Picked this up this morning. 00 323iT, 5spd, sport pkg, 110k. Bought it sight unseen from an ebay wholesaler. Only prob found thus far is the window washers pump is washing the ground, not the windows.

Sorry for the grainy pics, it was dusk.

Also, shameless plug my 540i/6 is for sale, see the classified section. I'm also selling the winter tire package. I'm going to be getting another E34, but can't afford both right now.

nice car, the only thing i don't like about those are the head lights, is there any way you can store the 540 rather than sell it?

No I can't afford to keep the 540, as much as I'd love to have both. I am going to look for a project E34. Hopefully a 535/5 or maybe a touring with a blown tranny.

Gorgeous car. E46 sport pack is an amazing vehicle. Is that a colorado red VW passat in the background?

Mostly for practical reasons. I have a thing for wagons and this one drives like a dream. I went through the records and turns out this is a 1 owner. The maintenance booklet has all the oil and inspection stamps from the same PA dealer. Brake and coolant flushes also recorded. :D The E46 is becoming a real bargain as prices are dropping like a rock. I paid just over $9k for this and it's a beauty.

I'm still dreaming of a project E34 touring that will get a 5 speed and a S52. ;) But the reality of planning a wedding, needing to build a garage over the summer and some other house projects right now means that is not possible.

Fantastic car. Good choice.

Dare I say that I like it better than the 540?

Actually that is the total snow we have had this year. Unbelievable, usually we measure it in feet.

Yes that's my finance's car. It's a nice driver but needs a 5spd to go with the 1.8T.

Blasphemy!
