View Full Version : want a cheap E46? 323i for sale 7K obo
sefb222 10-16-2007, 12:25 PM moving overseas, so i need to let a few things go.
one of which is my 5sp 1999 E46 323i w 131k miles.
the good:
engine was replaced due to a money shift. i have receipts for work performed at freedman's automotive in north jersey.
engine is from a 2000 325i, and has about 73k on it.
car is CLEAN, has no dents or dings, VERY minor scuffs, and interior is near flawless. seats show no wear, including driver's bolsters.
underhood area looks new and factory correct.
tires are good, with excellent tread. rims have been curbed, but are straight.
stereo is factory business CD
2 window regulators have been replaced. driver's front, and passenger's rear.
windows have a nice tinting job.
this car looks very close to new when cleaned and waxed. people who see it and ride in it have a hard time believing that it is 8 years old.
the bad:
brakes feel like they could use new rotors soon.
sunroof needs attention. the sliding panel has come off of the track, which i think means it needs new plastic clips. i have purchased the clips, and they are included with the car.
the E-brake handle is dissasembled. i loaned the car to my assistant, and she brought it back to me with a broken e-brake handle... i have no idea how she did it, but it looks like she pulled the button out and the rod came with it.

edit: here's a few pics. i will take better ones tomorrow.

EMAIL me at sefb13 at gmail.com
PLEASE do not send PMs here. my box is almost full.
this is a VERY clean E46 for an incredibly low price. i do not have the time to attend to the minor issues, so i'm letting it go for a good bit below what it's worth.
if it's not gone by saturday, i'm taking it to carmax.

gotta love them parking tickets!
thanks!!
my turboed e30
i wish i could do it.. if i hadnt just purchased another E30 a few weeks ago, i'd be all about it. i have an S52 swapped 1990 325is, and now an all original 1990 325 w 89K miles, for the wife... those are the keepers.. the rest is getting sold.
How many owners? How is the transmission?
not sure of the amount of owners.. i got it from a close friend, and i know he wasnt the original owner. i'll carfax it tomorrow when i look at the VIN.
trans feels great. it has the typical E46 "clunk" when shifting into first from a stop, but my brand new 2001 330ci, and my 2004 325ix had the same thing, and the dealer told me it was nothing to worry about.
sefb222 10-19-2007, 09:36 PM bump. still have it... 6.5Kobo
gaabbee 10-19-2007, 10:17 PM hows the trans...and clutch? ever replaced
bump. still have it... 6.5Kobo
Great-looking Bimmer! Would you give me the VIN? Still available, right?
sefb222 10-19-2007, 11:07 PM hows the trans...and clutch? ever replaced
trans is good and smooth. clutch was replaced in aug of 05, at the time the engine was replaced. work was performed at freedman auto service, edison nj. ph there is 732 985 2211
i have the receipt for the work.
Great-looking Bimmer! Would you give me the VIN? Still available, right?
WBAAM3335XKC56259
yes, still available.
i just ran a carfax. it comes up clean, no accidents, no issues.
someone take this car off my hands.
i'd like to do it next week, if at all possible. this weekend is hectic for me, and i wont be able to put my E30 on the road just yet.
xxballaboveallx 10-20-2007, 12:53 AM Anymore interior pics?
Also is this car located in Bmore or NJ?
sefb222 10-20-2007, 02:07 AM Anymore interior pics?
Also is this car located in Bmore or NJ?
i'll get more pics tomorrow..
car is in baltimore. purchased from my friend in NJ, hence the plates.
meseetree 10-21-2007, 01:08 PM where in baltimore are you?
I'm looking for a DD for my girlfriend, we live in the owings mills area.
would like to check it out this thursday if possible.
sefb222 10-21-2007, 09:24 PM thursday sounds fine. i'll be around, and can meet you in towson if thats easier than bmore city.
i took a last minute trip to NYC the past two days, so i wasnt able to get pics.. hopefully tomorrow. :)
I'm interested but I want to see more detailed pictures, especially of the interior trunk, engine, front and rear bumpers.
Also what kind of service records do you have?
sefb222 10-24-2007, 10:45 PM I'm interested but I want to see more detailed pictures, especially of the interior trunk, engine, front and rear bumpers.
will do. i accidentally put my wife's luggage in the storage space, with our camera charger still in the pocket of a suitcase from the trip to disney. gotta go get the charger (HOPEFULLY tomorrow) and i should have them online shortly thereafter.
bumpers look pretty good. rear is surprisingly clean. the front has normal chips. car has never had paintwork, and it looks exceptionally clean.
interior is pretty much flawless, with the exception of where someone tried to break in to steal the DVD player. (thats coming out.. car comes with the "business cd"
they damaged the interior panel on the pass side where the seatbelt comes out. i have the replacement part already, however.
they also did some damage to the top of the pass side door panel, but nothing too bad. the rest of the interior looks damn close to mint. no wear.
engine bay is really clean. (P.O. installed a "cold air intake" which looks neat, and sounds good, but i prefer the stock airbox, which he's promised to give me. i just need to hassle him some more about it.)
like i said, i'll get good pics ASAP.
anyone local is welcome to come check it out and drive it, whenever.
Also what kind of service records do you have?
i dont have ANY, with the exception of the engine swap and clutch replacement, but when i ran the carfax, several service records popped up, noting oil changes, etc done at the dealership.
any BMW dealer will be able to tell you whats been done and when.
VIN is above.
AND, please do not expect a 20K dollar car for 6500 bucks. this car is worth around 8 grand or so, maybe 9 to the right buyer. i'm selling it for 6.5K, bottom line. FIRM, so no tire kickers, hagglers, etc. i'd sooner lose my ass on it at carmax than let some "enthusiast" tell me it's worth 5 grand. i've owned 12 different 3-series cars over the last 12 years, from E30s to E46 M3s. i know them inside and out. i've been a member here for several years, and have sold 3 cars via this site, with NO issues whatsoever.
it is not perfect.
it needs front brakes.
the sunroof needs attention (have parts)
the E-brake handle needs to be put back together. (i have no idea how the hell my assistant screwed it up, but she did.)
thats about it. i cant promise thats everything, but nothing else has given me an issue.
if the car were perfect, i'd ask for 9k. perhaps more.
it's really F'ing clean.
buy a cheap E46 and be stoked.
end of story.
;)
sefb222 10-24-2007, 10:47 PM almost forgot... it also has the E46 M3 trunk spoiler.
thats comes with the car. ;)
and, perhaps this carfax link will work. (fingers crossed) http://www.carfax.com/viewEmailReport.do?a=M%2Fl1AlPSNeXZhz%2BrtqfLkkGmG Bird15Hj5N5MJTMofWM0CcVc36YD9bDgDaCTSi3
I wouldn't try to nail you to the wall or drop the price sharply, I just know these cars inside and out too and I'd want to know what I was getting into before dropping the cash. Especially since this car is for my girlfriend. I'll have her think about it and maybe we'll be in touch. We're only a couple hours away (north of philly) As long as you're not hiding something weird (which it doesn't sound like) then it won't be a waste of a trip.

nah, i have no desire to piss anyone off. ive been a member here for a long time, and i intend to remain a member in good standing. i'm still, and always will be a BMW enthusiast. my other bimmer is an S52 swapped E30, and i'm constantly tinkering with it. several people on this board know me in "real life" , and know what kind of person i am.
here's a link to my ebay feedback: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=*sethciferri*&ftab=AllFeedback&sspagename=STRK:ME:UFS
feel free to "google" me as well. i'm easy to find.
Hi, I emailed but I never got a response. Did you sell the car yet? Can you check and see if you got it or maybe it got spam filtered. Thanks.

sefb222 10-26-2007, 09:56 AM both addresses work.. tmail is to my phone. gmail has more of a spam filter...
sundownz 10-26-2007, 10:51 AM Wow! Thats a great price! GL on the sale... wish I was buying it :)
sefb222 10-26-2007, 01:21 PM thanks.. just gotta let some stuff go.

i have to drop off some car parts with the guy who's building my dune buggy, so i'll be around if you'd like to see the car in person. his place is right off of market st near the home depot, so i can meet you in that area if you like.
