Got a little budget, mileage doesn't matter, but nothing insane like 130k. Age, same thing, nothing from the 90's or older.

I found a couple of nice 100k 2001/2 BMW 330i's. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there.

Anyone with any suggestions?
 
130k = insane? You must be joking? So mileage does matter to you. Surely at this age / budget of car, then the condition is by far more important than the miles. Sure, 200k+ might be a bit much.

I have a 2002 E46 330i Estate (on 95k) and it's not too bad. A little on the small side, and not very good on fuel, but overall nice enough (although I'm currently looking to swap it out for another Range Rover for the extra space). If you're actually looking for space though, you'd be better with a bigger car. E39? Or I would have another B5.5 Passat. Both much bigger than the 3 series.

SAAB is a good shout though, although never had one, always fancied one for a change.
 
Just picked this up.

It's a decent car! New disks and pads all over. Tyres have tonnes of life (look new!), body is immaculate for it's age. 109k miles, full service history with all stamps in log book. MOT until march next year (no advisories).

Bloody good purchase. Runs like new.

It would appear the advert has gone from the dealer's stocklist too.

So, come on then, what the details on it? 330i SE prefacelift evidently, but what about spec? :)
 
Details please this was way too quick :p
Car has been taken off the dealer's website already too!

Doesn't feel old and pulls like a train. So maybe not holding all ponies it had from the forecourt when new. But feels stiff and 'tight'. So yea, really.

No idea how they drive but as far as cheap estates go it's got to be among the best looking.

I agree, not a bad car for £3k!
 
Aye, they had some tasty motors there. I'll be going back once my pocket is a bit deeper that's for sure.

Have a look around, hard to find one for less in good condition with no rust, new shoes on all 4 wheels, fully refurbished wheels (full, not just rim), new disks and pads, leather seats that don't have a mark on them and full service history with all the stamps at the correct times.
