bennno2005 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Agreed its a rare find. Personally I think a Clubsport should be blue though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why's an E90 better value? Because its newer? If that's the case surely a brand new Dacia Sandero would be a better option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you link me to an E92 330i M sport coupe with 70k on & electric heated leather for £6800 then as I'm struggling to find one? That E46 is also still under warranty for corrosion BTW Some people will prefer the E90 but some will also like to have something a bit rarer. Not saying its worth the money as I paid no-where near that for mine but to some it may well be.

Kermitthefrog Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I think you'll find a lot have people have come back to an E46 from an E92, yes the E92 is more refined and modern but the E46 has a much better chassis and is not plagued with injector and hpfp issues as seen on the E90's. Personally i think a 06 E46 will hold its value better than a 06 E90 bennno2005 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kermitthefrog Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I don't know about chocolate boxes anyway, maybe in the case of the 330d due to torque but not in the case of the 330i. Looking after the oil and filter should see you without any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunk1 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Forgive my ignorance but what's the difference from say an 330 Ci M sport to a Club sport ? I see this has high tax band which will put some off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasa Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 imthink they have the tax band wrong,also the spoiler and wheels are different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this has high tax band which will put some off In all honesty not a great deal. Individual colours, wheels, spoiler, sound deadening removed, shorter gear knob, interior trims and kick plates, few more of the options included as standard (like electric seats) and obviously limited in number.

Correct, my 06 is automatic and I pay 490 a year. I think it's something ridiculous like 2g of Co2 over the threshold [emoji30] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz2282 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Don't think I could justify spending that amount of money on car tax on a 330 think it would definitely have to be an m3 to make me feel like I'm getting my monies worth !!!
