6k will not get you an M-car worth having these days.

You will get an e46 for less than 6k, only problem is the money you'll spend fixing it, means you might as well buy a better one and save the hassle, unless you fancy doing the work
Brake discs are around £120-£150 a corner, the boot floor cracks, that's about £800-£1000 to plate it, head gaskets are common to go at about 100k that's going to be £750+, rust isn't cheap to sort out, inspection 2 service are about £250 for the bits then another £250 for labour, and the valves need doing too, the vanos is a common issue aswell,
I've got an e46 and it's had most of these issues,

6k will not get you an M-car worth having these days. This. I saw 5 E46 M3s this time last year and many were junk. IMHO to get something that won't be a bag of curse word you are looking at 11k and even then with a bit of searching. You will get an e46 for less than 6k, only problem is the money you'll spend fixing it, means you might as well buy a better one and save the hassle, unless you fancy doing the work Brake discs are around £120-£150 a corner, the boot floor cracks, that's about £800-£1000 to plate it, head gaskets are common to go at about 100k that's going to be £750+, rust isn't cheap to sort out, inspection 2 service are about £250 for the bits then another £250 for labour, and the valves need doing too, the vanos is a common issue aswell, I've got an e46 and it's had most of these issues, I reckon that boat has passed. Maybe I was unlucky but here is my take on what I saw. I did have list of requirements: -Manual ; I dropped this after driving a few of both -Preferably a sunroof ; the 'verts are too wobbly for me but on days like today I do like a bit sky. -New discs and pads ; I saw how much they were beforehand -Good service history with evidence of it -Decent tyres ; I again saw how much even mid-range stuff was ; and learned what a fallacy that would be. -Rust free if possible; otherwise the least rustiest car I could find -Coupe ; see above. As said parts are expensive and you have to be careful where you get the parts from ; the motor factors will sometimes supply parts from non-Ms that fit ; brake pads are a good example despite being "OE" ; I wonder why people moan about the brakes... Anyway, here's my experience of what I saw: theleylandlegends.wordpress.com/2017/03/11/yeah-mate-you-can-bag-a-good-m3-for-8000-really/theleylandlegends.wordpress.com/2017/03/15/bmw-searching-part-2/Mine hasn't also been cheap to own, but I've detailed that in a thread elsewhere. I came close to selling it a month ago. |
