Control arm bushings were clearly the achilles heel of the E46, with a high % needing replacement before 100k miles. Brakes and clutches were more contingent upon owner driving style. Most clutches make it past 100k. Most brakes past 50k. AC odor preventable if you shut AC off before stopping for the night, allowing it to dry out.
Overall a simple E46 without a lot of electronic gadgets is a very reliable, long-lasting vehicle, regardless of build year.
The E90 has had more issues with software and the runflats.
