1999 - 2005 (E46) (1999 - 2005) Starting in 1999 the E46 3 Series picked up where the E36 left off. Larger, with smoother lines, and with more advanced engines than its predecessor, the E46 easily held the title of "Best Car of the Year" throughout its life.

Differences between 2002 & 2003 325 or 330xi models?

Hello, newbie here. Are there any differences between the 2002 & 2003 models 325 or 330 xi? I think side air bags is one of them, am I right? Anything else? Apologize if this has been asked before, I searched but couldn't find anything relevant. Thanks a lot.

The later 2003 330s (built after March 2003) got a 6 speed manual, that's the most significant change. Gears 1-5 are the same and 6th is an overdrive for better fuel economy.
