That's a gorgeous E46, A 330ci was one of 2 cars I wanted when I was looking to replace my 1.2 clio first car, The 3.0i Z4 was the other car I wanted and one localish came up first and that was that, Not a bad car to upgrade to when I was 20.
 
Bought this a little while ago, have always liked the E46 and it's totally original (a must), late 2005, now on 64k miles.

I know manual is theoretically better but the auto is actually very good for the age. It's no exaggeration to say it's 95% as new.

Absolutely stunning.
 
Isn't it funny how a car can go from being a classy, timeless design which would look at home on the driveway of either a 60 year-old company CEO or a young car enthusiast, to an absolute shed with just the addition of some crappy wheels or stick-on tat and dodgy '4D' numberplates? If the wrong person had bought that E46, it would have been desecrated in the blink of an eye. But as it stands, what a wonderful example of a brilliant design.

E46 convertibles still look classy when not ruined by chav stuff.
 
Thanks guys.

Love the E46, looks fantastic. How are all the arches doing rust wise? They look perfect from the photos.

As far as I can tell they are all rust-free, for good measure I've deep cleaned and coated the underside of the arches in anti-rust stuff.
 
My Polestar 2 was delivered today.

First impressions of the electric drive and feel are wow !! The car rides so much better than the 5 Series I’ve been using for the past 3 years.
The acceleration is really impressive. I had a Golf R for 2 years with similar 0-60 performance but this feels so much faster - It’s push your head back into the seat fast. Probably the instant torque delivery from the electric motors.
  • The frameless mirrors look amazing - why don't more cars have these
  • The start button is in the seat, so when you sit in it, it's ready to go
  • The surround view camera makes reverse parking super easy
  • The Pilot Assist is a great function to demo to people. Love the indicate to auto change lanes.
  • The interior quality is high - lot's of wood and soft touch plastics. The Piano black trim attracts the usual finger prints and dust :/
  • The full length pano roof lightens up the cabin

No more Petrol stations :) :)

Looks fairly smart, a bit like Volvo S60 mated with a Peugeot 508.

Loving the Pano single piece roof!

But not liking the 2012 iPad 3 stuck on the dash with an air vent mount.
