BMW 330 e46 - Pics of Msport/Non Msport cars?

I can't find any google pics but the purple colour suits it with certain wheels and I've seen a topaz blue coupe round Gosport on rare occasions which always looks decent.
 
Also, another quick question as google isn't really too helpful, do all e46 have a dcs button, or just all the sport models?


...I like the chrome sills on black and the dark purple.

Say you find a coupe advertised as a sport, but you suspect it is just a normal full spec coupe with the sport alloys and black leather interior and body kit... how can you tell if it a genuine sport or not? (ie. with the sport suspension)

Post it here and we can tell you.
 
That's 7k for a prefacelift, wheels are a curbing-disaster zone, looks like it has not been cleaned in a while, has no xenons, will cost the same to run as a 330ci, lumber/support areas of driver's seat looks heavily worn too.

I'd avoid!

A 330 bumps my insurance up quite a bit, next year when I'm 25 that's when I'm going to splurge on an M3 so I just want something decent until then that will do the job, but nothing that's been "shagged". I'm replacing the alloys anyway (already bought), not too fussed about xenons as I can install them. Does the seat look that worn? I think it could just be a bad photo. If the guy comes down to 6.5 would that be worth it then? Every car I've looked at with similar spec and similar millage seems to be between 6-8k (excluding the shody cheap ones and the spec'd up expensive ones). What price should I be looking to pay for a decent 325Ci Sport with a max millage of 70k?
 
The Xenons won't be as easy to fit as you'd imagine because you still need to update the controller and add the auto light sensor/dial which is some work unless you manage to go a manual Xenon route!

A 325 is fine but that one isn't one I'd call a well looked after example really, surely you can search a bit further out nationwide and if you see one you like make travel arrangements? post here of course :p

Funny, it was pennies difference for everyone I know that quoted on a 330 between the age of 21-25.

God I hope they aren't replicas!

Not easily, well, not easy to do properly with projectors, and bi-xenon.

They do tend to wear badly on the drivers bolster if the car has been used for short trips, which that one looks like it has.

I'd certainly not want to pay that much for that car.
