondary air pump delete (unknown KMs)
- AFE intake (unknown KMs)
- Brake service (unknown KMs, lots of life letf)
- GT Radial Performance all-season tires

Not a perfect car:
- Consumes oil/puffs blue occasionally (oil top-ups every 750kms)
- Sunroof inoperable (left cassette is seized)
- A/C belt is off (unknown whether system is charged)
- Horn inoperable (haven't looked into this)
- Lots of minor cosmetic issues interior and exterior

Bottom line:
This is a dependable, fun daily driver. I drove 1200+kms in past two weeks (trips to Whistler and Kelowna). Come take a look at it with the expectation that you can take this car home and enjoy it immediately while addressing non-critical service items on the weekends.

Included in sale is a pair of vinyl power sport seats (for e46) in very good condition. I never got around to installing them

Thanks for looking. Cheers, Oliver.

That Cons list sounds pretty scary

[westopher]

That sounds like a complete fucking pile. Topping up oil every 750kms?
A positive is the seller sounds honest?

[bcrdukes]

Have fun enjoying the summer in that car haha

If the CCV has been replaced, blue smoke could be a sign of bad piston rings. M54s 3L motors do consume oil over time, but assuming that a "top-up" is 1L, 1L/750KMs is excessive. The prospective buyer should ask the owner if they've done a compression test recently.

Everything else on that cons list is minor for a BMW of that vintage.

Oil top up every 750km is pretty normal (BMW states 1L/1000km is normal). I have experienced 1L/750km. I rebuilt the DISA valve, VANOS, and started running Rotella 5W40 and it was fine. My car lasted 60K km under my ownership, 2 auto-x, 2 track days, and a bunch of goofing around.

Sunroof inoperable - common issue. Easy fix. Plenty of DIY on E46Fanatics

A/C Belt - replace all the belts, pulleys, tensioners. Remember that the big fat bolt is one time use. That one is expensive.

Horn - most likely just died. Plenty of parts around. My lowhorn stopped working after awhile.

Seems like a decent deal for a working E46 with the big engine:
