WTB: Minty E46 sedan

[w00tBMW]

Looking for a very clean, unmodified, rust free, sub-75K example of manual gear box e46 Sedan. Has to have sport seats/sport steering wheel. Open to choice of colors although Alpine white, shades of blue or Imola red would be top choices. No black unless contrasting interior. Willing to travel and pay top dollar. I'm located in Seattle. Thanks for looking.

Aren't we all. Good luck

I'd like a 330i, 02+, sport pack, cold weather, HK, Gunmetal grey, grey leather or anything but black leather. A Mango can dream...

Dont worry we will eventually get one. I was second on the list yesterday (called an hour late) and missed out on a ZHP (silver grey/black) listed for $8999 (one owner west coast car with cold weather package 53,000 miles) at a Toyota dealership in NM. It was listed and gone in an hour. I would also take a 04-06 R53 (MINI) and a part of me says it could be more fun as I dont need back seats. I just love the styling of the e46 and too bad many out there are not in good fettle.

Not surprised it went fast. You may have dodged a bullet seeing as it was a ZHP. Mini's are fun to drive I've heard. The E46 though, there's nothing else like it.

Found one .. One owner, mint condition, sport seats, cold weather package, manual gearbox, Titanium Ag/Black imitation leather, slick top. Looks brand new !!
Now just need style 68 wheels Anyone have any pointers

Beautiful car! Congrats. Style 68 is pretty much king on the E46. ZHP 18s may look a bit better, but I want the sidewall + weight + price of 17s. My only recommendation would be to find an LSD if possible.

How much did you get it for? I am in the market for one too but on the east coast

Check Craigslist for Style 68's. Wait for a set that is in nice condition. I think I paid $500 a few years ago.

I paid $6500. Exactly what I wanted .. A one owner sub-100K mile well maintained mint condition manual transmission e46 sedan with sport package cold weather package and no sunroof. Alpine white would've been icing on the cake but condition trumps color choice in these hard to find examples. Thank you all for the pointers on style 68s
