2001 BMW E46 330i Sport sedan - manual, 135k mi, very good condition $6200

Very nice 2001 BMW 330i sedan, manual transmission -- sport package and premium package, Titanium silver exterior on black leather interior, 135k miles. This is a great looking E46 (BMW speak for 1999-2006) and it’s a blast to drive. It has a factory spoiler (rare!), ASA 18x8 wheels all around with recent Hankook tires. It’s a great running and driving car which has had a lot of maintenance and care. There are a couple of minor cosmetic flaws (see the list below). Nice sounding Harman-Kardon stereo, excellent transmission, strong engine, oil just changed. Keyless entry, power sport seats, ABS, airbags, sunroof, HID (xenon) headlights, all the goodies.

Recent new battery, new windshield, oil change, and drive belt. In the past few years I have replaced the clutch, front brake rotors and pads, front wheel bearings, front control arms and bushings, radiator, expansion tank, water pump, thermostat, shocks, tensioner, idler pulley, valve cover gasket, spark plugs, and more. Several important weak points common to E46 cars have been addressed. VANOS seals have been replaced (Beisan kit). The transmission bushings have been replaced (sticking shifter problem) while the clutch was done, along with the flex disc (Guibo). New upgraded rear shock mounts (Bimmerworld). The oil filter housing gasket was replaced (common leak issue), and it has new transmission mounts (stock).

Interior is in nice shape with good sport power seats with memory, new floor mats, and a couple of flaws listed below. Everything works as it should and there are no error lights on the dash or other problems, it’s a really fun car to drive with no issues. Clear title in hand, two keys with remote included. In Cary near Hwy 55 & High House RD. Call or email Mike at 919-454-5445 or whit32@gmail.com.

Cosmetic issues
------
Rear ashtray cover broken/missing
Some interior pieces have flaking latex coating
Couple of touched up scratches on the exterior
Carpet torn under floor mat
Has had some paint work from a prior accident
Sunroof shade sticks sometimes
Some paint flaws under left rear windows (touched up)
Some paint peeling on the lower front fascia, looks fine from 10 feet away
Some minor flaws on the wheels - curb rash, imperfections

That's the nicest one of these I've ever seen for that kind of money. No wonder it sold fast.

I may have a perfect track record of always selling my cars to the first person who looks at it. I'm trying to recall, but I don't think I have ever met a person who said "no thanks" :)

Uh, I did that to you. :oops:

I think I made the right choice in buying the ZHP instead of the 540i, though. But if there hadn't been a ZHP for sale at the exact same time right here on this very forum...
