Do you think its worth part ex-ing my 2003 E46 320D sport to a newer model?

Are these models plagued with rust issues like my car?

Im quite surprised you have a lot of rust on your E46? They really shouldn't be rusty at a decade old!!

They both look fairly crap to me. Wait until you can trade in for an F30 M Sport instead

Stop posting that image now, it's tedious, and 4 times in less than an hour is OTT. No need to have two threads on this topic either. You should know better.

This is specifically an Upgrade to a BMW no other car... Clue is in the title

Its the same thread, with the same discussion, no matter how you sugar coat the title.

Fix the rust, simples. If your buying a newer car because of some surface rust, that's no better than buying a new car because of lower VED.

If it's rotting from the inside out, that's different.
