fair point, hard to believe it got a look in when you look at what you've got though!

will get my coat

Not sure ill throw it away... sure there is some retro sounddog who is crying out for it!

But ill def PM you when it comes out ...

Re the Mazda 6 ... still a good car, but yes... i can only blame the thought of buying one over what i got on being a side effect of er... christmas?

Beautiful nearly mint untouched e46 in the best colour.

Or a mazda 6.

I assume the coat dobbo referred to was a straight jacket, and was for you.

Even considering such a thing makes you totally bonkers.

But glad you saw sense and bought such a lovely e46

Rich.. u just reminded me... i might have the old business CD unit from my 330d in the garage somewhere!!

That would be an immense win as means i get CD til i sort out a nav unit for the car...

Looks great its one car I still seriously temp after. Not familiar with the clubsport whats different engine wise to a standard m sport 330 Ci apart from the obvious body changes

I used to own a 2005 E46 330d coupe M sport with every possible trimming on the options list. And I still maintain, it's the best looking 3 series ever to come out of BMW. I also think it was better built than my E90...which wasn't exactly shabby.

Great find, by the way

Engine wise - zero diff!

Apparently the only differences are cosmetic and a 20kg weight saving from removal of insulation..... negligible difference id reckon.

Weirdly i prefer this to my E92 335d in terms of quality, but that 335d engine was something else!
